      E All of the above are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The lower the total debt-to-equity ratio, the lower the financial risk for a firm. The total debt-to-equity ratio measures the proportion of a firm's total debt to its shareholders' equity. A lower ratio indicates that the firm relies less on debt financing and has a higher proportion of equity. This lower ratio implies lower financial risk because the firm has less debt to repay, reducing the potential for financial distress.
