    Total assets $

    Building 102,100

    Motor vehicle 19,907

    Furniture 10.442

    Total assets 132,449

    Total liabilities $

    Mortgage loan 58,347

    Outstanding loan 2,567

    Utility bills unpaid 242

    Total liabilities 61,156

    Debt ratio = Total liabilities x 100

    Total assets

    Debt ratio = $61,156 x 100

    $132,449

    Debt ratio = 46.17%

    Explanation:

    In this case, there is need to calculate the total assets, which is the aggregate of building, motor vehicle and furniture.

    We also need to calculate the total liabilities, which is the aggregate of mortgage loan, car loan outstanding and utility bills unpaid.

    Debt ratio is obtained by dividing total liabilities by total assets multiplied by 100.
