The required debt-equity ratio is 14:15
<u>Solution:</u>
<em>Given:</em>
Liabilities of the company = $14000
Equity of the company = $15000
<em>To calculate: </em>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,
The debt-equity ratio reflects the ability of shareholder equity to cover all outstanding debts in the event of a business downturn.
Answer:
b Superscript positive
Step-by-step explanation:
Negative exponents in the denominators can be evaluated by moving the function from the denominator to the numerator and changing the power from negative to the positive.
We have
1/b⁻² = b²
Moving the function with a power from denominator to numerator or from numerator to denominator changes the sign of the power. It is not equal to zero.
This is the property of exponents.
The answer would be 1.5 when rounded.
Division is repeated subtraction, just like multiplication is repeated addition. If you divide 50 by 10, you get 5. This is also the question: How many times do you have to subtract 10 from 50 to get 0?
