Answer:

$278,000

Explanation:

Data provided:

Total invested capital or assets = $695,000

Total debt to total capital ratio = 40%

now,

\frac{\textup{Total debt}}{\textup{Total capital}} = \frac{\textup{40}}{\textup{100}}

or

Total debt = 0.4 × Total capital

or

Total debt = 0.4 × $695,000

or

Total debt = $278,000

Hence,

The firm must borrow $278,000 to achieve the desired ratio
