Equity beginning balance = 9,750,000
Long-term notes (beginning balance) = 3,125,000
Long-term lease finance obligations = 1,500,000
.
Equity Ending balance = 9,750,000 + 2,800,000 = 12,550,000
Long-term notes Ending balance = 3,125,000 - 1,725,000 = 1,400,000
Long-term lease finance obligations = 1,500,000 + 450,000 = 1,950,000
So, Total Equity = 12,550,000
Total Debt = (1,400,000 + 1,950,000) = 3,350,000
Debt/ (Debt + Equity) = 3,350,000 / (3,350,000 + 12,550,000)
Debt/ (Debt + Equity) = 0.21 or 21%
Debt/ (Debt + Equity) = 21%
