On december 31, 2015, a company had assets of $16 billion and stockholders' equity of $8 billion. however it had assets of $20 billion and stockholders' equity of $9 billion as of december 31, 2016. during 2016, total sales revenue was $9 billion and total expenses was $7 billion. As Total asset is 20 billion and stockholders equity is 9 billion the liabilities are 11 billion. The Debt to Asset ratio = Liabilities / Assets = 11 Billion / 20 Billion =.55 (55%)
