Answer 1

Answer:

18.52%

Explanation:

Calculation for the what would be the equity weight

Using this formula

Equity weight =E÷E+P+D

Let plug in the formula

Equity weight=$2,000,000×$27÷$2,000,000×$27+$1,000,000×$14.50+$10,000×.98×$1,000

Equity weight=$14,500,000÷$78,300,000

Equity weight=.1852×100

Equity weight=18.52%

Therefore what would be the equity weight is 18.52%
