| Question 1 | ||
| a) Debt to equity ratios | ||
| Pulaski Company | Scott Company | |
| Total liabilities | $360,000.00 | $240,000.00 |
| Total Equity | $500,000.00 | $200,000.00 |

| Question 2 | ||
| The debt to equity ratio measures the amount of debt a company uses has to finance its business for every dollar of equity it has. | ||
| A higher debt to equity ratio implies that a company uses more debt than equity for financing. In this case, the debt to equity ratio for Pulaski Company | ||
| is 0.72 which is less than 1 implying that the stockholder's equity exceeds the amount of debt borrowed. Thus Pulaski Company may not likely suffer from risks brought about by | ||
| huge amount of debts in the capital structure. On the other hand, the debt to equity ratio of Scott Company is 1.2 which is greater than 1 implying that the debt exceeds the total | ||
| amount stockholders equity. Huge debts is associated with a lot of risks. First, there is the risk of defaulting whereby the company may be unable to repay its debt and therefore leading | ||
| to bankruptcy. Second, a company may find it difficult to obtain additional funding from creditors.This is because the creditors prefer companies with low debt to equity ratio. Finally, there is the risks of | ||
| violating the debt covenants. A covenant is an agreement that requires a company to maintain adequate financial ratio levels. Too much borrowings may violate this covenant. Since Scott | ||
| Company has a higher debt to equity ratio, it may experience these risks which may eventually lead to the company being declared bankrupt . | ||
