    Paper Clip's Debt ratio is 0.25 or 25%

    Explanation:

    To calculate Debt ratio we need to find the value of Assets.

    Asset turnover = Net sales / Total Assets

    3 = $24,000,000 / Total Assets

    Total Assets = $24,000,000 / 3

    Total Assets = $8,000,000

    Assuming that the only Liability is $2,000,000 on which the interest been paid.

    Debt ratio = Total Debt / Total Equity

    Debt ratio = 2,000,000 / 8,000,000

    Debt ratio = 0.25 = 25%
