b. What are Filer's capital structure weights on a market value basis?
Explanation / Answer
Answer-a
The book value of equity is the book value per share times the number of shares, and the book value of debt is the face value of the company's debt, so:
BVE = 5,000,000($7) = $35,000,000
BVD = $60,000,000 +35,000,000 = $95,000,000
So, the total value of the company is:
V = $35,000,000 + 95,000,000 = $130,000,000
And the book value weights of equity and debt are:
E/V = $35,000,000/$130,000,000 = 0.26923
D/V = 1 - E/V = 0.73077
Answer-b
The market value of equity is the share price times the number of shares, so:
Market Value of Equity = 5,000,000($84) = $420,000,000
Using the relationship that the total market value of debt is the price quote times the par value of the bond, we find the market value of debt is:
MV of Debt = 0.94($60,000,000) + 1.07($35,000,000)
= $56400000 + 37450000 = $93,850,000
This makes the total market value of the company:
V = $420,000,000 + 93,850,000 = $513,850,000
And the market value weights of equity and debt are:
E/V = $420,000,000/$513,850,000 = 0.817359
D/V = 1 - E/V = 0.182641
