It is the ratio of total debt the sum of current liabilities and long term liabilities and total assets the sum of current assets , fixed assets , and other assets such as Goodwill accounting goodwill . math mbox Debt ratio frac mbox Total Debt mbox Total Assets math or alternatively math mbox Debt ratio frac mbox Total Liability mbox Total Assets math For example, a company with 2 million in total assets and 500,000 in total liabilities would have a debt ratio of 25 . The higher the ratio, the greater risk will be associated with the firm s operation. In addition, high debt to assets ratio may indicate low borrowing capacity of a firm, which in turn will lower the firm s financial flexibility. Like all financial ratios, a company s debt ratio should be compared with their industry average or other competing firms. 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. Companies with high debt asset ratios are said to be highly leveraged, not highly liquid as stated above. A company with a high debt ratio highly leveraged could be in danger if creditors start to demand repayment of debt.

Refimprove date August 2007 A debt moratorium is a delay in the payment of debt s or obligation s. The term is generally used to refer to acts by national governments. A moratory law is usually passed in some special period of political or commerce commercial stress for instance, on several occasions during the Franco Prussian War , the France French government passed moratory laws. Their international law international validity was discussed at length, and upheld in the English law case Rouquette v Overman 1875 LR 10 QB. Debt moratoriums are generally opposed by creditors. Proponents of debt moratoriums argue that it is a sovereign decision by the government of a nation to suspend payment of debt to its creditors, in the event that to do otherwise would do irreparable harm to the welfare of its citizenry. A debt moratorium may take the form of a complete cessation of debt payments, or a partial cessation for example, the government of President Alan Garc a of Peru implemented the so called Ten Per Cent Solution , where it was announced that only 10 of export earnings would go to debt payment.

Unreferenced date March 2007 Hitting the debt wall is a dire financial situation that can occur when a nation depends on foreign debt and or investment to subsidize their budget and then commercial deficits stop being the recipient of foreign capital flows. The lack of foreign capital flows reduces the demand for the local currency . The increased supply of currency coupled with an increased demand then causes a significant devaluation of the currency. This hurts the industrial base of the country since it can no longer afford to buy those imported supplies needed for production. Further, any obligations in foreign currency are now significantly more expensive to service both for the government and businesses. This same concept has also been applied to personal debt. Specifically it has been applied to students who get in over their heads with student loans to finance their education. Category Debt finance stub ... more details

Debt evasion is the intentional act of trying to avoid attempts by creditors to collect or pursue one s debt. At an elementary level, this includes the refusal to missed call answer one s phone by Call screening screening one s calls or by ignoring mailed notices informing the debtor of the debt. In more advanced cases, this includes misleading the creditor to believe the debtor does not reside at the location where the creditor is attempting to reach the debtor. Debt evasion is common because many people are scared of creditors when they owe many and feel uncomfortable confronting those attempting to collect debt. But evasion does not make the debt disappear, and does not make the debtor any less liable toward the creditor. In most cases, debt evasion is not a criminal act.
