    Market value of common stocks (15,000 x $11) 165,000

    Market value of preferred stocks (2,000 x $34) 68,000

    Market value of bonds (50 x $960) 48,000

    Market value of the firm 281,000

    The capital structure weight of common stocks

    = $165,000/$281,000 x 100

    = 58.72%

    Explanation:

    In this case, there is need to determine the market value of the company, which is the aggregate of market value of common stocks, market value of preferred stocks and market value of bonds. The capital structure weight of common stocks is the ratio of market value of common stocks to market value of the company multiplied by 100.
