The Debt to Equity ratio (also called the “debt-equity ratio”, “risk ratio”, or
“gearing”), is a leverage ratio that calculates the weight of total debt and
financial liabilities against total shareholders’ equity.
Formula
Short formula:
Debt to Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Shareholders’ Equity
Long formula:
Debt to Equity Ratio = (short term debt + long term debt + fixed payment
obligations) / Shareholders’ Equity
IDEAL RATIO
The ideal debt to equity ratio is 2:1. This means that the debt be more than
twice the equity because it becomes riskier to pay back and hence there is a
fear of bankruptcy.
