    Question 1 had an EVA calculation and the debt:equity ratio was 100%. The examiner says many people got this wrong. Dos this mean ratio of 1:1?

    Yes.

    If debt were 400k and equity 1000k, the D/E ratio would be 0.4 or 40%

    So, 100% means 1:1

    Because 100% D/E means 1:1 ie half debt, half equity in the capital makeup.
