    Weight of the common stock = 45%

    Explanation:

    WACC is the average cost of a company long-term sources of finance. Each source is weighted according to the proportion of its market value to the total market value of the pool of funds.

    To calculate the weighted of the common stock, we will follow the steps

    below:

    Step 1

    Calculate the total market value of all the sources of fund

    Market value of common stock

    Bonds = $990 * 1,200 = $ 1,188,000

    Preferred Stock = $28 * 2500 = $70,000

    Common stock = $37 * 28,000 = $1,036,000

    Total market value = 1,188,000 + 70,000 + 1,036,000

    $2,294,000.00

    Step 2

    Calculate the weight of common stock

    Weight of the common stock = ($1,036,000 / $2,294,000.00) * 100

    = 45%

    Weight of the common stock = 45%
