    Equity = 87,000*39 = 3,393,000

    Debt issue 1 = 230,000*1.031 = 237,130

    Debt issue 2 = 5000*887 = 4,435,000

    Total debt = 4,435,000+237,130 = 4,672,130

    Total capital = 4,672,130 + 3,393,000 = 8,065,130

    Capital structure weight of the firm's debt = 4,672,130/8,065,130 = 0.5793
