    a. The company's capital structure weights on a book value basis is that the Equity/Value is 0.1584 and the Debt/Value is 0.8416

    b. tTe company's capital structure weights on a market value basis is that the Equity/Value is 0.7257 and the Debt/Value is 0.2743

    Explanation:

    a. According to the given data we have the following:

    Book Value of first bond = $135 million

    Book Value of second bond = $120 million

    Book Value of shares = 8*6 = 48

    Therefore, in order to calculate the company's capital structure weights on a book value basis we would have to make the following calculations:

    Weight of equity = 48 / ($135+$120+48) = 0.1584

    Weight of debt = ($135+$120) / ($135+$120+48) = 0.8416

    b. In order to calculate the companyâs capital structure weights on a market value basis, we would have to calculate first the Market Value of first bond and the Book Value of second bond as follows

    Market Value of first bond = $135*93% = $125.55 millions

    Book Value of second bond = $120 * 102% = $122.4 millions

    Market Value of shares = 8*82 = 656

    Therefore, Weight of equity = 656 / (656 + 125.55 + 122.4) = 0.7257

    Weight of debt = (125.55+122.4) / (656 + 125.55 + 122.4)) = 0.2743
