- Can be used to show relationships among items of financial statement data
- Expressed in terms of percentages, rates or proportions
Profitability Ratios
- Measure operating success of an entity for a given time period
Return on assets
- Indicates amount of net profit generated by each dollar invested in assets
-
Profit margin
- Indicates amount of net generated by each dollar of sales
-
Liquidity Ratios
- Measures short-term ability of entity to pay its maturing obligations and to
meet unexpected needs for cash
Current ratio
- Indicates how much current assets exceeds current liabilities on a dollar-for-
dollar basis (rule of thumb is normally 1:5:1).
-
Solvency Ratios
- Measures ability of entity to survive over a long period of time
Debt to total assets ratio
- Measures percentage of assets financed by creditors rather than stakeholders
- The higher the ratio, the greater the risk that entity may be unable to pay its
debts as they become due

Measures short-term ability of entity to pay its maturing obligations and to meet unexpected needs for cash. Indicates how much current assets exceeds current liabilities on a dollar-for- dollar basis (rule of thumb is normally 1:5:1). Measures ability of entity to survive over a long period of time. Measures percentage of assets financed by creditors rather than stakeholders. The higher the ratio, the greater the risk that entity may be unable to pay its debts as they become due.
