Answer:
Debt = 83.19%
Equity = 16.81%
Explanation:
Given that
Market value of the equity = $4 billion
Market value of debt = $19.8 billion
Total firm capital would be
= Market value of the equity + Market value of the debt
= $4 billion + $19.8 billion
= $23.8 billion
So, the weightage of debt would be
= Market value of debt ÷ Total firm capital
= $19.8 billion ÷ $23.8 billion
= 83.19%
And, the weightage of equity is
= Market value of equity ÷ Total firm capital
= $4 billion ÷ $23.8 billion
= 16.81%
