Step 1

Debt Equity Ratio is used to measure the company's total debt in relation to the equity i.e. amount invested by the owners and retained earnings over time. A debt-equity ratio of 1 to 1.5 is considered ideal depending on the type of industry. 

A Debt-Equity ratio of 1.5 means that for every $1 of equity, the company has $1.5 of debt. This is considered to be ideal because more of equity can be costly and inefficient for the company and more of debt would mean financial trouble for the company.
