RATIO ANALYSIS
The use of accounting ratios is to evaluate a company’s operating performance and financial
stability. Such ratios as return on capital employed and gross profit percentage can be used to
assess profitability. The liquidity ratios can be used to examine solvency and gearing ratios to
examine the financial structure of the company. The analysis of ratios can indicate how well a
company is run, the risks of financial insolvency, and the financial returns provided.
Liquidity Ratio.
Leverage Ratio.
Activity Ratio.
Investors/Shareholders Ratio.
Profitability Ratio.
LIQUIDITY RATIO
Liquidity means the ability of the firm to pay its way. Liquidity ratios are the ratios that measure
a company’s liquid position.
LEVERAGE RATIO
Any ratio used to calculate the financial leverage of a company to get an idea of the company's
methods of financing or to measure its ability to meet financial obligations. There are several
different ratios, but the main factors looked at include debt, equity, assets and interest expenses.
ACTIVITY RATIO
Activity ratios are the rate at which the company sells its stock and the efficiency with which it
uses its assets.
INVESTORS RATIO
Information to enable decisions to be made on the extent of the risk and the earning potential of
a business investment is investors’ ratio.
PROFITABILITY RATIO
Profitability ratio is a class of financial metrics that are used to assess a business's ability to
generate earnings as compared to its expenses and other relevant costs incurred during a
specific period of time. For most of these ratios, having a higher value relative to a competitor's
ratio or the same ratio from a previous period is indicative that the company is doing well.

WORKING CAPITAL
Working capital is the capital that is used to finance the day-to-day operations of a company.
Working capital is calculated as the difference between current assets and current liabilities.
CURRENT RATIO
Current ratio is the ratio of the current assets of a business to the current liabilities; it is used as
a test of liquidity.
Current assets
Current ratio =
Current liabilities
Quick assets
Quick ratio =
Current liabilities
QUICK ASSETS
Quick assets are the assets held in cash or in something that can be readily turned into cash with
minimal capital loss (e.g. deposits in a bank current account, accounts receivable, marketable
investments).
EQUITY RATIO
Total shareholders’ equity x 100
Equity ratio =
Total assets

DEBT RATIO
A ratio used to examine the financial structure or gearing (leverage) of a business. The long-
term debt, normally including preference shares, of a business is expressed as a percentage of
its equity. A highly geared company is one in which the debt is higher than the equity, compared
to the other companies in a similar industry.
Total liabilities
Debt ratio =
Total assets
365
Accounts receivable turnover in days =
Receivable turnover in times
INVENTORY TURNOVER
A ratio for financial analysis that communicates the efficiency of inventory management. The
formula is inventory turnover = cost of goods sold/average inventory held. It is important to
match up the time period covered by the cost of goods sold and the time period of the average
inventory. If the ratio is high, it means inventory items are not in the warehouse long before
sale. If the ratio is low, it means the company has a lot of inventory on hand in relation to the
amount it sells. While a high ratio may indicate efficiency, a high ratio may also involve a risk of
running out of products and losing sales. A low ratio could mean that the company has obsolete
inventory that will never be sold, or that the company has built up inventory in anticipation of
higher prices or shortages. Interpretations of the inventory-turnover ratio require comparisons
with industry averages. However, some publishers of comparative data use sales in the
numerator of the ratio, so the reader has to investigate for comparability.

OPERATING CYCLE
Operating cycle is the average time between acquiring inventory and receiving cash from its
sale.

ASSETS TURNOVER
A ratio used in financial statement analysis to investigate how efficiently assets are used to
generate earnings. The numerator is usually sales for the period and the denominator is the
average value of the specific assets held during the period covered by the sales. A higher ratio is
better, but the exact number depends on the industry & should be compared to industry norms.
Net profit
Earnings per share =
Average no. of shares
EARNINGS RATIO
Earnings per share X 100
Earnings ratio =

Shareholders’ equity
Book value per share =
Number of shares
NUMBER OF SHARES
Share capital
Number of shares =
Par value of share
DIVIDEND YIELD
A ratio computed by dividing the annual dividends paid per share of ordinary share by the
market price per share at a specific date; indicates the rate of return to shareholders in terms of
cash dividend distributions.
SHARE CAPITAL
Share capital = Shareholders’ equity – Retained earnings
SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Shareholders’ equity = Total assets – Total liabilities
