A firm has a total debt ratio of .50.
What is its (TOTAL LIABILITIES / TOTAL EQUITY) ratio?
Total debt ratio=Total debt/Total assets
Total debt=0.5*Total assets
Total assets=debt+equity
equity=Total assets-0.5*Total assets
=0.5*Total assets
Hence total liabilities/total equity ratio=Total liabilities/Total equity
=(0.5*Total assets)/(0.5*Total assets)
=1
