Two companies, Energen and Hastings Corporation, began operations with identical balance sheets. A year later, both required additional fixed assets at a cost of $25,000. Energen obtained a 5-year, $25,000 loan at a 9% interest rate from its bank. Hastings, on the other hand, decided to lease the required $25,000 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		Debt	$ 50,000
Fixed assets	125,000		Equity	100,000
Total assets	$150,000		Total claims	$150,000

1. Show the balance sheets for both firms after the asset increases, and calculate each firm's new debt ratio assuming that the lease is not capitalized. Round the monetary values to the nearest dollar and percentage values to the nearest whole number.
