The bonds have a par value of $2,000 each and sell at 113 percent of par. The company also has 6,900 shares of preferred stock outstanding at a price of $56 per share. What is the capital structure weight of the debt?
Debt:
Number of bonds outstanding = 960
Face Value = $2,000
Current Price = 113% * $2,000
Current Price = $2,260
Market Value of Debt = 960 * $2,260
Market Value of Debt = $2,169,600
Preferred Stock:
Number of shares outstanding = 6,900
Current Price = $56
Market Value of Preferred Stock = 6,900 * $56
Market Value of Preferred Stock = $386,400
Common Stock:
Number of shares outstanding = 8,000
Current Price = $103
Market Value of Common Stock = 8,000 * $103
Market Value of Common Stock = $824,000
Market Value of Firm = Market Value of Debt + Market Value of
Preferred Stock + Market Value of Common Stock
Market Value of Firm = $2,169,600 + $386,400 + $824,000
Market Value of Firm = $3,380,000
Weight of Debt = $2,169,600 / $3,380,000
Weight of Debt = 0.6419
