LotsofDebt, Inc. finances its $50 million in assets with $40 million in debt and $10 million in equity. LotsofEquity, Inc. finances its $50 million in assets with $10 million in debt and $40 million in equity. What are the debt ratio, equity multiplier, and debt-to-equity ratio for the two firms?


    A. LotsofDebt: 80%, 5 times, 4 times, respectively and LotsofEquity: 20%, 1.25 times, 25 times, respectively

    Debt ratio is debt/assets.
    Equity multiplier is assets/equity.
    Debt to equity is debt/equity.

    Just some plug n chug.
