The debt-to-equity ratio is calculated by dividing total liabilities by total shareholders' equity. Total liabilities are the sum of current liabilities (\$5,000) and long-term liabilities (\$35,000), which equals \$40,000. Total shareholders' equity is the sum of common stock (\$100,000) and retained earnings (\$90,000), which equals \$190,000. Therefore, the debt-to-equity ratio is \$40,000 / \$190,000 = 0.21.
