41.73%

Explanation:

The solution of the capital structure weight of the common stock is provided below:-

To reach the capital structure weight of the common stock we need to find out the total of capital base and issue value of common stock is here below:-

Total of Capital Base = Value of Common stock on issue + Value of preferred stock on issue + Value of Bond on issue (after discount)

= (3,067 * $17) + (510 * $21) + 64 * ($1,000 * 97%)

= $52,139 + $10,710 + 64 * $970

= $52,139 + $10,710 + $62,080

= $124,929

Issue on Value of Common Stock = 3,067 * $17

= $52,139

Capital structure weight of the common stock = Issue on Value of Common Stock : Total of Capital Base

= $52,139 : $124,929

= 41.73%

Therefore, we put the values to find out the Capital structure weight of the common stock.
