Explanation / Answer

Debt to asset ratio = Total debt / Total asstes of the company

For dec 31, 2016:

Total assets = $52.00 bn

Total Debt = Assets - (equity including reserves) = 52-(14) = 38bn

Since the year end value of equity is given , it must be after the year's net profit has been recorded in equity capital.

Debt to asset ratio = 38/52 = 0.73
