Answer to Question 1

The debt-to-equity ratio is a measure of the leverage of the company. It compares the amount of capital provided by creditors to the equity of the company.

Answer to Question 2

The mission statement is used to define why the company exists and what makes it different from other companies in the industry. It is the foundation upon which a strategic plan is developed.
