Correct Answer: A is true, but R is false.
 


Solution : The debt-equity ratio serves as a gauge for how equally creditors and owners or shareholders contributed to the capital used by the company. The debt-equity ratio is the simple ratio of all long-term debt and equity capital in the company.
The debt-equity ratio describes the relationship between a company's short-term debt and equity share capital.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
