    The firm's capital structure weight for debt is 18.29%

    Explanation:

    Common stock outstanding = 7 million shares

    Outstanding bonds = 50,000 bonds

    Calculating Value of Equity,

    Total Equity = 7 million * $30 = $210 million

    Calculating Value of Debt,

    Total Debt = 50,000 * 1,000 * 0.94 = $47 million

    Weight of Debt = 47 million : (210 + 47) million

    Weight of Debt = 18.29%
