As we can see, this ratio increased gradually from 38.9% in 2017 to 55.0% in 2020, which means the firm needed to use more dassets as a proportion year by year After that, this ratio decreased to 49.1% in 2021 due to the significant increase of total assets brise of total debt, which means the company operations were less dependent on debt

In these 5 years, these ratios were all lower than the average total debt ratios of the steel industry which were 52.73%, 55.87%, 57.52.91% respectively It can be seen that in 2017, the difference between the average data (52.73%) and the actual one (38.9%) wwhich could be implied that the company didn’t take the advantage of financial leverage as well as its peers Therefore, in the newould notice the increase in using debt to finance for the total assets, and from 2018 to 2021, these ratios became nearly equal tdata of the industry, which could mean the company put their effort into using financial leverage effectively to gain more return
