Answer:
a. what is Suncoast's current debt ratio?
debt ratio = liabilities / equity = $400,000 / $600,000 = 0.67
b. what would the new debt ratio be if the machine were leased? if it is purchased?
if X-ray machine is leased, debt ratio = $400,000 / $600,000 = 0.67
if X-ray machine is purchased, debt ratio = $600,000 / $600,000 = 1
c. is the financial risk of the business different under the two acquisition alternatives?
yes, because a higher debt ratio means that the company is under a higher financial stress since it has more outstanding loans, which increases the financial risk.
