    To find the weight, calculate the market values of each;

    Market value = price * number of outstanding ...

    Market value of common stock = $50 * 7,500,000 = $375,000,000

    Market value of preferred stock = $45*280,000 = $12,600,000

    Market value of debt = 1.3067 * $1,000 * 180,000 = $235,206,000

    Total market value = $622,806,000

    Next, use the above market values to calculate each weight;

    Weight of common stock = $375,000,000 / $622,806,000 = 0.6021 or 60.21%

    Weight of preferred stock = $12,600,000 / $622,806,000 = 0.0202 or 2.02%

    Weight of debt = $235,206,000 / $622,806,000 = 0.3777 or 37.77%
