What weight should you use for preferred stock in the computation of OMG’s WACC? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

Total value of company = value of common stock +value of preferred + value of debt

                                          = (5,000,000 * 18 )+(4,000,000 * 17) +(6000*1080)

                                          = 90,000,000 + 68,000,000+ 6,480,000

                                            = $ 164,480,000

Weight of preferred stock = value of preferred stock / value of company

                                               = 68,000,000 / 164,480,000

                                                = .4134 or 41.34%
