    The correct answer is B, $178,000. Meyer's current debt to capital ratio is 28 percent. This figure is arrived at by dividing total debt outstanding by total invested capital. In order to achieve the target debt to capital ratio of 55%, Meyer must add $178,000 of debt so that his total debt comes to $363,000.
