Which of the following would you use to work out a company's gearing ratio?

Explanation

Gearing measures how much of an organisation's long-term funding is made up of long term debt and loans. Therefore the correct answers are 'shareholder equity' and 'long term debt'.

There are many question about financial ratios that can come up on the exam. If you're unsure on them I suggest doing further reading outside of the study guide as this will help. I like this youtube video (I'm not associated with the makers of this video but think they're really good at explaining things to beginners) Gearing Ratio explained (youtube.com)
