    D Strong liquidity position Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Low cost of capital Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The Debt-Equity Ratio (Total Debt / Total Equity) measures a company's financial leverage. A high ratio indicates that the company is aggressively funding its growth with debt, which can be risky because debt must be repaid with interest regardless of business performance, increasing financial risk (contrary to A).
