正解 The equity ratio is “the proportion of equity (net assets) to total assets,” and is calculated as equity ratio = equity ÷ total assets × 100. From the balance sheet, total assets = current assets 100 + non-current assets 500 = 600 million yen, and equity = shareholders' equity of 240 million yen within net assets. Therefore 240 ÷ 600 × 100 = 40%, so ア is correct. Total assets 600 equal the sum of liabilities 360 (current 160 + non-current 200) and net assets 240, which confirms the premise of the calculation.
80% is incorrect. The correct value is equity 240 ÷ total assets 600 = 40%. For it to be 80%, equity would need to be 480 (80% of total assets), but net assets (equity) is only 240. This wrong answer arises from miscounting part of the liabilities as equity, or from mistaking the denominator, and does not match the correct formula.
125% is incorrect. Equity is part of total assets, so the equity ratio must always be 100% or less. Once it exceeds 100%, as 125% does, it cannot be the equity ratio. This is the value obtained from an unrelated calculation such as non-current liabilities 200 ÷ current liabilities 160, and is not the correct answer.
150% is incorrect. This is total liabilities 360 ÷ equity 240 × 100 = 150%, that is, the “debt-to-equity ratio (the ratio of liabilities to equity),” which is a different indicator. The equity ratio divides equity by total assets and is always 100% or less, so 150% is impossible.
