Consequently, the firm's CFO has initiated a cost of capital study by one of his senior financial analysts, Jim Tipolli. Jim's first action was to contact the firm's investment banker to get input on current capital costs. Jim learned that, although the firm's current debt capital required an 8% coupon rate of interest (with annual interest payments and no principal repayments until 2025), the current yield on similar debt would decline to 7% if the form were to raise debt funds today. When he asked about beta for Compano, Jim was told to assume a beta of 1.15 for Compano's levered equity beta. Required: What are Compano's capital structure weights for debt and equity that should be used to compute its cost of capital?
