Accounting

Sumner Inc.'s capital structure consists of 80% debt and 20% common equity, its beta is 1.9 before tax, cost of debt is currently at 12%, and its tax rate is 40%.

The risk-free rate is 5.0% and the market total return is 11%. By how much would the WACC change due to this shift in Sumners capital structure?
