Answer:

The equity weight is 69.84%

Explanation:

Value: C + P + B

Common Equity:

5,000,000 shares x 16 =   80,000,000

Preferred Equity:

4,000,000 shares x 25 = 100,000,000

Debt:

6,000 x 1,000 x 109/100 =   6,540,000‬

total value: 114,540,000

Common Equity weight: Common Stock / Value

80,000,000 / 114,540,000 = 0,6984459577440196 = 69.84%
