Acid test ratio is also known as Quick ratio. It highlights the short term liquidity and solvency of the company. Basically, only liquid current assets are considered for calculation of this ratio.
Debt ratio is a financial ratio that depicts the leverage position i.e. it shows the total debt proportion to the total assets.
Equity ratio measures the total equity proportion to the total assets i.e. how much is the contribution of equity shareholders in total assets.
To calculate:
