Hero Manufacturing has 9 million shares of common stock outstanding. The current share price is $72 and the book value per share is $3. The company also has two bond issues outstanding.

(Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
