    This is a doubt from Q44 page 38, answer 44 page 171 of the BPP revision kit.

    How do you calculate the average Debt/Equity ratio and the Average Interest Coverage Ratio ?

    Interest coverage ratio is profit before interest divided by the interest.

    Debt/equity is the amount of debt finance divided by the amount of equity finance (the question says to use book (balance sheet) values)

    You use the figures from the year-end accounts. You are not asked for an average.
    (The averages given are the averages of other companies ratios)
