Starbucks

The short-term liabilities of Starbucks are $2.075 billion. The long-term debt is $549.5 million. Total long-term liabilities -- not the same thing as long-term debt -- are $899.7 million.

The market value of equity of Starbucks (market cap) is $31.17 billion.

The debt-to-equity ratio for McDonalds is as follows: 17,341 / 14634.2 = 1.185
