Answer:
0.69
Explanation:
From the question above on December 31, 2018 a company has an assets of $29 billion and stockholders equity of $22 billion.
On December 31, 2019 the same company recorded an assets of $55billion and stockholders equity of $17billion
Inorder to calculate the debt-to-assess ratio the first step is to find the amount of liabilities
Liabilities= Assets-Stockholders equity
Assets= $55 billion
Stockholders equity= $17 billion
= $55billion-$17billion
= $38 billion
Therefore, the debt-to-assets ratio can be calculated as follows
Debt-to-assets ratio= Total liabilities/Total Assets
= $38 billion/ $55 billion
= 0.69
Hence on December 31, 3019 the debt-to-assets ratio is 0.69
