KPI Metrics 10. Debt to Equity Ratio Explanation

Slide Content

The slide explains the debt to equity ratio, a financial metric that measures a company's financial leverage by comparing its total liabilities to its shareholders' equity. It includes sections for current liabilities such as accounts payable, notes payable, accrued expenses, and taxes payable, and long-term liabilities including long-term debt and other non-current liabilities. Shareholder’s equity is detailed with common stock, additional paid-in capital, and retained earnings. The total liabilities and shareholder's equity are calculated, leading to a debt to equity ratio of 1.17.
