Answer #1

Value of Equity = Number of Shares(Stock Price)

Value of equity = 1,602,462(35) = $56,086,170

Value of Debt = Number of Bond(Bond Price)

Value of Debt = (14,293)(1,000*0.968) = $13,835,624

Weight of Debt = (13,835,624)/(13,835,624 + 56,086,170)

Weight of Debt = 0.198

Weight of Debt = 19.8%
