Question: What does Nike's solvency position look like for fiscal year 2018, and how can it be assessed using Debt-to-Equity and Debt-to-Assets ratios?
Answer: Debt-to-Equity Ratio:
Formula: Debt-to-Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Shareholders’ Equity

Data:

Total Debt (Long-term) = $3,468 million
Shareholders' Equity = $9,812 million
Calculation:
Debt-to-Equity Ratio = 3,468 / 9,812 ≈ 0.35

Interpretation:
For every dollar of equity, Nike has $0.35 in long-term debt.

Debt-to-Assets Ratio:
Formula: Debt-to-Assets Ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets


Total Debt (Long-term) = $3,468 million
Total Assets = $22,536 million
Calculation:
Debt-to-Assets Ratio = 3,468 / 22,536 ≈ 0.15

Interpretation:
15% of Nike's assets are financed by debt.

Conclusion:
Nike's solvency position in 2018 appears strong, with a low reliance on debt compared to its equity and assets. This reflects a conservative capital structure and a robust capacity to meet its long-term obligations.
