Answer:

Market value of common stocks = 12,100 x $55 = $665,500

Market value of preferred stock = 310 x $91       = $28,210

Market value of bonds                = 370 x $2,230 = $825,100

Market value of the company                                   $1,518,810

Capital structure weight of preferred stocks

= $28,210/$1,518,810

= 0.0186

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

In this question, we need to calculate the market value of the company, which is the aggregate of market value of equity, market value of preferred stocks and market value of bond. The capital structure weight of preferred stock is the ratio of market value of preferred stock to market value of the company.
