A linear probability model you have developed finds there are two factors influencing the past bankruptcy behavior of firms: the debt-to-equity ratio and the sales-to-total assets ratio. Based on past bankruptcy experience, the linear probability model is estimated as:
PDi = 0.45 (debt/equity) + 0.01 (sales/total assets)
A firm you are thinking of lending to has a sales-to-assets ratio of 1.9 and its expected probability of default, or bankruptcy, is estimated to be 7 percent. Calculate the firm's debt-to-assets ratio.
A) 11.33 percent
B) 10.18 percent
C) 89.82 percent
