This is a measurement of how much suppliers, lenders, creditors and obligors have committed to the company versus what the shareholders have committed.<\/p>\r\n<p>It measures the amount of the total debt with respect to the total equity capital. A value of 1 on this ratio indicates an equal amount of debt and equity capital. Higher debt to equity (more than 1) indicates higher leverage and hence one needs to be careful. Lower than 1 indicates a relatively bigger equity base with respect to the debt.<\/p>\r\n<p>The formula to calculate Debt to Equity ratio is:<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 240px\"><strong>Debt Equity Ratio<\/strong> = [Total Debt\/Total Equity]<\/p>\r\n<p>Debt usually includes both long term &amp; Short term debt.<\/p>\r\n<p>Since Exide industries doesn&#8217;t have a long term debt on its books.

A low percentage means that the company is less dependent on leverage, i.e., money borrowed from and\/or owed to others. The lower the percentage, the less leverage a company is using and the stronger its equity position. In general, the higher the ratio, the more risk that company is considered to have taken on.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 240px\"><strong>Debt Ratio = <\/strong>Total Debt\/Total Assets<\/p>\r\n<p>The debt ratio gives users a quick measure of the amount of debt that the company has on its balance sheets compared to its assets. The more debt compared to assets a company has, which is signaled by a high debt ratio, the more leveraged it is and the riskier it is considered to be. Generally, large, well-established companies can push the liability component of their balance sheet structure to higher percentages without getting into trouble.<\/p>\r\n<p>In case of Britannia- the total debt we know is Rs.3319.53crs<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16304 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/debt-Britannia.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"681\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/debt-Britannia.png 681w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/debt-Britannia-300x166.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 681px) 100vw, 681px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>Total Assets is Rs.7416.01crs<\/p>\r\n<p>Thus Debt\/Total Asset= 3319.53\/7416.01= 0.44 0r 44%<\/p>\r\n<p>This means roughly about 44% of the assets held by Britannia is financed through debt capital and therefore 56% is financed by the owners.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id='text_slider_slide04' class='sa_hover_container' data-hash='Financial-Leverage-Ratio' style='padding:4.9% 4.7%; margin:0px 0%; background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); min-height:400px; '><h2 style=\"text-align: left\"><strong>11.3 Financial Leverage Ratio<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-51604 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Financial-Leverage-Ratio.png\" alt=\"Financial Leverage Ratio\" width=\"1039\" height=\"1021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Financial-Leverage-Ratio.png 1039w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Financial-Leverage-Ratio-300x295.png 300w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Financial-Leverage-Ratio-1024x1006.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Financial-Leverage-Ratio-768x755.png 768w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Financial-Leverage-Ratio-50x50.png 50w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Financial-Leverage-Ratio-100x98.png 100w, https:\/\/www.5paisa.com\/finschool\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Financial-Leverage-Ratio-150x147.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1039px) 100vw, 1039px\" \/><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>This ratio of the total assets to total equity.

The interest coverage ratio (also known as the times interest earned ratio) measures the firm&#8217;s ability to meet existing debt payments given the current level of earnings. The relevant measure of income for calculating the interest coverage is earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) since interest payments are themselves a tax-deductible expense.<\/p>\r\n<p>The lower the ratio, the more the company is burdened by debt expense.
