Ratio analysis
It is the financial analysis tool for measuring the profitability, liquidity, capability and overall performance of a company.
Following are the two measures of liquidity:
- 1.
Current ratio : Current ratio is used to determine the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. The ideal current ratio is 2:1. - 2. Quick ratio: Quick ratio measures the immediate debt paying capacity of a business, which can be measured by dividing quick assets by the current liabilities. Quick assets represent cash, readily marketable securities, and
accounts receivable . - 3.
Working capital : Total current assets minus total current liabilities are the working capital of a company.
To Explain: That the working capital is a good measure of relative liquidity in comparing the two companies.

- Forecasted Statements and Ratios Upton Computers makes bulk purchases of small computers, stocks them in conveniently located warehouses, ships them to its chain of retail stores, and has a staff to advise customers and help them set up their new computers. Upton's balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, is shown here (millions of dollars): $ Cash Receivables Inventories Total current assets Net fixed assets million % $ 3.5 Accounts payable 26.0 Notes payable 58.0 Line of credit $35.5 6.0 15.0 66.0 Total assets $122.5 $122.5 Sales for 2021 were $350 million, and net income for the year was $10.5 million, so the firm's profit margin was 3.0%. Upton paid dividends of $4.2 million to common stockholders, so its payout ratio was 40%. Its tax rate was 25%, and it operated at full capacity.
