    Determining asset level at which a company needs to issue additional stock
    Hi there,
    I am not sure how to go about solving this problem:

    A firm has $25 million in assets and its optimal capital structure is 60% equity. If the firm has $14 million in retained earnings, at what asset level will the firm need to issue additional stock? (Assume no growth in retained earnings.)

    I won't list the possible answers because I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with a correct formula so that I can solve for myself? Thanks in advance for your time!
