An accounting ratio compares two aspects of a financial statement, such as the relationship (or ratio) of current assets to current liabilities. The ratios can be used to evaluate the financial condition of a company, including the company's strengths and weaknesses. Examples of financial ratios include the gross margin ratio, operating margin ratio, the debt-to-equity ratio and the payout ratio. Each of these ratios requires the most recent data in order to be relevant.
The Accounting Ratios Report is used to print common industry recognized ratios.
Ratios included in the report are:
Current Ratio - Current assets divided by current liabilities.
Quick Ratio - Current assets less inventories divided by current liabilities.
Debt to Equity ratio - Total liabilities divided by equity
Working Capital ratio - Net working capital divided by assets
Inventory Turns ratio - Cost of Sales divided by inventory
