Explanation / Answer

a.Filer’s capital structure weights on a book value basis?

The book value of equity is the book value per share times the number of shares outstanding, and the book value of debt is the face value of the firm’s bonds:

Be=$5 per share * 9600000 shares outstanding=$48000000

BVd=86000000+76200000=$162200000

The book value of Filer is the sum of the book value of equity and book value of debt:

BV=48000000+162200000=$210200000

The book value weights of equity and debt are:

Book value of equity=Book value of equity/Book value of filler

Book value of equity=48,000,000/2102,000,000=0.022

Book value of debt=1622,000,000/2102,000,000=0.77

b.Filer’s capital structure weights on a market value basis?

The market value of equity is the market value per share times the number of shares outstanding, and the market value of debt is the face value of the firm’s bonds times the market value percent of par value:

Market value of equity= 56* 96,000,00=$537,600,000

Market value of debt=86000000*0.91 + 67200000*.953=$142,301,600

The market value of Filer is the sum of the market value of equity and market value of debt:

     

      Market value of Filer=$537,600,000+$142,301,600=679901600

The market value weights of equity and debt are:

Market value of equity=Market value of equity/Market value of firm=537600000/679901600=.7907

Market value of debt=Market value of debt/Market value of firm=142301600/679901600=.2092
