Correct Answer: debt-equity ratio of 1: 1 is considered safe.


Solution : Answer = debt-equity ratio of 1: 1 is considered safe is incorrect

The ideal debt-to-equity ratio is 2:1 . A debt-equity ratio of 1:1 may not necessarily be safe; it depends on the industry and financial circumstances. Generally, lower ratios indicate less risk, while higher ratios signal potential financial vulnerability. An ideal debt-equity ratio of 2:1 indicates a balanced capital structure, with twice as much equity financing as debt. This ratio suggests that the company has a moderate level of leverage, minimizing financial risk while still leveraging debt for growth opportunities.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
