    The answer is Option D. 1.68 times

    Explanation:

    The formula for equity multiplier is:

    Equity Multiplier = Total assets : Total stockholder's equity

    In 2017:

    Total stockholder's equity = Common stock + Retained earnings

    Total stockholder's equity = $2890 + $700 = $3590

    Total assets = $6,015

    Now, putting these values in the above formula, we get,

    Equity multiplier = $6,015 : $3,590 = 1.68 times
