Answer:

Both the metric system and the US monetary system are based on the system of tens.

Explanation:

The metric system is based on the meter, which is divided into 100 centimeters, while the US monetary system is based on the dollar that is divided into 100 cents.

Generally speaking all Americans and most US organizations use the Imperial System (along with Liberia and Myanmar), while the rest of the world uses the metric system. But some American organizations use the metric system also, like the military and many financial institutions, specially those that export or trade with commodities.

What s really intriguing about this, is that the metric system is the official measuring system of the US since 1866, but it hasn't been massively applied yet.

Answer:

new equity $ 1,425,000

new debt $ 950,000

Explanation:

retained earnings

300,000 x (6.25 - 3) = 975.000

If debt is 0.4 of assets then by deifinition:

assets = liab+ equity

1 = 4 + equity

equity = 0.6 (60%)

<u>Retained Earnings breakpoint</u>

975,000 / 0.6 = 1,625,000‬

The company can riase capital expenditured for 1,625,000 and mantaining his capital structure.

As the company need 4,000,000 it will need to raise more capital as it surpass the retained earnings breakpoint.

4,000,000 - 1,625,000 = 2,375,000

2,375,000 x 0.6 = 1,425,000 new equity

2,375,000 x 0.4 = 950,000 new debt
