How do you calculate the WACC for this company?


IPO
Earline asks:

Company issues 400,000 shares in stock using an IPO and issues equity at $6 a share. This nets the company $5.

Industry Beta is 1.5
Debt ratio is .59
Equity ratio is .41
risk free rate is 9%

I have the B/S and I/S if that proves useful, but that’s all I have to try and calculate this. Any ideas?

    I can’t compute this without giving me the cost of debt and cost of equity

    the WACC would be 0.59 x cost of debt + 0.41 x cost of equity
