Answer:

The answer is C. 62.50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of common share: 10,000,000 x 25 = $250,000,000;

The value of preferred stock = 5,000,000 x 12.5 = $62,500,000;

The value of bond = 1,000,000 *100 * 97% = $97,000,000;

Total capital value = The value of common share + The value of preferred stock + The value of bond = 250,000,000 + 62,500,000 + 97,000,000 = $409,500,000.

=> The weight used for equity in the computation of Sports' WACC = 250,000,000/409,500,000 = 62.50%.

So, the answer is C. 62.50%.
