Eliminate options that are not solvency ratios: The Current Ratio is a liquidity ratio, Gross Profit Margin is a profitability ratio, and Inventory Turnover Ratio is an efficiency ratio.
Identify the correct solvency ratio: The Debt to Equity Ratio is a solvency ratio because it evaluates the proportion of debt financing relative to equity financing, indicating the company's financial leverage.
