Duke Company has net fixed assets of $400,000, short-term liabilities of $30,000, long-term liabilities of $20,000, common stockholders' equity of $90,000, and total stockholders' equity of $100,000 (including the common). Duke's ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities is a. 8%. b. 20. c. 8. d. 20%.

option (b) 20

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Net fixed assets = $400,000

Short-term liabilities = $30,000

Long-term liabilities = $20,000

Common stockholders' equity = $90,000

Total stockholders' equity = $100,000

Now,

Ratio of fixed assets to long term liabilities

= Net Fixed assets : Long term liabilities

or

= $400,000 : $20,000

= 20

Hence,

The correct answer is option (b) 20
