(A) Debt ratio = 0.32
Debt/(debt + equity)= 0.32
Debt = 0.32 *Debt + 0.32 *Equity
0.68* Debt = 0.32* Equity
Debt = 0.32*Equity/0.68 = 0.32/0.68 * Equity
Debt /equity ratio = (0.32/068*Equity)/Equity
Debt/Equity ratio = 0.32/0.68 = 0.47
Debt-equity ratio = 0.47 (Rounded to 2 decimals)
(B) Equity multiplier = 1 + debt -equity = 1+0.47 = 1.47
Equity multiplier = 1.47 (Rounded to 2 decimals)

Answer:
a. $750
b. $750
Explanation:
The first thing to do is calculate the monthly interest as follows:
Monthly interest = Total interest ÷ 12 = $4,500 ÷ 12 = $375
The rent for two months in year 0 (November and December) = $375 × 2 = $750.
Prepaid expenses (January to October of year 1) = $4,500 - $750 = $3,750.
Decision:
Prepaid expenses is not deductible under either cash accounting method or accrual accounting method for tax purposes.
Therefore, Jaxon can deduct only $750 two months (November and December) relevant for year 0 under both cash accounting method and accrual accounting method.
The prepaid expenses of $3,750 is not deductible in year 0 but can only be deducted in year 1.
