Information provided:

Face value= $1,000

Coupon rate= 7%/2= 3.5%

Coupon payment= 0.035*1,000= $35

Time= 30 years*2= 60 semi-annual periods

Yield to maturity= 8.3%/2= 4.15%

Enter the below in a financial calculator to compute the present value:

FV= 1,000

PMT= 35

N= 60

I/Y= 4.15

Press the CPT key and PV to compute the present value.

The value obtained is 857.03.

Therefore, the current price of the bonds is $857.03,

Market value of equity= $37*3,000,000= $111,000,000.

Market value of debt= $857.03*110,000= $94,273,300.

Total firm value= $111,000,000 + $94,273,300

                               = $205,273,300.

Weight of debt in the capital structure=$94,273,300/ $205,273,300

                                                                          = 0.4593*100

                                                                          = 45.93.
