To determine

To analyze: The impact of each transaction on debt to assets ratio.

Explanation of Solution

Debt to assets ratio: Debt to assets ratio is used to evaluate the relationship between the total liabilities and total assets of the company. Debt to equity ratio helps the company to determine the proportion of debt and assets. When the ratio is greater than 1, then it is higher and thus, company faces higher risk.

Debt to assets ratio is calculated by using the following formula:

Debt to assets ratio = Total liabilitesTotal assets

Show the impact of each transaction on debt to assets ratio.
