1a You now need to calculate the cost of debt for Tesla. Consider the following four bonds issued by Tesla: What is the weighted average cost of debt for Tesla using the book value weights and the market value weights? Does it make a difference in this case if you use book value weights or market value weights? 04/20/2020

Why is my book value weights and market value weights percentage the same amount but the total is different? Did I input the formula wrong? Please help
