Question 1: The Goscape Corporation currently has no debt outstanding. Sunny Gevaert, the CFO, is considering restructuring the company by issuing $500,000 debt with a 6% interest rate and using the proceeds to repurchase outstanding equity. The total market value of Goscape's assets are worth $2,000,000 and there are 50,000 shares outstanding. 1.1. Ignore the corporate tax rate, calculate and fill in the values in the following table.

Give your opinion about the Debt- Equity Ratio and the cost of equity if there is the higher leverage and vice versa.
