Queen, Inc., has a total debt ratio of .30.
a. What is its debt-equity ratio?
b. What is its equity multiplier?
Total Debt Ratio = 0.30
Debt/Assets = 0.30
Assets/Debt = 1/0.30
Assets/Debt - 1 = 1/0.30 - 1
Equity/Debt = 2.33
Debt/Equity = 1/2.33 = 0.43
Equity Multiplier = Assets/Equity = Debt/Equity + 1
Equity Multiplier = 1 + 0.43 = 1.43
