Short-Term Debt to Total Capital

"Short-Term Debt to Total Capital" is a financial metric that measures the percentage of a company's short-term debt in relation to its total capital.

The formula to calculate this ratio is:

Short-Term Debt to Total Capital Ratio = Short-Term Debt / (Short-Term Debt + Long-Term Debt + Total Shareholders' Equity)

A higher Short-Term Debt to Total Capital ratio indicates that a larger portion of the company's financial structure comes from short-term debt. Companies with high debt ratios are more vulnerable to economic changes and market volatility. Generally, investors prefer companies with low short-term debt to total capital ratios as they are considered to be financially stable and have a lower risk of defaulting on their debt obligations.
