OMG Inc. has 6 million shares of common stock outstanding, 5 million shares of preferred stock outstanding, and 7,000 bonds. Suppose the common shares sell for $17 per share, the preferred shares sell for $16 per share, and the bonds sell for 108 percent of par. What weight should you use for preferred stock in the computation of OMG’s WACC? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Market value of common stock= 6,000,000*$17
= $102,000,000
Market value of preference shares= 5,000,000*$16
= $80,000,000
Price of bond= 1,000 *108%= $1,080
Market value of debt= 7,000*$1,080
= $7,560,000
Total firm value= $102,000,000 + $80,000,000 + $7,560,000
= $189,560,000
Market weight of preferred stock= $80,000,000/ $189,560,000*100
= 0.4220*100
= 42.20%.
