Book Value Weights:

Equity = 45.24(7.8*5.8) Million =

Debt1 = 71.8, Debt2 = 36.8 , Total Debt = 71.8 + 36.8 = 108.6 Million

Weights = Equity = 29.41, debt= 70.59

Market Value weights:

Equity = 7.8*62.80 = 489.84 million'

Debt1 = 71.8 * 89 % = 63.90, Debt2 = 36.8*88%=32.38. Total debt = 96.28

Weights: Equity = 83.57, dEbt = 16.43
