A microaggression is any one of the countless little things that leave the mouth of a well-intentioned person and that person looks back, cringes, and think, Ooo...was that a little bit racist / sexist / homophobic? (The looking back might not actually happen...)
Total liabilities divided by total assets. The debt/asset ratio shows the proportion of a company's assets which are financed through debt. If the ratio is less than 0.5, most of the company's assets are financed through equity. If the ratio is greater than 0.5, most of the company's assets are financed through debt.
By Richard Loth (Contact | Biography) The debt-equity ratio is another leverage ratio that compares a company's total liabilities to its total shareholders' equity. This is a measurement of how much suppliers, lenders, creditors and obligors have committed to the company versus what the shareholders have committed.
