44.66%

Explanation:

First, find the market values of each source of capital;

Market value of Common stock = 11500 * $49 = $563,500

Market value of Preferred stock = 280 * $91 = $25,480

Market value of bonds = 310 * (1.085 * $2000) = $672,700

Next, find the total market value;

=$563,500 + $25,480 + $672,700

= $1,261,680

Weight of common stock = $563,500/$1,261,680 = 0.4466 or 44.66%
