What are the possible ways to increase debt-equity ratio?
The debt-to-equity ratio is a very simply calculation. Just divide a company's outstanding debt at a given date (usually quarter-end or year-end) by the company's equity on that same date. So, to increase this ratio, you would need to either increase the debt balance (i.e. borrow more) or decrease the equity balance (i.e. pay a dividend). Keep in mind, while increasing the debt-to-equity ratio will increase the ROE (return on equity) for a company, it also increases risk. Additionally, most banks include covenants in their loans that limit the debt-to-equity ratio for their customers (thereby making certain that the company has an equity "cushion" should an economic downturn occur).

Is the book value the same as stockholders' equity?
Book Value and Shareholder Equity are not quite the same thing. To find a company's book value, you need to take the shareholders' equity and exclude all intangible items. This leaves you with the theoretical value of all of the company's tangible assets (those which can be touched, seen, and felt). For this reason, book value is sometimes also called "Net Tangible Assets". http://beginnersinvest.about.com/cs/investinglessons/l/blles3bkvalue.htm
