Long-term solvency, or financial leverage, ratios for comparison purposes. Market value ratios: short-term solvency ratios- i(cid:374)te(cid:374)ded to p(cid:396)o(cid:448)ide i(cid:374)fo(cid:396)(cid:373)atio(cid:374) a(cid:271)out a fi(cid:396)(cid:373)"s li(cid:395)uidity, and these ratios are sometimes called liquidity measures. These ratios focus on current assets and current liabilities. Particularly interesting to short-term creditors: current ratio- one of the best known and most widely used ratios, current ratio = current assets/current liabilities. To the creditor, the higher the current ratio, the better. To the firm, a high current ratio indicates liquidity, but it also may indicate an inefficient use of cash and other short-term assets. Less than 1 means net working capital is negative. Expect to see current ratios of at least 1. Inventory is often the least liquid current asset: quick ratio = current assets-inventory / current liabilities, cash ratio = cash / current liabilities. Chapter 3: working with financial statements: net working capital to total assets = net working capital / total assets.
