How does Raising Debt Affect Equity Value

If you raise 100mm in cash through debt does Equity value go up by 100mm? If not then how do you explain the interview questions in the M&I guides that say when you use cash to purchase PPE Equity Value does not change. How do you differentiate between the cash in the business and what is raised from debt?
