hello everyone welcome to the channel of Wallstreetmojo today we are going to
[14]
discuss on the tutorial of debt ratio the debt ratio as you can see in this
[20]
yellow box debt ratio is one of the most used solvency ratio by the investors
[26]
so let's directly jump on the debt ratio formula it is one of the most used
[30]
solvency ratio by the investor and it's pretty easy to calculate to let's have a
[34]
look at the formula of the debt ratio and get into the nitty-gritty now the
[39]
debt ratio formula is very simple actually the debt ratio is equal to the
[45]
total liabilities divided by the the total asset it is as simple as that so
[54]
basically we are comparing as you can see the total liability in assets all
[60]
you need to do is to look at the balance sheet and find out where a firm has
[63]
enough total assets to pay off its total liability if you go in the explanation
[67]
part of the debt ratio formula for investors the financial statement are
[70]
everything they look at all for statements and make their judgments one
[74]
of the most important financial statement is balance sheet by looking at
[77]
the balance sheet the investors are able to know what's working for a come in
[81]
what's need to be improved so two of the most important items on the balance
[85]
sheets are assets and liabilities by looking at the total assets and total
[88]
liabilities investors are able to understand with the form enough
[91]
assets to pay off the liabilities and that's exactly what we call as debt
[95]
ratio see by using this ratio we calculate the proportionally total
[99]
assets and total liabilities and by looking at them we get to know the
[102]
stands of the company at any stage so what is the use of the debt ratio
[106]
formula let's look at that this ratio is useful for two groups of people the
[109]
first group is a top management of the company
[111]
who's directly responsible for the expansion or contraction of a company by
[115]
using this ratio the top management sees whether the company has enough resources
[118]
to pay off its obligation the second group is the investors who would like to
[123]
see the position of the company before they ever put in the money into the
[127]
company and that's why the investors needs to know whether the form has
[129]
enough assets to bear the expense of the debt and other obligations
[133]
so this ratio also measures the financial leverage of the company and it
[138]
also tells us the investors how leverage the form is if the form has a higher
[142]
level of liability is compared to the assets then the form has more financial
[146]
leverage and vice versa the case okay so now let's look at the example of the
[151]
debt ratio formula let's take a very practical example to illustrate this
[154]
ratio boom company has the following details that we are going to discuss
[161]
here the current asset non-current asset details are I'm just trying to push the
[168]
details over here the current liabilities then we have the non current
[173]
liabilities I'm just writing live over here so this are all the details okay
[180]
and let's put the amount this is the particulars and this are the amounts in
[186]
dollars ok now the current assets is close enough to 30 thousand then we have
[194]
the non current assets as close enough to 3 lakh dollars current liability
[200]
let's take as 40,000 and non current liabilities as $70,000 everything is in
[206]
dollars now find out the debt ratio of boom company this is we are discussing
[210]
for boom company okay in the above example we can see that we
[215]
need to total the current and non-current assets and also the current
[219]
liabilities and non current liabilities so the total assets are current assets
[223]
+ non current assets so the current assets and the non current assets is 30000
[230]
+ 3 lakh that is 3 lakh 30000 okay so I'm just quickly going
[236]
to write over here as is equal to 30000 + 3 lakh so that's the total
[243]
of the total assets are current and non-current now the total liabilities
[249]
are current liabilities and non current liabilities so let's make the total
[255]
40,000 + 70,000 that's 1 lakh 10000 okay so this are the two details okay
[263]
now the debt ratio formula is the total liability
[267]
/ the total asset so what is the total liability over here as you can see one
[274]
lakh ten okay so our final answer is going to be is equal to the total
[281]
liabilities divided by the the total assets that is three lakh thirty so our
[289]
debt ratio comes to 0.3333 okay
[294]
the ratio of the boom company is close enough to 0.33 so to
[297]
know whether the disproportion between the total liabilities and total asset is
[300]
healthy or not we need to see the similar companies under the same
[304]
industry if the ratio of those companies also in the similar range it means boom
[307]
company is doing quite well in the normal situation as lower as this ratio
[311]
can be better as in terms of the investment in solvency the debt ratio in
[316]
terms of Excel with template you know we can take a look at that and this is very
[321]
simple I mean you need to provide the two inputs of total liabilities in total
[324]
asset and you can easily calculate the ratio in the template as you can see in
[329]
this particular template whatever we have calculated in our excel sheet is
[333]
over here you can see the current assets non current the total assets three lakh
[337]
thirty again the current liabilities non-current liabilities forty plus
[341]
seventy one hundred and one like ten thousand so the total asset total
[345]
liabilities and total asset which gives us the debt ratio for the boom company
[349]
now basically you can use this debt ratio calculator to calculate your debt
[354]
ratio okay so let's put our total liability as 2 lakh and a total asset
[361]
as 1 lakh so that gives us our debt ratio formula is two times so the debt
[367]
is two times the total assets if we debt our if we changed a debtor one over here
[373]
and two over here we will get the debt ratio formula is 0.5 X it is usually
[379]
considered to as a greater it's a good number it's a good way to calculate okay
[383]
and if we put things over here as 5 and 2 or 5 and 1 over here you
[389]
can see the debt ratio has increased to 5 see but 5 X is a very
[393]
leveraged company like you know companies like Jet Airways it has capital
[399]
intensive company they have a debt close enough to 12000 crores that is
[403]
in terms of in INR the in the that's the Indian currency INR will if
[409]
you see that is a highly leveraged company and that the debt is close
[415]
enough to 12000 that means it's that ratio is close enough to 4.5 X
[419]
which is really high so such companies are really risking their
[426]
cash flows their operations because majority of their profits or funds are
[432]
blocked in interest so the company should not be highly leveraged or even
[436]
if they are then they should set off with some of the fixed deposits if they
[441]
have any so that you know you can set off the interest of the fixed deposit
[444]
and the interest of the the interest of the debt that you are going to pay so
[449]
this is a debt calculator you can calculate the debt ratio with the help
[453]
of for this calculator I hope you have got the concept regarding the debt ratio
[457]
thank you
