Answer:

0.69

Explanation:

From the question above on December 31, 2018 a company has an assets of $29 billion and stockholders equity of $22 billion.

On December 31, 2019 the same company recorded an assets of $55billion and stockholders equity of $17billion

Inorder to calculate the debt-to-assess ratio the first step is to find the amount of liabilities

Liabilities= Assets-Stockholders equity

Assets= $55 billion

Stockholders equity= $17 billion

= $55billion-$17billion

= $38 billion

Therefore, the debt-to-assets ratio can be calculated as follows

Debt-to-assets ratio= Total liabilities/Total Assets

= $38 billion/ $55 billion

= 0.69

Hence on December 31, 3019 the debt-to-assets ratio is 0.69
