How can Solvency Ratios be used to evaluate a company's long-term debt-paying ability and financial leverage?

Solvency Ratios, such as the Debt to Equity ratio, are used to evaluate a company's long-term debt-paying ability and financial leverage. These ratios provide insights into the company's financial stability and its ability to meet its long-term obligations.
