When writing your assignment, assume you are the CFO of Hankins Corporation. Given the key financial data below, perform a detailed and thorough financial analysis (show and explain all calculations) that includes the following:

A) Describe the firm’s market value capital structure:

. What is the market value for each type of financing used by the firm: equity, preferred stock, and debt?

. What is the total market value for Hankins Corporation?

. What are the respective market value weights for each component of the firm’s financing (equity, preferred stock, and debt)?

B)If the firm is evaluating a new investment project that has the same risk as the firm’s typical project, what rate should the firm use to discount the project’s cash flows? Hint: the firm’s WACC is the appropriate discount rate. Compute Hankins’ WACC:
