Calculation of amount of Debt and the equity:

It is given that the debt-to-equity ratio is 1.75 times, that means Debt / Equity = 1.75, or we can say Debt = 1.75 * Equity

It is also given that Total assets are $25 Million

We know that:

Debt + Equity = Total Assets

Hence we can say:

1.75 * Equity + Equity = 25 million

Equity * (1.75+1) = 25

Equity = 25/2.75 = 9.091 Million

And Debt = 1.75 * Equity = 1.75*25/2.75 = 15.909 Million

Hence their assets are financed with the debt of $15.909 Million and how much with equity of $9.091 Million.
