Ideal DE Ratio is 2:1. Regarding your confusion whether it is 1:2 or 2:1, try to understand the concept. Funding of any entity would be composed of its own fund and debt fund. Generally in most of the cases debt portion is more than the owner's fund. Now the question is that what is the ideal debt.. That depends on amount of equity.. So generally it is said that debt should not exceed twice of equity fund.. So ratio is 2:1. Hope it is now clear to you.
