Explanation / Answer

(a)

Book value of shares = 5.70*7.7 = 43.89 Million

Book value of bond = 71.3 + 36.7 = 108.4 Million

Total book value = 152.29 Million

Book value weight of equity = 43.89/152.29 = 0.2882

Book value weight of debt = 1-0.2882 = 0.7118

(b)

Market value of shares: 62.7*7.7 = 482.79 Million

Market value of bonds = 0.895 *71.7 +0.885*36.7 = 96.651 Million

Total = 579.441 Million

Market value weight of equity = 482.79/579.441 = 0.8332

Market value weight of bond = 1-0.8332 = 0.1668
