The answer to this question is as follows:
Firm's Debt Ratio = Total Debt of the firm / Total assets of the firm
Step 1 : Calculation of Total Debt of the firm:
Look for the debt or liabilities in the balance sheet:
Lets Calculate the value the Accounts Payable:
Accounts Payable = Total Liabilities & Equity - Long term debt - Common stock - Retained Earnings
= 6,200,000 - 1,900,000 - 680,000 - 3,190,000
= 430,000
Total Debt of the firm = Long term debt + Accounts Payable
= 1,900,000 + 430,000
= 2,330,000
Step 2 : Calculation of Total Assets of the firm:
Total assets of the firm includes both current assets and fixed assets. As the value of total assets is given in the balance sheet i.e. 6,200,000 , therefore we don't need to find out the value of accounts receivables.
Total Assets of firm = 6,200,000
Step 3 : Calculation of Firm's Debt Ratio :
Firm's Debt Ratio = Total Debt of the firm / Total assets of the firm
= 2,330,000 / 6,200,000
= 0.3758 or 37.58 %
Therefore correct answer is second option i.e. 37.58%
