Problem #6: Debt/Equity Capital and WACC
Two companies, McDonalds and Burger King, each show a capitalization of $175,000,000 in their annual reports. The balance sheet for McDonalds indicates a total debt of $87 million, and that of Burger King indicates a net worth of $62 million. Determine the D-E mix for each company.
For McDonals
Debt = $ 87,000,000
Cap = $175,000,000
Equity = cap - Debt = $88,000,000
For Burger King
Net worth (equity) = $62,000,000
Cap = $175,000,000
Debt = cap - equity = $113,000,000
