    Explanation:

    For computing the weight, first we have to determine the total market value which is shown below:

    = Number of outstanding bonds * selling price per bond + number of preferred stock * market price per share + number of common stock * par value per share

    = 650 bonds * $1,007 + 2,100 shares * $68 + 42,000 shares * $44

    = $654,550 + $142,800 + $1,848,000

    = $2,645,350

    Now the weight of preferred stock would be

    = Total value of preferred stock : total market value * 100

    = $142,800 : $2,645,350 * 100

    = 5.40%
