3. 5pt - Last year, firm ABC had $125,000 of assets (which equals total invested capital), $300,000 of sales, $20,000 of net income, and a debt-to-total-capital ratio of 37.5%. The new CFO believes that a new initiative will enable the company to reduce costs and thus raise net income to $30,000. The firm finances using only debt and common equity.
