Explanation / Answer

Total Market value of Equity=10*82=$820million

Total book value of Equity =10*5=$50 million

Total market value of debt=97+105=$203 million

Total Book value of debt=85+55=$140 million

a

Total book value = Total book value of Equity+ Total Book value of debt=140+50=$190mn

Equity/Value=50/190= 0.263157895

Debt/value=140/190=0.736842105

b

Total market value = Total market value of Equity+ Total market value of debt=820+203=$1023mn

Equity/Value=820/1023= 0.801564027

Debt/value=203/1023=0.198435973

C

Market value is more relevant
