Debt to total assets, also known as simply debt ratio, is calculated by taking the total liabilities for the company divided by the total assets for the company; this information is found on the company’s balance sheet. This ratio determines the portion of debts a company has that are paid and financed through its debt. For Huffman Trucking the calculation would look like this for 2011: ($90,283+$71,365)/$267,265 = $161,648/$267,265 = 0.6048 or 60.48% (Huffman Trucking, 2013). Time interest earned, also known as interest coverage ratio, is calculated by taking the earnings before interest and tax and dividing it by interest expense; this information is found on the company’s income statement. This ratio determines the rate and ability in which the company is able to pay its debts off.

Since debt and equity levels are closely related there is an analysis called the “DuPont model” that systematically breaks ROE into components so that each can be evaluated. ROE = NI x EBT x EBIT x Sales x Total assets EBT EBIT Sales Total assets Common equity EBT = earnings before taxes. The first ratio measures the proportion of earnings before tax that is kept by the company. EBIT = earnings before interest and taxes. The second ratio measures the effect of interest; it indicates the proportion of earnings before interest and tax that is retained after paying interest.
