A finance manager in an outlet raised ₹3.5 crore through a mix of debt and equity in a ratio of 4 : 3 to open a new outlet, but the actual amount required was ₹3 crore. The aim of the finance manager is to maximize the shareholder's wealth. Keeping this in mind, he reinvested the excess amount of ₹50 lakh in a fixed deposit carrying 6% interest p.a. while the cost of capital is 10% p.a.

Finance manager raised ______ through owner's fund and ______ through borrowed fund.

Options:

₹15,00,000, ₹20,00,000

₹20,00,000, ₹15,00,000

₹1,50,00,000, ₹2,00,00,000

₹2,00,00,000, ₹1,50,00,000

Correct Answer:

₹1,50,00,000, ₹2,00,00,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → ₹1,50,00,000, ₹2,00,00,000.

The finance manager raised ₹3.5 crore through a mix of debt and equity in a ratio of 4:3.

Debt amount = (4/7) × ₹3.5 crore = ₹2 crore (₹2,00,00,000)

Equity amount = (3/7) × ₹3.5 crore = ₹1.5 crore (₹1,50,00,000)

Therefore, the finance manager raised:

  • ₹2,00,00,000 through borrowed funds (debt) and
  • ₹1,50,00,000 through owner's funds (equity).
