The stock has 31 million shares outstanding and a current market price of $26. When computing the WACC, what weight should the firm assign to its cost of debt?

carries AAA rating. The credit spread is 150 basis points of 10-year treasury yield. The 10-year treasury is

trading for $108 per share, paying a dividend of $9 annually. Common stock: 25,000,000 shares of common stock
outstanding; currently trading for $185 per share. Beta equals 1.22. Market and firm information: The expected return
