Answer:

Debt ratio

94.16%

5.84%

Equity multiplier

17.13%

1.06%

Explanation:

The debt ratio can be calculated as follows

Lots of debt incorporation= total liability/total assets.

= 32.25/34.25

= 0.9416×100

= 94.16%

Lots of equity incorporation= 2.00/34.25

= 0.05839 × 100

= 5.84%

The eqiuty multiplier can be calculated as follows

Lots of debt incorporation= equity/multiplier

= 34.25/2.00

= 17.13%

Lots of equity incorporation= equity/multiplier

= 34.25/32.25

= 1.06%
