Explanation / Answer

4.35

A ratio of less than one indicates that a business may not be in a position to pay its interest obligations, and so is more likely to default on its debt. A much higher ratio is a strong indicator that the ability to service debt is not a problem for a borrower.

The Debt Equity ratio of company W is more than 1 and very high than other company so company w is more risky and company E is less risky.

(Amounts in millions or billions) Company E Company K Company W Current Ratio Current Asset/ Current Liabilities Current Ratio 2.09 2.52 2.21 The current ratio can provide investors and analysts with clues about the efficiency of a company’s operating cycle, or its ability to monetize its products. The higher the ratio, the more able a company is to pay off its obligations. While acceptable ratios vary depending on the specific industry, a ratio between 1.5 and 3 is generally considered healthy. Investors and analysts would consider MSFT, with a current ratio of 2.05, financially healthy and capable of paying off its obligations. Debt Ratio Debt/ Equity Debt Ratio 0.52 1.72 4.43 A high debt/equity ratio generally indicates that a company has been aggressive in financing its growth with debt. This can result in volatile earnings as a result of the additional interest expense, and if it is very high, it may increase the chances of a default or bankruptcy. Typically a debt to equity ratio greater than 2.0 indicates a risky scenario for the investor, however this yardstick can vary by industry. Businesses that require large capital expenditures (CapEx) may need to secure more loans than other companies. It's a good idea to measure a firm's leverage ratios against past performance and its competitors' performance to better understand the data. Leverage Ratio Avg. Total Assets/ Avg. Total Equity Leverage Ratio 2.43

4.35

8.33 This ratio indicates that the higher the degree of financial leverage, the more volatile earnings will be. Since interest is usually a fixed expense, leverage magnifies returns and EPS. This is good when operating income is rising, but it can be a problem when operating income is under pressure. Times Interest Earned Earnings before Interest and Tax / Interest Expenses Times Interest Earned 1.63 1.38 1.68

A ratio of less than one indicates that a business may not be in a position to pay its interest obligations, and so is more likely to default on its debt. A much higher ratio is a strong indicator that the ability to service debt is not a problem for a borrower.

The Debt Equity ratio of company W is more than 1 and very high than other company so company w is more risky and company E is less risky.
