(a) What are the companyas capital structure weights on a book value basis? (Round your answers to 4 decimal places) What are the companyas capital structure weights on a market value basis? (Round your answers to 4 decimal places)Explanation / Answer
1. Book value of equity = $4.2 * 6,200,000 = $26,040,000
Book value of debt = $70,200,000+$35,200,000 = $105,400,000
Total book value = $26,040,000+$105,400,000 = $131,440,000
Book value weight Equity = $26,040,000/ $131,440,000 = 0.1982
Book value weight debt = $105,400,000 / $131,440,000 = 0.8018
2. Market value of equity = $61.2 * 6,200,000 = $379,440,000
Market value of debt = $70,200,000*0.97+$35,200,000*0.96 = $68,094,000+$33,792,000 = $101,886,000
Total Market value = $379,440,000+$101,886,000 = $481,326,000
Market value weight Equity = $379,440,000/ $481,326,000 = 0.7883
Market value weight debt =$101,886,000 / $481,326,000 = 0.2117
