(Percent rounded to 2 decimals.)
ANSWER: L = 0.39
How is this answer calculated?!
The value of the investment and the NPV are added together to give the value of total assets or total equity
Leverage ratio is the ratio of Total Debt to Total Assets
Investment | 127626 |
NPV | 37004.01 |
Total value of asset (Investment + NPV) | 164630.01 |
Debt | 63813 |
Leverage Ratio = Debt / Assets | 0.39 |
