Answer:

9.028 %

Explanation:

weighted average cost of capital = cost of equity x weight of equity + cost of debt x weight of debt

where,

cost of equity = 11 %

cost of debt (consider after tax) = 6% x (1 - 0.30) = 4.20 %

weight of equity = 250 million ÷ 350 million = 0.71

weight of debt = 100 million ÷ 350 million = 0.29

therefore,

weighted average cost of capital = 11 % x 0.71 + 4.20 % x 0.29

                                                       = 9.028 %
