|
B. |

|
C. |

Answer is “paid down debt of $825,000”
Cash Flow from Assets = $1,650,000
Assuming no change in equity
Cash Flow to Stockholders = Dividends - Net New Equity
Cash Flow to Stockholders = $375,000 - $0
Cash Flow to Stockholders = $375,000
Cash Flow from Assets = Cash Flow to Creditors + Cash Flow to
Stockholders
$1,650,000 = Cash Flow to Creditors + $375,000
Cash Flow to Creditors = $1,275,000
Cash Flow to Creditors = Interest Expense - Net New Debt
$1,275,000 = $450,000 - Net New Debt
Net New Debt = -$825,000
Therefore, the company is most likely to paid down debt of $825,000
