WACC Using the securities above calculate the WACC for the following companies. Company A finances its cash needs with 30% debt, 40% preferred stock, and 30% equity. – WACC with RE – WACC with new common stock

Company B finances its cash needs with 60% debt, 10% preferred stock, and 30% equity. – WACC with RE – WACC with new common stock

Company C finances its cash needs with 20% debt, 5% preferred stock, and 75% equity. – WACC with RE – WACC with new common stock
