    Book value weight of equity is 0.2007

    Book value weight of debt is 0.7993

    Market value weight of equity is 0.6883

    Market value weight of debt is 0.3117

    Explanation:

    The book value of the two bonds=$115 million+$100 million=$215 million

    The book value of equity = 6 million * $9=$54 million

    weight of debt=$215 / ($215+$54) = 0.7993

    weight of equity=$54 / ($215+$54) = 0.2007

    Market value approach:

    market value of equity=6 million*$78=$468 million

    market of the first bond=$115 million*93%=$106.95 million

    market value of the second bond=$100 million*105%=$105 million

    total market value of bonds=$106.95 million+$105 million=$ 211.95 million

    weight of debt=$211.95 / ($211.95+$468) = 0.3117

    weight of equity=$468 / ($211.95+$468) = 0.6883
