0.0210

Explanation:

The computation of the weight of the preferred stock is shown below:

Particulars Shares Price Value (Shares * Price) Weight (Value : Total value)

Equity 10,800 $42 $4,53,600 0.4179

Preferred Stock 245 $93 $22,785 0.0210

Bonds 580 $1,050 $6,09,000 0.5611

Total value $1,085,385

for computing the weight we simply divide the value of the preferred stock with the total value
