Answer:

Debt-equity ratio = 0.34 or 34%

Explanation:

Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) = 12.7%

Cost of debt = 4.8%

Cost of equity = 15.4%

Let 'We' and 'Wd' be the fraction of capital corresponding to equities and costs, respectively, and that We + Wd =1.

The weighted average cost of capital is given by

WAAC = 0.154*W_e +0.048W_d\\0.127 = 0.154*W_e +0.048*(1-W_e)\\0.079 = 0.106W_e\\W_e=0.745\\W_d = 1-0.745=0.255

The debt-equity ratio is:

DER = \frac{W_d}{W_e}=\frac{0.255}{0.745}\\DER =0.34

The Sheffield Brick Company has borrowed from the Admire county bank which means the note payable is a liability in the books of the Sheffield Brick company. As liability is increased or recorded, it is credited. The amount of liability is $614000 on the day of the issuance of note. Thus, Sheffield will credit Note payable by $614000.

The Sheffield company has received cash by signing note. As cash is an asset and it is increasing, the Sheffield company will debit cash by 614000 against the notes payable.
