a) Falco Inc. is considering a debt issue and is trying to determine the appropriate amount to issue. Considering the information in the table below, indicate which amount borrowed you believe to be the optimal level of debt and explain completely why.

b) Part of our discussion about the optimal capital structure problem considered a set of equivalent problems (and one additional problem that was not equivalent) that could be solved and analyzed using graphical solutions. Graphically demonstrate the optimal level of debt using the information from the table above. If you are unable to using graphing because of technical issues related to remote learning, please describe each of the problems verbally.
