How do you determine total debt for for debt ratio?

debt_consolidation_loan

Im having trouble determining the total for the debt ratio of total debt divided by total assets. I need Wal-Marts total debt, but not sure what categories on the balance sheet are included. Do I add total current liabilities, long term debt, long term obligations under capital leases, deferred income taxes and other, minority interest? I just need to know what to add up to get the total debt for Wal-Mart 2008. Thank you!

    There should be a line for total liabilities. Use that, not current liabilities

Got something to say?
