FarCry Industries, a maker of telecommunications equipment, has 5 million shares of common stock outstanding, 2 million shares of preferred stock outstanding, and 20,000 bonds. Suppose the common shares are selling for $25 per share, the preferred shares are selling for $13.50 per share, and the bonds are selling for 97 percent of par. What would be the weight used for equity in the computation of FarCry’s WACC? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer :

Answer:

72.93%

Explanation:

The computation of weight used for equity is shown below:-

Value of common stock = common stock outstanding × sold common share

= 5,000,000 × $25

= $125,000,000

Value of preferred stock = preferred stock outstanding × sold preferred shares

2,000,000 × $13.50

= $27,000,000

So, Value of bonds = 20,000 × $1,000 × 0.97

= $19,400,000

Total = $125,000,000 + $27,000,000 + $19,400,000

= $171,400,000

Now, Weight of Equity = $125,000,000 ÷ $171,400,000

= 72.93%
