Financial/Solvency Ratios:
Current Assets
Current Ratio
Current Liabilitie s
An ideal current ratio is ‘2’. However, a ratio of 1.5 is also
acceptable if the firm has adequate arrangements with its bankers
to meet its short-term requirements of funds.
Liquid Assets
Liquidity Ratio
Current Liabilitie s
Some accountants prefer the term liquid liabilities for current liabilities.
The term ‘liquid liabilities’ means liabilities payable within a short
period. Bank overdraft and cash credit facilities (if they become
permanent modes of financing) are excluded from current liabilities for
this purpose. The ratio may be expressed as follows:
Liquid Assets
Liquidity Ratio The ideal ratio is
Liquid Liabilitie s ‘1’.
Shareholder’s Funds
Proprietar y Ratio
Total Tangible Assets
Significance: The ratio focuses attention on the general
financial strength of the business enterprise. The ratio is
of particular importance to the creditors who can find
out the proportion of shareholders funds in the total
assets employed in the business. A high proprietary
ratio will indicate a relatively little danger to the creditors

Significance. The ratio helps in determining the
efficiency with which the affairs of a business are
being managed. Constant increase in the above ratio
year after year is a definite indication of improving
conditions of the business.

Overall Turnover Ratio
Capital Employed
Significance. The overall profitability of a business depends
on two factors, viz, (a) the profit margin, and (b)turnover. The
profit margin is disclosed by the net profit ratio while the
turnover is indicated by the overall turnover ratio. A business
with a lower profit margin can achieve a higher ROI if its
turnover is high. This is the reason for wholesalers earning a
larger return on their investment even when they have a lower
profit margin. A business should not, therefore, increase its
profit
