Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Yield rate on unsecured bonds=12%

Yield rate on zero coupon bond=12%

Yield rate on 10% mortgage bonds=12%

Total debt value=10m+25m+20m=55m

Weight of unsecured bonds=10/55=0.182

Weight of zero coupon bonds=25/55=0.455

Weight of 10% mortgage bonds = 20/55= 0.363

Cost of debt=0.182*12+ 0.455*12+0.363*12=12%
