Explanation:

The computation of debt-to-assets ratio is shown below:-

For computing the debt-to-assets ratio first we need to find out the total debt which is given below:-

Total Debt = Assets - Stockholders' equity

= $48 billion - $10 billion

= $38 billion

Debt-to-assets ratio = Total Debt : Total Assets

= $38 billion : $48 billion

= 0.79 times

So, for computing the debt-to-assets ratio we simply applied the above formula.
