    But y revision kit uses

    Long term debt / capital employed ?

    2. Sometimes scenario tells us to analyze the ratio and how kniw whether to use debt / equity or debt / (debt+equity) ? ?

    Use either formula, but be consistent between the years.

    Capital employed=Equity + Long term debt.

    Use the one that gives you the answer in the scennario if a figure is given. Otherwise, use whichever you want to.
