B. 67.3%. C. 32.7%. D. 48.6%. E. Cannot be determined from the information provided. If total assets were $248,000 and total liabilities were $175,000, total equity was $73,000 at the beginning of the period. Add to that figure $93,000 of revenues during the year and subtract $76,000 of expenses and $5,000 of withdrawals during the year and equity obviously ended the year at $85,000. If total assets at the end of the year were $260,000 and total equity was $85,000, total liabilities were $175,000. Thus, the debt ratio was $175,000 / $260,000 = 67.3%.
