Answer 1

The debt to equity ratio is 0.64.

Step-by-step explanation:

The debt to equity ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Debt to equity ratio = Total Liabilities / Stockholders' Equity ……………………. (1)

Where:

Total Liabilities = $91,000

Stockholders' Equity = $142,000

Substitute the relevant data into equation (1), we have:

Debt to equity ratio = $91,000 / $142,000 = 0.64

Therefore, the debt to equity ratio is 0.64.
