Answer:

a. 0.42

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What would be its weight on debt?

First step is to calculate the Total firm capital

Total firm capital= $2.3 + $1 + $2.2

Total firm capital= 5.50 million.

Now let determine the weight on debt using this formula

Weight on debt= Debt in the firm/ Total firm capital

Let plug in the formula

Weight on debt = $2.3 million/ 5.50 million

Weight on debt = 0.4182.

Weight on debt=0.42 (Approximately)

Therefore What would be its weight on debt is 0.42
