Thanks for invitation,

EV = Common Shares + Preferred Shares + Market Value of Debt + Minority Interest – Cash and Equivalents.

Enterprise valuation for financing the company depends upon the strategy of the management and also the interest rates trend in the market. Cost of equity is always higher than that of the debt, as the shareholders are the one who are facing more risk than the debt holders. In times of low interest rates in the market organization will likely go for the debt in comparison to the higher interest rates.
