Answer:
Company must add $178,000 more debt to achieve the target debt ratio
Explanation:
Debt to asset ratio = (Total outstanding liabilty / Total Assets) x 100
Current Debt to asset ratio = (185,000 / 660,000) x 100 = 28%
Target debt to asset ratio = 55%
According to given condition
55% = Total outstanding debt / 660,000
Total outstanding debt = 660,000 x 55%
Total outstanding debt = $363,000
Additional debt for taget debt to assets ratio = $363,000 - 185,000
Additional debt for taget debt to assets ratio = $178,000
