Solution

The incorrect statement is: "The higher the debt-to-equity ratio, the more profit the company has recorded".

The debt-to-equity ratio is a measure of a company's financial leverage, and it shows the proportion of a company's funding that comes from debt versus equity. A higher debt-to-equity ratio means that a company has more debt relative to its equity, not that it has recorded more profit. Profitability is not directly related to a company's debt-to-equity ratio.
