  • Debt/Assets: Shows % of assets funded by creditors (bounded 0-100%)
  • Debt/Equity: Shows debt relative to shareholder investment (can exceed 100%)
  • Both measure leverage but from different perspectives

Industry context matters: Capital-intensive industries (utilities, real estate) typically have higher Debt/Assets ratios than tech companies.
