what does a debt ratio of .51 mean
Audrey F.
As a loan officer for Third Commercial Bank your job description includes evaluating and recommending approval of commercial and real estate loans. On your desk is a loan application from Avantgarde Manufacturing, a producer of household goods. Nine years ago, your bank declined a loan application from AvantgardeOne, partially due to a debt ratio higher than the industry average. The average percentage of assets financed by liabilities rather than stockholders' equity for the manufacturing industry is 50%. The rationale for declining the previous loan request was that too much debt posed a risk of default. To assist you in your analysis of the current loan application, you have created a Tableau Dashboard depicting trends in assets, liabilities, and equity for the most recent ten years. 2012 Assets=656710, Liabilities=415105, Shareholder equity=241605 2013 Assets=663277, liabilities=448314, shareholder equity=214963 2014 Assets=696441, liabilities=412052, shareholder equity=284389 2015 Assets=710370 liabilities=432647, shareholder equity=277723 2016 Assets=760096, liabilities=433540, shareholder equity=326556 2017 Assets=790500, liabilities=412585, shareholder equity=377915 2018 Assets=806310, liabilities=390663, shareholder equity=415647 2019 Assets=838562, liabilities=436612, shareholder equity=401950 2020 Assets=897261, liabilities=480068, shareholder equity=417193 2021 Assets=933152, liabilities =406681, shareholder equity=526471 Which possible conclusion is supported by the Dashboard concerning Avantgarde’s ability to repay a loan if granted? The bank probably should decline the loan because the debt ratio has declined steadily since the previous loan application and, in fact, is slightly below the industry average of 50% in the most recent year. The bank should decline the loan because the debt ratio is higher than the industry average of 50% for nine of the ten years observed. The bank should consider granting the loan because the debt ratio has declined steadily since the previous loan application and is slightly below the industry average of 50% in the most recent year. The bank probably should decline the loan because the debt ratio has declined steadily since the previous loan application and, in fact, is slightly below the industry average of 50% in the most recent year
