📝 What is Debt to Equity Ratio?

🏦 What is Debt to Equity Ratio? Imagine you want to open a burger shop 🍔. ✔️ You have ₹1,00,000 of your own money. ✔️ You also borrow ₹2,00,000 loan from a bank. Now what’s happening? 🤔 👉 You are running your business with both your money AND other people’s money (loan). Debt to Equity Ratio helps you understand this mix! 🎯 🎯 What is Debt to Equity Ratio? 👉 Debt to Equity Ratio = Total Debt ÷ Shareholders' Equity ✔️ Debt = Money borrowed from banks or others 🏦 ✔️ Equity = Money owned by shareholders (like YOU) 💰 🎨 Funny Example: Bunty opens a tea stall ☕: ✔️ He invests ₹50,000 of his own money (Equity = ₹50,000). ✔️ Takes ₹1,00,000 loan from his uncle (Debt = ₹1,00,000). 👉 Debt to Equity Ratio = ₹1,00,000 ÷ ₹50,000 = 2 Means: For every ₹1 of Bunty’s own money, ₹2 is borrowed money! 😮 So the business is running more on loan than on Bunty’s own cash! 🤔 Why is This Ratio Important? ✔️ Tells how much the company depends on loans. ✔️ Shows the financial risk — more loans = more risk! ⚠️ ✅ Low Debt/Equity Ratio (below 1) = Company using mostly its own money = Safe 🏠 ❌ High Debt/Equity Ratio (above 2) = Company depends heavily on loans = Risky! 💣 💥 When Low Debt to Equity Ratio is Good? ✔️ Company is safe during bad times (no loan burden) ✔️ Less interest to pay = More profit! 😍 ⚠️ When High Debt to Equity Ratio is Dangerous? ❌ Company must pay big interest — even if no profit! 😱 ❌ During bad times — risk of default or bankruptcy! 🚨 🎯 But Wait… High Debt is Not Always Bad! Some industries (like construction 🏗️ or airlines ✈️) NEED big loans to operate. ✔️ If these companies earn well — high debt is OK. ✔️ But if profits fall — they crash like a bad spaceship! 🚀💥 🏆 Quick Gyaan: ✔️ Debt to Equity Ratio below 1 = Safe zone! 🛡️ ✔️ Debt to Equity Ratio 1-2 = Acceptable for growing businesses! 🌱 ✔️ Debt to Equity Ratio above 2 = Caution! Check more details! 🔍 🎈 Funny Tip: Checking Debt to Equity Ratio is like checking your friend's credit card bill before lending him money — Too many loans? Better say NO! 🚫💳😂 🔑 In Short: ✔️ Debt to Equity Ratio = How much loan vs own money in business. ✔️ Low Ratio = Peaceful sleep for investors 😴 ✔️ High Ratio = Tension + Risk + Nightmares 😬 💡 "A strong business stands on its own feet, not on borrowed crutches!" 🦵💰
