Hi All,

I hope my question is specific and it is not a repeat question.

From the CA Exam perspective can anyone please tell me which formula should I use in exam if a question comes on DEBT/EQITY Ratio. There are 3-4 formulas available in the books, which are as follows:

1) Long Term Debt/ (Shareholders Funds+ Long Term Debt)

2)Long Term Debt/ Owner's Equities

3) External Equities/ Internal Equities or All Debts/Owner's Funds

Which one should one be using for Financial Management, IPCC exam?
