    The debt ratio is calculated by dividing the Total Liabilities by Total Assets. We are asked to calculate the debt ratio at the end of the year, hence we need to take year-end values for Total Liabilities and Total Assets.

    We are given the Total Liabilities at the beginning of the year $175,000 and there is no change in the liabilities given, hence we can say that Total liabilities at the end of the year shall remain same = $175,000

    We are given Total Assets at the end of the year are $260,000

    Debt ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets = 175000/260000 = 0.673

    Hence debt ratio at the end of the current year shall be 0.673
