The debt to equity ratio measures

  • A.how much cash the firm holds
  • B.how far the firm is financed by borrowing
  • C.how quickly the firm collects its receivables
  • D.how profitable the firm's operations are

Answer: B

Correct answer: how far the firm is financed by borrowing

Debt to equity is the gearing measure, comparing what has been borrowed with what the owners have put in. High gearing magnifies the return to the owners when things go well and magnifies the loss when they do not, and it is the fixed interest obligation that makes the difference dangerous.
