Answer:

y =( -1/2 )x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

first step is to determine the slope of the line ( which is the rise over the run) or symbolically slope is defined as m= ∆x / ∆y, so plugging those values we get...

m= ∆x / ∆y = (-1 - 0) / (4 - 2) = -1 / 2

so next is to find the zero( y-intercept) of the function by ....

y = mx + b

y = ( -1/2)x + b (since m is equal to -1/2)

2 = ( -1/2)0 + b

2= b

A company has $14,000 in liabilities and $15,000 in equity. Calculate the company's debt to equity ratio as a percentage.

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,

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