1cm=12km
1.5cm=?mk
The answer is 18, I quickly did this one in my head by finding half of 12 and adding it with 12, but the mathematical way to do it is to multiply 1.5 by 12.

The required debt-equity ratio is 14:15

Solution:

Given:

Liabilities of the company = $14000

Equity of the company = $15000

To calculate: The debt-equity ratio

Here, the liabilities are included in the debt of the company. The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is calculated by dividing a company's total liabilities by its shareholder equity. Therefore, the debt equity ratio is as follows,

$\text { Debt Equity ratio }=\frac{\text { Debt }}{\text { Equity }}=\frac{14000}{15000}=\frac{14}{15}$
