Beranek Corp has $695,000 of assets (which equal total invested capital), and it uses no debt - it is financed only with common

equity. The new CFO wants to employ enough debt to raise the total debt to total capital ratio to 40%, using the proceeds from borrowing to buy back common stock at its book value. How much must the firm borrow to achieve the target debt ratio?

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

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

66.67%
