    Weight to total capital

    equity 9.31%

    debt 90.69%

    Explanation:

    Book Values

    Common Stock = $5 x 6 million = $30 million

    Bonds outstanding

    Assuming it first year after issuance of both bonds.

    First bond = $145 million

    Discount on bond = $145 million x (100% - 95%) = $7.25 million

    Un-amortized Discount = $7.25 x (24-1) / 24 = $6.95 million

    Book value = $145 million - $6.95 million = $138.05

    Second bond = $130 million

    Premium on bond = $145 million x (107% - 100%) = $10.15 million

    Un-amortized Discount = $10.15 x (9-1) / 9 = $9.02 million

    Book value = $145 million + $9.02 million = $154.02

    Total value of debt = $138.05 million + $154.02 million = $292.07 million

    Total Capital = $30 million + $292.07 million = $322.07 million

    Capital Structure weight

    Equity = $30 / $322.07 = 0.0931 = 9.31%

    Debt = $292.07 / $322.07 = 0.9069 = 90.69%
