Answer:
option (b) $1,000,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Debt limit of the firm = $500,000
Tax rate = 30%
Total debt i.e weight of debt = 50% of capital
Now,
Debt break point = ( Amount of debt ) ÷ ( Weight of debt )
or
Debt break point = $500,000 ÷ 50%
or
Debt break point = $500,000 ÷ 0.50
or
Debt break point = $1,000,000
Hence,
the answer is option (b) $1,000,000
