Question: What was Apple Inc.'s Debt to Equity Ratio for 2023, and how does it compare to the ratio from 2022?
Answer: Debt to Equity Ratio is calculated using the formula: Debt to Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Shareholders' Equity.

For 2023:
Total Debt = Current Term Debt + Non-current Term Debt = $9,822 million + $95,281 million = $105,103 million
Shareholders' Equity = $62,146 million
Debt to Equity Ratio = $105,103 million / $62,146 million = 1.69

For 2022:
Total Debt = Current Term Debt + Non-current Term Debt = $11,128 million + $98,959 million = $110,087 million
Shareholders' Equity = $50,672 million
Debt to Equity Ratio = $110,087 million / $50,672 million = 2.17
