Total Value of the store = 900000
So, we know that Total value of store = Debt + Equity
So, Debt = Total Value - equity
= 900000-375000
= 525000

=525000/900000
= 0.58333
which is 58.333% of Debt in the corporation
Corporation Leverage Factor = Total Debt / Total Equity
Debt =525000
Equity = 375000
