    Answer:a. Capital structure weights in book value

    Debt weight = Total debt in book value divided by total debt and equity in book value.

    $ 100m/$120m=83.3333

    Equity weight = Total equity in book value divided by total debt and equity in book value.

    $ 20m/$120m = 16.6667

    b. Capital structure weights in market value.

    Debt weight, is total debit at market value divided by total value of debt and equity in market value

    $ 98.6m/$378.6m=26.0433

    Equity weight is total equity at market value divided by total of debt and equity at market value.

    $280m/$378.6m = 73.9567

    C. The market value is more relevant in relation to the continuous existence of the firm it's the basis that determines is performance, share premium etc however the book value is more relevant on liquidation because it's the value at which the equity and debt holders are settled.
