Two public corporations, First Engineering and Midwest Development, each show capitalization of $175 million in their annual reports. The balance sheet for First indicates total debt of $87 million, and that of Midwest indicates net worth of $62 million. Determine the D-E mix for each company.

What will be an ideal response?


First Engineering: D-E mix = 87/(175-87) = 87/88
Basically, a 50-50 D-E mix

Midwest Development: D-E mix = (175-62)/62 = 113/62
Approximately, a 65-35 D-E mix
