    This firm's debt-equity ratio is 0.54 or 54%

    Explanation:

    Debt-equity ratio = Total Debt / Total Equity = 0.37 / 0.69 = 0.54

    Profit Margin = Net Profit / Net sales

    10% = Net Profit / Net sales

    Consider Sales as $1

    Net Profit = 0.1 x 1 = 0.1

    Total Asset Turnover = Net Sales / Total Assets

    1.06 = 1 / total Asset

    Total Asset = 1.06 x 1 = 1.06

    Return on capital = Net Profit / Net Capital

    14.40% = 0.1 / Total Capital

    Total Capital = 0.1 / 0.144 = 0.69

    Total Assets = Capital + Liabilities

    1.06 = 0.69 + Total Liabilities

    Total Liabilities = 1.06 - 0.69 = 0.37
