Liabilities to Assets Ratio: less than 1.0

Liabilities to Shareholders’ Equity Ratio: equal to 1.0

Long-Term Debt to Long-Term Capital Ratio: less than 1.0

Long-Term Debt to Shareholders’ Equity Ratio: less than 1.0

    2. (2) The firm issued short-term debt and used the cash proceeds to redeem long-term debt (treat as a unified transaction).
