What weights should Jefferson use when computing the firm’s weighted average cost of capital

We should always prefer Market Value over Book Value

Weight of debt = (Short-term debt + Long-term debt)/Total Capital

= (1,221,000+11,927,000)/ 39,318,000 = 33.44%

Weight of Equity = Common Equity/ Total Capital

= 26,170,000/39,318,000 = 66.55%

Weights based on market value

Liabilities = 33.44%

Equity = 66.55%
