Respuesta :

Answer:

83.14%

Explanation:

Always keep in mind that market values are used when calculating weights for weighted average cost of capital (WACC):

Total equity market value =  10.8 x 28.8 = 311.04 mil

Total preferred equity market value = 2.8 x 16.3 = 45.64 mil

Total bond market value =  18.0 x 1,000 x 96.92 =  17.45 mil

Total firm value = 311.04 + 45.64 + 17.45 = 374.13 mil

Common equity weight = Total equity market value/Total firm value = 311.04/374.13 = 83.14%
