Debt to Equity Ratio Formula
In a general sense, the ratio is simply debt divided by equity. However, what is classified as debt can differ depending on the interpretation used.
Thus, the ratio can take on a number of forms including:
- Debt / Equity
- Long-term Debt / Equity
- Total Liabilities / Equity
Where
Total liabilities – Total liabilities represent all of a company’s debt, including short-term and long-term debt, and other liabilities (e.g., loans, overdrafts, and deferred tax liabilities).
Shareholders’ equity – Shareholders’ equity is found in the balance sheet and includes amounts invested by the owners and any retained profits.
