The total face value of the first issue is $350,000, while the total face value of the second issue is $450,000. What is the capital structure weight of debt?
MV of equity=Price of equity*number of shares outstanding |
MV of equity=79*19500 |
=1540500 |
MV of Bond1=Par value*bonds outstanding*%age of par |
MV of Bond1=2000*175*0.965 |
=337750 |
MV of Bond2=Par value*bonds outstanding*%age of par |
MV of Bond2=1000*450*0.955 |
=429750 |
MV of firm = MV of Equity + MV of Bond1+ MV of Bond 2 |
=1540500+337750+429750 |
=2308000 |
Weight of debt = MV of Bond/MV of firm |
Weight of debt = 767500/2308000 |
W(D)=0.3325 |
