Value of equity = Number of shares * market price per share
=5400000*64
=345600000
Value of Preferred stock = Number of shares * market price per share
=290000*103
=29870000
Value of bond = number of bonds * par value * quoted %
=125000*1000* 109%
=136250000
Total market value or long term financing =345600000+29870000+ 136250000
=511720000
share of common stock = value of common stock/total value
=345600000/511720000
