Answer :

Answer:

56.50%

Explanation:

Calculation for the capital structure weight of the firm's equity

Using this formula

Capital structure weight of the firm's equity =

1/(1+Debt equity ratio)

Let plug in the formula

Capital structure weight of the firm's equity =

1/(1+0.77)

Capital structure weight of the firm's equity = 1/1.77

Capital structure weight of the firm's equity = 0.5650*100

Capital structure weight of the firm's equity = 56.50%

Therefore Capital structure weight of the firm's equity will be 56.50%
