Equity Share Capital 2,00,000
General Reserve 2,00,000
Debt to equity ratio will be :-
Option 1: 3:1
Option 2: 2:1
Option 3: 4:1
Option 4: None of the above
Correct Answer: 2:1
Solution :
Answer =
2:1
Debt to Equity Ratio=$\frac{\text { Debt }}{\text { Equity }}$=$\frac{60,000}{3,00,000}$=2:1.
Debt = Long-term borrowings +long-term provision=5,00,000+1,00,000=6,00,000.
Shareholder fund = Share capital + Reserve + Profit & loss=2,00,000+2,00,000+(1,00,000)=4,00,000-1,00,000=3,00,000.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
