Assume that investors hold Alphabet Inc (GOOGL) stock in retirement accounts that are free from personal taxes. Also assume that GOOGL’s current pre-tax WACC is 14% and its corporate tax rate is 35%. If GOOGL were to issue sufficient debt at a pre-tax cost of 7% to give them a debt to value ratio of 0.5, then the Google’s after-tax WACC would be closest to:
10.4%
12.8%
15.0%
16.0%
