SOLVENCY RATIOS

Debt ratio for Walgreens = Total Liabilities / Total assets

Debt ratio for Walgreens 2018 = $68,124 / $68,124 = 1

Debt ratio for CVS 2017 = $95,131 / $95,131 = 1

What do the results of this ratio mean in the context of Walgreens? How about CVS? Compare the two - why are they different (be as specific as possible).
