From the following, calculate (a) Debt to Equity Ratio; (b) Total Assets to Debt Ratio; and (c) Proprietary Ratio:

Equity Share Capital75,000Debentures 75,000
Preference Share Capital 25,000Trade Payable 40,000
General Reserve45,000Outstanding Expenses 10,000
Balance in Statement of Profit and Loss30,000  

SOLUTION

Debt to Equity Ratio = Long term Debts / Shareholders’ Funds
Debt to Equity Ratio = Debentures
Equity = Share Capital + Preference Share Capital + General Reserve + Balance in Statement of Profit & Loss

Debt to Equity Ratio = 75,000 + 75,000 + 25,000 + 45,000 + 30,000
= 0.43: 1

Total Assets to Debt Ratio = Total Assets / Long term Debts
Total Assets to Debt Ratio = Equity Share Capital + Preference Share Capital + General Reserve + Balance in Statement of Profit & Loss / Debentures Trade Payables + Outstanding Expenses


Debentures Total Assets to Debt Ratio = 75,000 + 25,000 + 45,000 + 30,000 + 75,000 + 40,000 + 10,000 / 75,000
= 4: 1

Proprietary Ratio = Shareholders’ Funds / Total Assets
Proprietary Ratio = Equity Share Capital + Preference Share Capital + General Reserve + Balance in Statement of Profit & Loss / Equity Share Capital + Preference Share Capital + General Reserve + Balance in Statement of Profit & Loss + Debentures + Trade Payables + Outstanding Expenses

Proprietary Ratio = 75,000 + 25,000 + 45,000 + 30,000 / 75,000 + 25,000 + 45,000 + 30,000 + 75,000 + 40,000 + 10,000
= 0.58: 1 or 58.33%
