Answer:

B. 37.5% of debt and 62.5% of equity

Explanation:

debt equity ratio = debt (d) /equity (e)

Given that d/e ratio = 0.6

debt is 0.6 times equity then => equity = 0.6 debt

0.6 = debt/equity

0.6 = debt /0.6 debt

equity = 1

the weights of debt and equity =

            equity = 1/1+0.6 * 100

                        = 62.5 %

            debt    = 0.6/1+0.6 * 100

                        = 37.5%
