Answer: Option (D) is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
The debt to equity ratio is determined by dividing the company's total liabilities by its share holders equity. It is also as financial leverage ratio. This ratio represents a company with a degree of financial risk associated with it.
Higher debt to equity ratio represents that company with a higher risk to shareholder.
When we are comparing the leverage ratio of all the four companies, it was found that Jackson, Inc. company has the greatest financial risk which is represented by its debt to equity ratio of 1.50.
