Explanation / Answer

a) Total Assets (given) - Total Liabilities (given) = Total Stockholders' Equity

$246,118,606-$146,603,223= $99,515,383

Leverage= 2.7

New stock issued = $10,000,000

Total Stockholders' Equity (above) - New stock issued (above) = Old Stock

$99,515,313 - $10,000,000= $89,5151,313

Total Assets / Total Stockholders' Equity = Leverage

246,118,606/ 99,515,383= 2.47

Therefore, None of the statements are true.

b) Suppose the Digby company expands to other markets with good designs, high awareness and easy accessibility, what strategy would they be implementing?
