Debt-Equity Ratio = \(\frac { Long-term Debts }{ Shareholders Funds }\)
Long-term Debts = Long-term Borrowings + Long-term Provisions
= ₹ 2,00,000 + ₹ 1,00,000 = ₹ 3,00,000
Shareholders’ Funds = Non-current Assets + Current Assets – Long-termBorrowings – Longterm Provisions – Current Liabilities
₹3,60,000 + ₹90,000 – ₹2,00,000 – ₹ 1,00,000 – ₹50,000
= ₹4,50,000 – ₹ 3,50,000 = ₹ 1,00,000

Answer:

Question 38.
For the year ended March 31,2017, Net Profit after tax of K X Limited was ₹ 6,00,000. The company has ₹ 40,00,000 12% Debentures of ₹ 100 each.

Net Profit before tax 100/(100 – Tax) x Net Profit after tax
= 100/60 x 6,00,000= 10,00,000
Net Profit before Interest & Tax – Net Profit before tax + Interest on Long-Term Debts
= 10,00,000 + 4,80,000 = 14,80,000
Interest Coverage Ratio = Net Profit before Interest and Tax Interest on Long-Term Debts
= 14,80,000 / 4,80,000 = 3.08 Times
