market value of debt = bonds outstanding * market price per bond
market value of preferred stock = shares outstanding * market price per share
market value of common stock = shares outstanding * market price per share
total market value = market value of debt + market value of preferred stock + market value of common stock
weight of debt = market value of debt / total market value
weight of preferred stock = market value of preferred stock / total market value
weight of common stock = market value of common stock / total market value
