=(54.222 / 1512.844) / (0 / 0)
=0.035841 /
=

7. LVGI = Leverage Index

The ratio of total debt to Total Assets in year t relative to yeat t-1.

An LVGI > 1 indicates an increase in leverage

LVGI=((LTD_t + CurrentLiabilities_t) / TotalAssets_t) / ((LTD_t-1 + CurrentLiabilities_t-1) / TotalAssets_t-1)
=((349.206 + 756.559) / 3997.93) / ((31.353 + 458.126) / 2432.418)
