-the answer- we know that : capital structure of 40 percent debt and 60 percent common equity with no preferred stock The yield to maturity on the company's outstanding bond is 9% the tax 40% and wacc is 9.96%

wd= 40% wc= 60% rd=9%

kd= rd(1-T) = 9 (1-0.4) = 5.4%

WACC = Wd.Kd+ Wp.Kp+ Wc.Kc 0.0996= 0.4 x 0.054+0 x 0 +0.6 x Kc 0.0996 = 0.0216 + 0.6Kc 0.0996-0.0216 = 0.6Kc 0.13 = Kc Kc= 13%

so... the percy motors of common equity is 13%
