    Explanation:

    First, find the market value of debt (bonds in this case);

    market value of debt = price of bond * number of bonds

    = $1,000 * 1,500 = $1,500,000

    First, find the market value of common stock;

    market value of common stock = price per share * number of stock outstanding

    = $26 * 36,000 = $936,000

    Since debt and equity make up KHD company's capital,

    total capital = market value of debt + market value of common stock

    = $1,500,000 + $936,000

    = $2,436,000

    Weight of the common stock = market value of common stock / total capital value;

    = $936,000 / $2,436,000

    = 0.3842 or 38.42% as a percentage

    Therefore, What is the weight of the common stock is 38.42%
