I am getting an error for my formula for WACC. What am I doing wrong here?

I also

need a clarification from one of the tutors here. I am getting different TOTAL DEBT answer from adding the actual numbers depicting millions vs. shortcut millions (see below). I cannot ask the tutor anymore because my comments were turned off which i dont know why.

Value of Debt = 4696.40

Weight of Debt = 21.16%

Explanation:

Short Term Borrowings = 560

Current Portion of Long Term Debt = 83.5

Long Term Debt = 4052.9

Total Debt = 560 + 83.5 + 4052.9 = 4696.40 million (???)

Market Value of Equity = 17500 million

Weight of Debt = 4696.40 / (17500 + 4696.4) = 21.16%
