a.  0.7467 and 0.2534

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

The capital structure is a combination of the both debt and equity where debt is the cheapest source while the equity is the expensive source and the risk and return is high in case of equity as compared with the debt

a)

Company's capital structure weight on the basis of Book Value Weight :

Debt = (face value of first issue + face value of second issue)÷ (face value of first issue + (face value of second issue + year × share value)

= ($90+$75) ÷ ($90+$75+7×$8)

= 0.7467

Equity = 1 - Debt

= 1 - 0.7467

= 0.2534

b)

Company's capital structure weight on the basis of Market Value Weight :

Debt = (face value of first issue × % sale +face value of second issue × sale %) ÷ (face value of first issue × % sale +face value of second issue × sale% + year × current share price)

= ($90× 98%+$75× 110%) ÷ ($90× 98%+$75× 110%+7×$73)

= 0.2504

Equity = 1 - debt

= 1 - 0.2504

= 0.7495
