| dlo1 | If the weighting of debt in the capital structure is based on the total market value of debt in the firm, then the number of bonds x current par value per bond is an inaccurate estimate of this weighting. The firm's debt is unlikely to be trading at par. |
| todolist | Bonds are unlikely to be trading at par, therefore calculating mkt value of debt at par is inaccurate. |
Thanks again for your wonderful site ... it definitely made the difference.
