Calculation: total liabilities / shareholders' equity
Measures management's reliance on creditor financing as well as the business's indebtedness compared to the amount invested by its owners. This ratio indicates the amount of liabilities the business has for every dollar of shareholders' equity. Because this ratio is a good indicator of a business's capacity to repay its creditors, it is considered very important by most term lenders.
