Solution
(1) Debt Equity Ratio = `"Long Term Debt"/"Shareholder’s Fund"`
Shareholder’s Fund
Long term debt = Debentures = Rs. 3,00,000
Shareholder’s Fund = Eq. share capital +Pref. Shares capital + Reserves & surplus
= 2,50,000 ÷ 2,00,000 + 1,50,000
= Rs. 6,00,000
Debt Equity Ratio = `300000/600000` = 0.5:1
(2) Proprietary ratio = `"Shareholder's Fund"/"Total Assets"`
Total Assets = Rs. 12,00,000
Proprietary ratio = `600000/1200000` = 0.5:1
(3) Capital Gearing ratio = `"Funds bearing fixed interest (or) Fixed divided"/"Equity shareholder’s Fund"`
Funds bearing fixed interest (or) fixed dividend
= Pref. Share Cap + Debentures
= 2,00,000 + 3,00,000 = Rs. 5,00,000
Equity share holder’s Fund
= Equity Share cap + Reserves & Surplus
= 2,50,000 + 1,50,000
= Rs. 4,00,000
Capital gearing ratio = `500000/400000` = 1.25:1
