FarCry Industries, a maker of telecommunications equipment, has 6 million shares of common stock outstanding, 4 million shares of preferred stock outstanding, and 45,000 bonds. Suppose the common shares are selling for $27 per share, the preferred shares are selling for $14.50 per share, and the bonds are selling for 99 percent of par.

Explanation / Answer

Total value of common stock=(6*27)=$162million

Total value of preferred stock=(4*14.5)=$58million

Total value of bonds=45000*(1000*99%)=$44.55million

Total value =$264.55million

Hence weight of debt=(44.55million/264.55million)

which is equal to

=16.84%(Approx).
