Weight of equity = 1-D/A
Weight of equity = 1-0.45
W(E)=0.55
Weight of debt = D/A
Weight of debt = 0.45
W(D)=0.45
Cost of equity
As per CAPM
Cost of equity = risk-free rate + beta * (Market risk premium)
Cost of equity% = 4 + 1.2 * (5)
Cost of equity% = 10
Cost of debt
                  K = N
Bond Price =? [(Annual Coupon)/(1 + YTM)^k]     +   Par value/(1 + YTM)^N
                   k=1
                  K =10
1100 =? [(6*1000/100)/(1 + YTM/100)^k]     +   1000/(1 + YTM/100)^10
                   k=1
YTM = 4.7223575927
After tax cost of debt = cost of debt*(1-tax rate)
After tax cost of debt = 4.7223575927*(1-0.4)
= 2.83341455562
WACC=after tax cost of debt*W(D)+cost of equity*W(E)
WACC=2.83*0.45+10*0.55
WACC =6.77%
