Interview Question : Capital Increase - Financial Statements

Hi guys,

In an M&A interview, I was asked the following question, => 100 of capital increase, financed 50% debt and 50% equity : What is the effect of this increase on the financial statements? Go first on the Income statement, then the Cash flow statement and finally on the Balance sheet.

Do you have a clear and sharp answer to that question please?

Thanks,
