A firm has 12,000 shares of common stock outstanding with a book value of $20 per share and a market value of $39. There are 5,000 shares of preferred stock with a book value of $22 and a market value of $26. There is a $400,000 face value bond issue outstanding that is selling at 87% of par. What weight should be placed on the preferred stock when computing the firm's WACC?
Please show all work
we have to use Market value of Components in capital Structure to Calculate Weights in WACC
1. Value of Common Stock = Shares o/s * Market Value = 12000 * 39 = $468000
Value of Preferred Stock = Shares o/s * Market Value = 5000 * 26 = $130000
Value of Debt = Face Value * Market % = 400000 * 87% = 348000
Total Value of Company = Value of Equity + value of Preferred + value of Debt
Total Value of Company = 468000 + 130000 + 348000
Total Value of Company = 946000
2. Weight of Preferred Stock = Market Value of Preferred Stock / Value of Company
Weight of Preferred Stock = 130000 / 946000
Weight of Preferred Stock = 13.74%
