Document Summary
3 types of financial ratios = liquidity, solvency, & profitability. Short-term debt paying ability on a cash basis. Current ratio, cash current debt coverage, receivables turnover, inventory. Average collection period, days in inventory ---- use turnover ratios in their denominators: lower result = better. You want fewer days to collect receivables & fewer days of inventory on hand. Exception = a current ratio can be high at times b/c of higher balances of receivables or inventory included in current assets that are result of uncollectible receivables or slow-moving inventory. This is why it"s important never to conclude an assessment of liquidity based only on 1 ratio. In the case of the current ratio, it should always be interpreted along with the receivables & inventory turnover ratios. Net cash provided (used) by operating activities net capital expenditures . Cash available from operating activities for discretionary purposes.
