Answer:
The correct answer is 65.7%
Explanation:
According to the given scenario, the calculation of the debt ratio is as follows;
But prior to that the following calculations are needed
Ending total assets $286,000
Less: Ending stockholders equity Â
opening stockholders equity($274,000 - $188,000) $86,000 Â
Add: Revenue    $119,000 Â
Less: Expenses   $89,000 Â
Less: Dividends $18,000 Â
Ending stockholders equity  $98,000
ending liabilities  $188,000
Now
debt ratio = Total liabilities ÷ total assets
=  $188,000 ÷ $286,000
= 65.7%
hence, the debt ratio is 65.7%
