Market value of common stock= 6,000,000*$17

                                                           = $102,000,000

Market value of preference shares= 5,000,000*$16

                                                                  = $80,000,000

Price of bond= 1,000 *108%= $1,080

Market value of debt= 7,000*$1,080

                                        = $7,560,000

Total firm value= $102,000,000 + $80,000,000 + $7,560,000

                               = $189,560,000

Market weight of preferred stock= $80,000,000/ $189,560,000*100

                                                                = 0.4220*100

                                                                = 42.20%.
