In this case, gearing ratio = (220/300) = 0.73 which is a good gearing ratio.

Any financial ratio which highlights the EFFICIENCY of a business in utilising borrowed FUNDS come into the category of gearing ratios. The total AMOUNT of DEBT is divided by equity capital to find the gearing ratio of a business.

Examples of gearing ratios –

Interest EARNED ratio = ( earning before income tax/total interest).

Debt-equity ratio = ( total debt/ total equity).

Debt ratio = (total debts/total assets).

Equity ratio =(total equity/total assets
