Cost for capital and reseve = Rf+( Rm-Rf)* Beta

Here, Rf=10%

(Rm-Rf)= Risk Premium= 5%

Beta=1.28

Hence,

Cost for capital and reserve = 10+5*1.28=16.40%

Tax rate=4.8/18=25%

Cost of capital = 16.4*15/50+12*.75*10/50+25*.75*13.5/50

=4.92+1.8+5.06

=11.78%

B) Cost for capital and reserve=10+5*1.18=15.90%

Cost of capital=15.90*15/50+12*.75*10/50+25*.75*13.5/50

=11.63%
