    Total debt ratio is the ratio of total debt to total assets

    i. e

    Total debt ratio = Total debt / Total assets

    But Total assets is nothing but total equity plus total debt

    Now let us consider,

    TD = Total debt

    TE = Total equity

    TA = Total assets

    Therefore,

    Total debt ratio = TD/TA

    But as mentioned above

    TA = TD + TE

    total debt ratio = Total debt / (total debt+total equity)

    total debt ratio =.34 (given)

    .34 = TD / (TD + TE)

    Solving this equation yields:

    0.34 = 1 / (1 + TE/TD)

    0.34 (1+TE/TD) = 1

    0.34 + 0.34TE/TD = 1

    .34 (TE/TD) = 1 - 0.34

    0.34 (TE/TD) = 0.66

    0.34TE = 0.66TD

    Now, Debt equity ratio is the ratio of Total debt to total equity

    Debt-equity ratio = TD / TE

    Debt-equity ratio = 0.34 / 0.66

    Debt-equity ratio = 0.51515152
