NATURE OF RATIO ANALYSIS#
A ratio is defined as Qthe indicated 8uotient of t!o mathematical eEpressions and as
the relationship but t!o or more thin#s$ In financial analysis, a ratio is used as an
indeE or yardstic" for e&aluation the financial analysis, a ratio is used as an indeE or
firm$ (he absolute accountin# fi#ures reported in the financial statements do not
pro&ide meanin#ful understandin# of the performance and financial position of a firm$
An accountin# fi#ure con&eys meanin# !hen it is related to some other rele&ant
information$ (he relationship bet!een t!o accountin# fi#ures eEpressed
mathematically, is "no!n as a financial ratio$ A ratio helps to ma"e 8ualitati&e
jud#ement about the firmIs financial it is calculated by di&idin# current assets by
current liabilities$ (his relationship is anj indeE or yardstic" !hich permits a
8ualitati&e jud#ement to be formed about the firmIs li8uidity and &ice &ersa $ (he
point to note is that this ration indicates a 8uantitati&e relationship, !hich can be, in

STANDARDS OF COMPARISON#
(he ratio analysis in&ol&es comparison for a useful interpretation of the financial
statement$ A sin#le ration in itself does not indicate fa&ourable or unfa&ourable
condition$ It should be compared !ith some standared$ .tandards of comparison may
consist of<

past ratios !ith future sho!s the firmIs relati&e stren#ths and !ea"ness in the past and
the future$ If the future ratios indicated !ea" financial position, correcti&e action
should be initiated$
Another !ay of comparison os to computer the ratios of one firm !ith some selected
firms in the same industry at the same point in time$ In most of cases, it is more useful
to compare the firmIs ratio !ith the ratio of a fe! carefully selected competitions !ho

LI4UIDITY RATIOS#
It is eEtremely essential for a firm to be able to its obli#ations as they become due$
Li8uidity ratios measure the ability of the firm to meet its current obli#ations$
Infact, analysis of li8uidity needs the preparation of cash and other current assets to
current obli#ations, pro&ide a 8uic" measure of li8uidity$ A firm should ensure that
it does not too much hi#h in li8uid$ (he failure jof a company to meet its
obli#ations, due to lac" of sufficient li8uidity, !ill result in bad credit ima#e, loss of
creditors confidence$ A &ery hi#h de#ree of li8uidity is also bad@ idle assets earn

creditors, li"e debenture holders, financial institutions etc$, are more concerned !ith
the firmIs lon# term financial stren#th$ (o jud#e the lon# term financial position of the

ratios are employed to e&aluate the efficiency !ith !hich the firm mana#er and utilises

NATURE OF RATIO ANALYSIS#
A ratio is defined as Qthe indicated 8uotient of t!o mathematical eEpressions and as
the relationship but t!o or more thin#s$ In financial analysis, a ratio is used as an
indeE or yardstic" for e&aluation the financial analysis, a ratio is used as an indeE or
firm$ (he absolute accountin# fi#ures reported in the financial statements do not
pro&ide meanin#ful understandin# of the performance and financial position of a firm$
An accountin# fi#ure con&eys meanin# !hen it is related to some other rele&ant
information$ (he relationship bet!een t!o accountin# fi#ures eEpressed
mathematically, is "no!n as a financial ratio$ A ratio helps to ma"e 8ualitati&e
jud#ement about the firmIs financial it is calculated by di&idin# current assets by
current liabilities$ (his relationship is anj indeE or yardstic" !hich permits a
8ualitati&e jud#ement to be formed about the firmIs li8uidity and &ice &ersa $ (he
point to note is that this ration indicates a 8uantitati&e relationship, !hich can be, in

STANDARDS OF COMPARISON#
(he ratio analysis in&ol&es comparison for a useful interpretation of the financial
statement$ A sin#le ration in itself does not indicate fa&ourable or unfa&ourable
condition$ It should be compared !ith some standared$ .tandards of comparison may
consist of<

!hether the firmIs financial constant o&er time$
.ome times future ratios are used as the standard of comparison$ -uture ratios can be

past ratios !ith future sho!s the firmIs relati&e stren#ths and !ea"ness in the past and
the future$ If the future ratios indicated !ea" financial position, correcti&e action
should be initiated$
Another !ay of comparison os to computer the ratios of one firm !ith some selected
firms in the same industry at the same point in time$ In most of cases, it is more useful
to compare the firmIs ratio !ith the ratio of a fe! carefully selected competitions !ho

LI4UIDITY RATIOS#
It is eEtremely essential for a firm to be able to its obli#ations as they become due$
Li8uidity ratios measure the ability of the firm to meet its current obli#ations$
Infact, analysis of li8uidity needs the preparation of cash and other current assets to
current obli#ations, pro&ide a 8uic" measure of li8uidity$ A firm should ensure that
it does not too much hi#h in li8uid$ (he failure jof a company to meet its
obli#ations, due to lac" of sufficient li8uidity, !ill result in bad credit ima#e, loss of

creditors, li"e debenture holders, financial institutions etc$, are more concerned !ith
the firmIs lon# term financial stren#th$ (o jud#e the lon# term financial position of the
