The first bond issue has a face value of $100 million, has a coupon rate of 4 percent, and sells for 96 percent of par. The second issue has a face value of $85 million, has a coupon rate of 3 percent, and sells for 108 percent of par. The first issue matures in 24 years, the second in 7 years. Suppose the most recent dividend was $4.55 and the dividend growth rate is 4.9 percent. Assume that the overall cost of debt is the weighted average of that implied by the two outstanding debt issues. Both bonds make semiannual payments. The tax rate is 21 percent. What is the company's WACC?
