Correct Answer: 75%


Solution : The shareholders equity is divided by the total assets of the company to arrive at the proprietary ratio, which is expressed as a percentage.

Total shareholder euity is - Equity share capital + Reserves

                                        = 400000 + 200000 = 600000

Total assets of the company = Fixed assets + Current assets

                                              = 500000 + 300000

                                              = 800000

Hence the Proprietory ratio is -  600000*100 / 800000

                                                = 75%

Hence the correct answer is option 1.
