Finance

Olsen must raise additional capital to fund its upcoming expansion. The firm will have $4 million of retained earnings with a cost of rs = 13%. New common stock in an amount up to $6 million would have a cost of re = 15%. Furthermore, Olsen can raise up to $4 million of debt at an interest rate of rd = 11% and an additional $3 million of debt at rd = 14%. The CFO estimates that a proposed expansion would require an investment of $11.2 million. What is the WACC for the last dollar raised to complete the expansion?
