Debt to equity ratio is expressed as,

D/E = Debt (liabilities)/Equity

Sometimes only interest containing long term debt is used in online stock trades instead of total liabilities. Than the ratio will be named as debt to asset. Another name of this ratio in online stock trades is debt to value.

D/A = total liabilities / total assets = debt / (debt + equity)

The relationship of D/E and D/A is given below

D/A = D/E / (1 + D/E)

D/E = D/A / (1 - D/A)

In banking field same ratio of D/E is known as capital equity.

Capital Adequacy = E / A

Since D + E = A (in the field of accounting)

D/A + E/A = 1,

So

E/A = 1 - D/A.
