Answer:
Market value of common stock (6,000,000 x $27) =$162,000,000
Market value of preferred stock (1,000,000 X $15) = $15,000,000
Market value of debt (10,000 x $1,190) = $11,900,000
Market value of the company $188,900,000
Weight of debt in the capital structure
= $11,900,000/$188,900,000 x 100
= 6.299% = 6.30%
Explanation:
In this case, there is need to calculate the market value of the company, which is the aggregate of market value of common stock, market value of preferred stock and market value of debt. The market value of each stock is obtained by multiplying the number of units outstanding by the current market price per stock. The weight of debt is determined by dividing the market value of debt by the market value of the company.
