Formula Section

Debt to asset ratio:

Debt to Asset Ratio = (Total Debt ÷ Total Assets) × 100

Debt to asset ratio (decimal):

Debt to Asset Ratio = Total Debt ÷ Total Assets

Total debt:

Total Debt = Short-Term Debt + Long-Term Debt

Total assets:

Total Assets = Current Assets + Fixed Assets + Other Assets

Equity (net assets):

Equity = Total Assets – Total Debt

Equity to asset ratio:

Equity to Asset Ratio = (Equity ÷ Total Assets) × 100

Debt to equity ratio:

Debt to Equity Ratio = Total Debt ÷ Equity

Leverage interpretation scale:

  • Below 30%: Low leverage (conservative)

  • 30% – 50%: Moderate leverage (balanced)

  • 50% – 70%: High leverage (aggressive)

  • Above 70%: Very high leverage (risky)

Where:

  • Total Debt = All short-term and long-term liabilities

  • Total Assets = All current, fixed, and other assets

  • Equity = Shareholders’ equity (assets minus liabilities)

  • Leverage = Use of debt to finance assets

Real-Life Examples Section

  • Example scenario:

    • Total debt: $500,000

    • Total assets: $1,000,000

    • Short-term debt: $150,000

    • Long-term debt: $350,000

    Calculations:

    • Debt to asset ratio: ($500,000 ÷ $1,000,000) × 100 = 50%

    • Debt to asset ratio (decimal): 0.50

    • Equity: $1,000,000 – $500,000 = $500,000

    • Equity to asset ratio: ($500,000 ÷ $1,000,000) × 100 = 50%

    • Debt to equity ratio: $500,000 ÷ $500,000 = 1.00

    • Leverage assessment: Moderate leverage
