    B.

    1.14

    C.

    1.50

    D.

    0.91

    How to approach this question

    Calculate debt-to-equity ratio as total debt (current liabilities + long-term debt) divided by total stockholders' equity (all equity components including AOCI).

    Full Answer

    A.1.10✓ Correct
    1.10
    The debt-to-equity ratio measures financial leverage by comparing total debt to total equity. Total debt = $400,000 + $1,200,000 = $1,600,000. Total equity = $800,000 + $600,000 + $50,000 = $1,450,000. Ratio = $1,600,000 ÷ $1,450,000 = 1.10. This indicates $1.10 of debt for every $1.00 of equity.

    Common mistakes

    Using only long-term debt instead of total debt, omitting AOCI from equity, inverting the ratio, or calculation errors
