Answer:

The company’s target debt-equity ratio is 1.16 : 1

Explanation:

Percentage flotation costs = 1 - (14100000/14100000 + 735000)

                                             = 1 - (14100000/14835000)

                                             = 4.95%

We know that:

(1 + Debt/Equity)*4.95%  = 0.071 + 0.031*(Debt/Equity)(Percentage flotation cost equation)

0.0495 + 0.0495*(Debt/Equity) = 0.071 + 0.031*(Debt / Equity)

0.049545*(Debt/Equity) - 0.031*(Debt/Equity) = 0.071 - 0.0495

0.018545*(Debt/Equity) = 0.021455

Debt/Equity = 0.021455/0.018545

Debt / Equity = 1.16 : 1

Therefore, The company’s target debt-equity ratio is 1.16 : 1
