Expert Solution
Step 1
  • Debt Ratio is a solvency ratio which represent the proportion of Debt into the capital structure of the Business Entity.
  • If a Firm has higher debt in its capital structure then it is said to be more leveraged.
  • Debt Ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets.
  • Times Interest Earned Ratio is calculated by the Business Entity to check its ability to pay the Interest obligation.
  • If a Business Entity has Times Interest Earned Ratio = 9 times, it means it is able to pay Interest 9 times.
  • Times Interest Earned Ratio = Profit before Interest and Tax / Interest Expense
