a ...4223

Explanation:

Kim's Bridal shoppe has common stock, bonds and preferred stock in its capital. To identify capital structure weight of common stock we calculate value of each capital.

Common Stock : 10200 shares * $36 = $367,200

Preferred Stock : 215 shares * $87 = $18,705

Bonds Outstanding : 520 Bonds * $1,000 * 93% of par = $483,600

Total capital : $367,200 + $18,705 + $483600 = 869,505

Common stock share : $367,200 / $869,505 = 0.4223
