Just look on the balance sheet. Take the liabilities and divide by the OE.

u need to find out exactly which proxy for Liabilities (numerator) u need; Total Liabilities, Current Liabilities or Long Term Debt, which is the most used and abused Debt-to-Equity ratio (a.k.a. gearing, financial leverage, DE)
Sometimes the denominator also depends on your definition. Some analysts divide by the book value of Equity and others by Total Shareholders' Equity (a.k.a. Net Worth)
The whole thing has got so many variants.

Sounds like you are trying to determine a debt to net worth ratio which is simply the total debt divided by equity.........
