Problem 19-03 Balance Sheet Effects Two companies, Energen and Hastings Corporation, began operations with identical balance sheets. A year later, both required additional fixed assets at a cost of $75,000. Energen obtained a 5-year, $75,000 loan at a 9% interest rate from its bank, Hastings, on the other hand, decided to lease the required $75,000 capacity for 5 years, and a 9% return was built into the lease. The balance sheet for each company, before the asset increases, follows: Current assets$25,000 Fixed assets Total assets Debt Equity Total claims $150,000 $50,000 125,000 100,000 $150,000 a. Show the balance sheets for both firms after the asset increases, and calculate each firm's new debt ratio. (Assume that the lease is not capitalized.) Round the debt ratios to the nearest whole percentage Energen Balance Sheet (owns new assets) Current assets $ Fixed assets Total assets Debt Equity Total claims$ Debt ratio Hastings Corporation Balance Sheet (Leases as operating lease) Current assets $ Fixed assets Total assets Debt Equity Total claims Debt ratio b. Show how Hastings's balance sheet would look immediately after the financing if it capitalized the lease.
