At the end of the current year, James company reported total liabilities of $302,000 in total equity of $102,000. The companies debt ratio was:
74.8%
Debt ratio = total liabilities/total assets
$302,000/$404,000 =0.748 = 74.8%
Total assets = total liabilities + total equity
Total assets = $302,000 + $102,000 =$404,000
At the beginning of the current year, Snell Company’s total assets were $248,000 and its total liabilities were $174,200. During the year, the company reported total revenues of $93,000, total expenses of $76,000 and owner withdrawals of $5,000. There were no other changes in owner’s capital during the year and total assets at the end of the year were $260,000. The company’s debt ratio at the end of the current year is:
Debt Ratio = Total Liabilities/Total Assets
Debt Ratio = $174,200**/$260,000; Debt Ratio = 0.67 = 67%
*Beginning Total Assets = Beginning Total Liabilities + Beginning Total Equity
$248,000 = $174,200 + Beginning Total Equity; Beginning Total Equity = $73,800
**Ending Total Assets = Ending Total Liabilities + Ending Total Equity
$260,000 = Ending Total Liabilities + (Beginning Equity + Revenues − Expenses − Withdrawals)
$260,000 = Ending Total Liabilities + ($73,800 + $93,000 − $76,000 − $5,000)
$260,000 = Ending Total Liabilities + $85,800; Ending Total Liabilities = $174,200
