0.74

Explanation:

The debt to equity ratio is a financial measure that shows how much of the company's activities is funded by long term debt or non current liabilities compared to the owner's equity.

A company with an element of long term debt financing is said to be geared. The higher the long term debt to equity ratio, the more geared the company is.

Debt to equity ratio is the ratio of debt to equity

= 370/498

= 0.74
