The tax rate is 40%. There are 100,000 shares of stock outstanding with a par value of $20 per share. The per share stock price is $25. What should be the approximate debt ratio for this firm?
Debt:
Market Value of Debt = $1,100,000
Equity:
Number of shares outstanding = 100,000
Current Price per share = $25
Market Value of Equity = Number of shares outstanding * Current
Price per share
Market Value of Equity = 100,000 * $25
Market Value of Equity = $2,500,000
Market Value of Firm = Market Value of Debt + Market Value of
Equity
Market Value of Firm = $1,100,000 + $2,500,000
Market Value of Firm = $3,600,000
Debt Ratio = Market Value of Debt / Market Value of Firm
Debt Ratio = $1,100,000 / $3,600,000
Debt Ratio = 30.56%
