Debt–equity ratio
Assume the company’s tax rate is 38 percent. What is the
debt–equity ratio? (Do not round intermediate calculations
and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g.,
32.16.)
Debt–equity ratio
The value of the firm is the value of the debt plus the value of the equity. We can use this relationship to find the value of equity in each case. So, the debt–equity ratio with no taxes is:
V = E + D
$76,000,000 = E + $35,000,000
E = $41,000,000
Debt–equity ratio = $35,000,000 / $41,000,000
Debt–equity ratio = 0.85
With taxes, the value of the firm is:
VL = VU + TCD
VL = $76,000,000 + 0.38($35,000,000)
VL = $89,300,000
With taxes, the equity becomes:
V = E + D
$89,300,000 = E + $35,000,000
E = $54,300,000
Debt–equity ratio = $35,000,000 / $54,300,000
Debt–equity ratio = 0.64
