Analyse And Improve Your Business With Financial Ratios
|
By Seamus Parfrey
Ratios measure the relationship between two or more figures in the financial statements. They are used most effectively when results over a number of periods or years are compared. You will see trends or inconsistencies that might need to be addressed.
The following are the main financial ratios to measure the financial health of a business.
Leverage ratios
1. Debt-to-equity ratio · Total liabilities/Shareholders' equity
Measures how much debt a business is carrying as compared to the amount invested by its owners. This indicator is closely watched by banks as a measure of a business's capacity to repay its debts.
2. Debt-to-asset ratio · Total liabilities/Total assets
Shows the percentage of a company's assets financed by creditors. A high ratio indicates a substantial dependence on debt and could be a sign of financial weakness.
Liquidity ratios
1. Working capital ratio · Current assets/Current liabilities
