I'm a little lost with this assignment. Can anyone complete it?

Instructions NAME: To complete the homework assignments in the templates provided: 1. The question is provided for each problem. You may need to refer to your textbook for additional information in a few cases. 2. You will enter the required information into the shaded cells. 3. The cells are coded: a) T requires a text answer. Essay questions require references; use the textbook. b) C requires a calculation, using Excel formulas or functions. You cannot perform the operation on a calculator and then type the answer in the cell. You will enter the calculation in the cell, and only the final answer will show in the cell. I will be able to review your calculation and correct, if necessary. c) F requires a number only. In some problems, a \"Step 1\" is added to help you solve the problem. d) Formula requires a written formula, not the numbers. For example, the rate of return = [(1 + nominal)/ (1+inflation)]-1, or D (debt) + E (equity) = V (value). 4. Name your assignment file as "lastnamefirstinitial-FINC600-Week#", and submit by midnight ET, Day 7. Problem 9-2 A company is 40% financed by risk-free debt.
