Answer 1

Solution:

The formula for calculating the total debt to total capital ratio

= Total Debt / Total Capital

= Total Debt / ( Total Debt + Common Equity )

As per the information given in the question we have

Total Debt = Notes Payable + Long – term bonds

= $ 6,000 + $ 9,000

= $ 15,000

Thus Total Debt = $ 15,000

Further as per the information given in the question we have

Common Equity = Common Stock + Retained Earnings

= $ 5,040 + $ 12,960

= $ 18,000

Thus Common Equity = $ 18,000

Thus we have

Total Debt = $ 15,000   ; Common Equity = $ 18,000

Applying the above information in the formula we have

= $ 15,000 / ( $ 15,000 + $ 18,000 )

= $ 15,000 / $ 33,000

= 0.454545

= 45.4545 %

= 45.45 % ( when rounded off to two decimal places )

Thus the total debt to total capital ratio = 45.45 %

The solution is Option a. 45.45 %
