Answer:

B. 9.47%

Explanation:

Common Stock = 20,000,000*$18 = $360,000,000, so 360,000,000/895,000,000 = 0.4022

Preferred Stock=  $50,000,000, so 50,000,000/895,000,000 = 0.0559

Bonds = 500,000*0.97*1000 = $485,000,000, so 485,000,000/895,000,000 = 0.05419

WACC = 0.4022*15% + 0.0559*12% + 0.5419*8.5%* (1 - 0.4)

WACC = 0.06033 + 0.006708 + 0.0276369

WACC = 0.0946749

WACC = 9.47%
