2009 |
|
Total Asset |
422,300 |
448,750 |
Equity |
240,050 |
273,550 |
Group of answer choices
0.69 and 1.77
0.64 and 1.64
0.74 and 1.89
0.54 and 1.39
0.59 and 1.51
Total assets=Total liabilities+Total equity
Total debt=448,750-273,550
=$175200
Debt-equity ratio=Total debt/Total equity
=175200/273,550
=0.64(Approx)
Equity multiplier=Total assets/equity
=448,750/273,550
=1.64(Approx)
Hence the correct option is:
0.64 and 1.64
