    b. $150,500

    Explanation:

    debit/capital = $185000/$610000

    = 30%

    target debt is 55%

    debt/capital = 0.55

    let the new debt be Y

    Y/$610,000 = 0.55

    Y = $335,500

    excess debt need by company = $335500 - $185000

    = $150500

    Therefore, The debt that the company must add to achieve the target debt to capital ratio is $150500.
