1) Calculate their capital structure ratio (i.e., total liabilities divided by total assets).

Debt to asset ratio shows the proportion of a company\'s assets which are financed through debt.

Calculation of Capital structure ratio / Debt to asset ratio:

Debt to asset ratio = Total liabilities ÷ Total assets

Total liabilities on December 31, 2014 = $1,893,983,000

Total Assets on December 31, 2014 = $680,571,000

Therefore, Debt to asset ratio = $680,571,000 ÷ $1,893,983,000 = 0.36 times or 36%
