    Can anyone explain me this pb. Thank you!

     


    A company's capital structure consists entirely of long-term debt and common equity. The cost of capital for each component is shown below.

    Long-term debt

    8%

    Common equity

    15%

    The company pays taxes at a rate of 40%. If the weighted average cost of capital is 10.41%, what proportion of the company's capital structure is in the form of long-term debt?

    This is the equation:
    8%x (1-40%) D+15% (1-D) =10.41%
    => D=45% , E= 1-45% =55%
