    The split of Debt/Equity in Dec2015 exam question 1 was:

    Assumptions and notes:
    1 Debt/Equity 100·0%

    The solution shows 1/2 each. Is this not then 50% each. I think the question was misleading though.

    Please assist what is the explanation of this split in 1/2 each if the question detail was:
    Debt/Equity 100%.

    Please help.

    Debt/Equity of 25% would mean something like Debt = 40, equity = 160. This is not the same as Debt/Total capital which would be 40/(40 + 160).

    Therefore D/E 100% means 1:1

    50% = something like Debt = 150, equity = 300.
