Calculation of the weights of debt & equity based on market values:-

Particulars		Amount
Market value of bonds	85,000 bonds * $ 789.23	$ 67,084,550
Market value of equity	4,300,000 * $ 58	$ 249,400,000
Total value of firm	$ 316,484,550

a) weight of debt :-

Weight of debt = market value of debt / total value of firm = $ 67,084,550 / 316,484,550 = 0.21296785

Weight of debt = 0.21

B) weight of equity:-

Weight of equity = 249,400,000 / 316,484,550 = 0.788032149

Weight of equity = 0.79

C) calculation of discounting rate :-

The best discount rate to evaluvate the project is at WACC rate.

calculation of WACC:-

cost of debt after tax = YTM * ( 1 - tax rate) = 9% * ( 1 - 0.35)

Cost of debt after tax = 5.85%

Cost of equity = Rf + beta * market risk premium

= 5% + 0.90 * 7%

Cost of equity = 11.3%

WACC = weight of debt * cost of debt after tax + weight of equity * cost of eauity

= 0.21 * 5.85% + 0.79 * 11.3%

WACC = 10.1555%

Discount rate = WACC = 10.1555%
