Difference between two wacc


Problem:

Sans Souci Trucking's balance sheet shows a total of noncallable $40 million long-term debt with a coupon rate of 6.50% and a yield to maturity of 7.00%. This debt currently has a market value of $38.595 million. The balance sheet also shows that the company has 10 million shares of common stock, and the book value of the common equity (common stock plus retained earnings) is $60 million. The current stock price is $30.00 per share; stockholders' required return, rs, is 12.00%; and the firm's tax rate is 40%. The CFO thinks the WACC should be based on market value weights, but the president thinks book weights are more appropriate.
