Wants to have a weighted average cost of capital of 9.0 percent. The firm has an after-tax cost of debt of 6.0 percent and a cost of equity of 11.0 percent. What debt-equity ratio is needed for the firm to achieve its targeted weighted average cost of capital?

33.33%

Explanation:

WACC can be calculated using the following formula:

WACC = Ke * (E/V)       +    Kd(1-T) * (D/V)

Here

V = Market Value of Equity + Market Value of Debt

Or simple we can write it as:

V = E + D

kd(1-T) is after tax cost of debt which is given in the question and is 6%.

Ke = 9% cost of equity

WACC = 9%

So by putting values we have:

9% = 11% * (E/V) +  6% * (D/V)

Which means:

0.09 = 0.11(E/V) +  0.06(D/V)

By multiplying by (V/E), we have:

0.09(V/E) = 0.11 + 0.06(D/E)

As we know that the V/E is just the equity multiplier, which is equal to:

V/E = 1 + D/E

So by putting value we have:

0.09(D/E + 1) = 0.11 + 0.06(D/E)

Now, we can solve for D/E as:

0.09(D/E) + 0.09 = 0.11 + 0.06(D/E)

0.09(D/E) - 0.06(D/E) = 0.11 - 0.09

0.03(D/E) = 0.03

(D/E) = 0.02 / 0.03 = 33.33%

balanced lifestyle would be the type of lifestyle that fulfill all aspects of our life, including financial security, personal achievements, emotional balance, and intimate relationships with other people.

for me personally, the job that i would choose to achieve a balanced lifestyle is opening an online store.

online store can be managed from the comfort of our phone. if we are the owner of the store, we can determine our own working hours. we can arrange our working hours so we have time to do things such as taking care of children, cultivating romantic relationship, or do our hobby.
