The Court normally consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight associate justices who are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Once appointed, justices have life tenure unless they resign, retire, or are removed after impeachment (though no justice has ever been removed).
The solvency ratio measures the size of a company's after-tax income, excluding noncash depreciation expenses, compared with the firm's total debt obligations. It provides a measurement of how likely it is a company can continue to meet its debt obligations. The measure is calculated as shown here:
Solvency ratios indicate financial stability because they measure a company's debt relative to its assets and equity. A company with too much debt may not have the flexibility to manage its cash flow if interest rates rise or if business conditions deteriorate. The common solvency ratios are debt-to-asset and debt-to-equity. The debt-to-asset ratio is the ratio of total debt to total assets. The debt-to-equity ratio is the ratio of total debt to shareholders' equity, which is the difference between total assets and total liabilities.
