As indicated in the chapter, we can classify ratios into three
types for analysis of the primary financial statements:
1. Liquidity ratios. Measures of the short‐term ability of the
company to pay its maturing obligations and to meet unexpected
needs for cash.
2. Solvency ratios. Measures of the ability of the company to
survive over a long period of time.
3. Profitability ratios. Measures of the income or operating
success of a company for a given period of time.
As a tool of analysis, ratios can provide clues to underlying
conditions that may not be apparent from an inspection of the
individual components of a particular ratio. But, a single ratio
by itself is not very meaningful. Accordingly, in this discussion
we use the following three comparisons. (Tools for Business
Decision Making, p.666)
· What are the most important ratios from the 3 categories and
why?
The most important ratio under Liquidity Ratio is Current ratio
because it expresses the relationship of current assets to current
liabilities.
The most important ratio under the Solvency ratio is Debt to
asset ratio because it measures the percentage of total financing
provided by creditors.
The most important ratio under Profitability ratio is
Profitability ratio because this ratio measures the income or
operating success of a company for a given period of time.

Ratio analysis is used to evaluate a company’s liquidity,
solvency and profitability by comparing line items (e.g. cash,
inventory, short-term debt, etc.) in the financial statements.
There are three categories of ratios: liquidity, solvency and
profitability ratios; these are composed of a series of equations
that help analyze the data in each category.
Liquidity ratios measures the company’s ability to pay its short-
term obligations. It can be used by the company to measure its
financial health. The most important (and most used) liquidity
ratio is the quick ratio (or acid-test ratio); it will help investors
and lenders to decide whether to invest in the company.
On the other hand, solvency ratios measure the company’s
ability to pay its long-term obligations. It helps the company to
measure how much debt is supporting the business and/or
decide whether to finance operations with debt or equity. The
most commonly used solvency ratio is the debt to equity ratio
which provides warning to lenders (if a company has a
significant amount of debt it might not be able to pay its
obligations).
Finally, we have profitability ratios which determines the
ability of a company to create profit. This ratio can be used by
the company to compare it with others in the industry as well as
to look for trends in order to budget and forecast. Gross profit
margin is the most important profitability ratio. It shows how
much a company is making on profit taking into consideration
the production cost also assessing the company’s performance.
