Any debt and preferred stock that a firm issues are rightfully obligations of the entire firm. Why do we use market-based weights instead of book-value weights when computing the WAAC? Because we're interested in determining what the cost of financing the firm's assets would be given today's market situation and the component costs the firm currently faces.
