Step 1

Answer a:-

* Total assets = Current assets + non current assets = 54 + 58 = $112m

* Debt ratio = Total debt / Total assets

0.45 = Total debt / 112

= $50.4m which includes short term bank notes as well as long term bonds

Stockholders' equity = total assets - total debt

= 112 - 50.4 = $61.6m

* 60% of 50.4 = $30.24m is short term bank notes

40% of 50.4 = $20.16m is long term bonds

The balance sheet will appear as follows:-

Current assets $54m
Non current assets 58
Total assets $112m
Current liabilities $30.24m
Long term liabilities 20.16
Total debt 50.4
Stockholders' equity 61.6
Total liabilities & equity $112m

Step 2

Answer b:-

* Interest on current liabilities = 5% of 30.24 = 1.51

* Interest on non current debt = 7% of 20.16 = 1.41

The company's income statement will appear as follows:

EBIT (A) $10.4m  
Interest on current liabilities 1.51  
Interest on non current debt 1.41  
Total interest (B)   2.92
Earnings before taxes (A - B)   7.48
Income taxes @35%   2.62
Net income   $4.86m

Step 3

Answer C

= 4.86 / 61.6

= 7.89%
