Santana Rey has consulted with her local banker and is considering financing an expansion of her business by obtaining a long-term bank loan. Selected account balances at March 31, 2018, for Business Solutions follow. Total assets $121,768 Total liabilities $860 Total equity $120,908 Required: 1. The bank has offered a long-term secured note to Business Solutions. The bank’s loan procedures require that a client’s debt-to-equity ratio not exceed 0.75. As of March 31, 2018, what is the maximum amount that Business Solutions could borrow from this bank? (Round your intermediate calculations to the nearest dollar amount.) 2. Assume Business Solutions borrows the maximum amount allowed from the bank. (a) What percentage of assets would be financed by debt? (Round your intermediate dollar values to the nearest whole number and final answer to 1 decimal place.) (b) What percentage of assets would be financed by equity? (Round your intermediate dollar values to the nearest whole number and final answer to 1 decimal place.)
The maximum debt the company can owe is 0.75. debt should not be greater than 0.75
So the Total equity = 120908,
Maximum amount of debt the company can owe is $120908*0.75 = $90681
Liabilities already owed = $860
Total amount the company can borrow is $90681-$860 = $89821
if a company has borrowed the amount of $89821, it means company is getting the cash, current asset of $89821/ then the total assets will be $89821(cash)+$121768(given) = $211589
Percentage of assets financed by liabilities:
$90681/$211589 = 42.86%
(b) What percentage of assets would be financed by equity?
Percentage of equity would be same and remains unchanged. Percentages must be equal to 100%, so the answer will be 100%-42.86% = 57.14%
