Hie John..
My question is from BBP kit question 205
It says
average debt/debt plus equity ratio of 25%
And their answer is
If Vd/(Vd + Ve) = 0.25 then Vd = 0.25 and Ve = 0.75. So Ve/(Ve + Vd) = 0.75/1 = 0.75.
I am getting vd 0.75 , ve 0.25
Vd/(vd+ ve)=0.25
Vd=0.25(vd+ve)
Vd-0.25vd=0.25ve
0.75vd =0.25ve
Can you kindly explain how I am getting all this wrong

Multiply both sides of your last line by 4, and you get 3Vd = Ve.
Therefore Ve/(Ve + Vd) = 3Vd / (3Vd + Vd) = 3Vd / 4Vd = 0.75.
I do think it easier anyway to do what I do in my lectures rather than using the ratios themselves.
Thank you so much.
