Good day, I’m just wondering how the figure for Value of equity and Value of Debt was reached in example 3 chapter 16.
it say gearing ratio is 0.2. I thought this essentially meant that you could use equity as 80 and debt as 20. but the example stipulates that those values are 100 and 20 respectively.
I think I am missing something
Thank you

The example says that the ratio of debt to equity is 0.2.
So the debt/equity must equal 0.2. i.e. for every 100 equity, the debt must be 0.2 x 100 = 20.
(If you use 80 and 20, then the ratio is 20/80 which does not equal 0.2 🙂 )
