Question

Given the following data for Vinyard Corporation:

D=1000
V=4000
E=3000
V=4000

Calculate the proportions of debt (D/V) and equity (E/V) for the firm that you would use for
estimating the weighted average cost of capital (WACC):

A. 40% debt and 60% equity
B. 50% debt and 50% equity
C. 25% debt and 75% equity
D. none of the given values

Answer 1

C

Step-by-step explanation:

D / V = 1000 / 4000

Dividing 1000 by 4000 gives 0.25 = 25%

E / V = 3000 / 4000

Dividing 3000 by 4000 gives 0.75 = 75%
