please advise the capital structure for question 5

Bonds
$1,100
Preferred stock
250
Common stock

these amounts were on the bottom of the last question. The last question (9a)ends with "what is the firm's weighted cost of capital?
How would I have known ?
my mistake
Don't worry about it
Something is wrong
The capital structure that you just posted is it for Shelby or Memphis? (5 or 10?)
There are 2 problems that should have the capital structures listed, please check
if you have the assignment in a file it might be a better idea to upload it to www.mediafire.com
Thanks

let me know if your not able to get this. thank you
There is missing information for one of those problems, you would need to email the instructor and ask him where are the capital structures for questions 5 & 10.
I am done with the solutions and can provide them using the same capital structure if you want me to
I am 90% sure the structure will be used for both questions. I will email the instructor however the likelihood of receiving a response today in not high.
please proceed using the same structure.
I am done already :)

I put the assignment in here so that you can look and give me your opinion before a transfer more funds out. This is due Tuesday and needs both a word dock and excel. I can move your summary to word later for proper formatting.
I accepted the answer, added a tip, and left positive feedback. This is the next assignment. If you are willing to do this let me know and I will post tonight. There is one stock valuation and a investment question. The two are not related. thank you
