Answer:

E) Heidee would have the lower net income as shown on the income statement.

Explanation:

Heidee and Leaudy have the same Earning Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT).

They both also have the same interest rate paid on debt.

So if Heidee uses more of their debt than Leaudy it means they will incur more interest payment on debt.

This will result in less income for the company.

On the other hand Leaudy uses less debt so their interest expense is low and income is higher.

Heidee would have the lower net income as shown on the income statement.
