a firm has a debt-equity ratio of 1.46.What is the total debt ratio?
0.59
0.46
0.77
0.68
Solution
The firm has a debt-equity ratio of 1.46
Formula of Debt Equity ration is Total Debt/Total Equity
It implies if total debt is $146, then total equity is $100
So total assets must be $246.(Because Total assets= Total Debt+Total Equity)
So Total Debt ratio= Total Debt/Total Assets
= $146/$246
=0.59
So Option A is the correct answer
