1)
Market value of common stock = 6,100,000 * 75 = 457,500,000
Market value of preferred stock = 210,000 * 81 = 17,010,000
Market value of bonds = 95,000 * (1.05 * 1,000) = 99,750,000
Total market value = 457,500,000 + 17,010,000 + 99,750,000 = 574,260,000
Weight of common stock = 457,500,000 / 574,260,000 = 0.7967
Weight of preferred stock = 17,010,000 / 574,260,000 = 0.0296
Weight of bonds = 99,750,000 / 574,260,000 = 0.1737
2)
Coupon = (0.051 * 1000) / 2 =25.5
Number of periods = 15 * 2 = 30
Price = 1.05 * 1000 = 1050
YTM = 4.6338%

Preferred dividend = 0.034 * 100 = 3.4
Cost of preferred stock = (Preferred dividend / price)* 100
Cost of preferred stock = (3.4 / 81)* 100
Cost of preferred stock = 4.1975%
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + beta (market risk premium)
Cost of equity = 2.8% + 1.05 (6.8%)
Cost of equity = 9.94%
WACC = 0.7967*0.0994 + 0.0296*0.041975 + 0.1737*0.046338*(1 - 0.21)
WACC = 0.079192 + 0.001242 + 0.006359
WACC = 0.0868 or 8.68%
Rate should the firm should use is 8.68%
