Ratio analysis:
In finance, a financial ratio or accounting ratio is a ratio of two selected numerical values
taken from an enterprise's financial statement. There are many standard ratios used to try to
evaluate the overall financial condition of a corporation or other organization. Financial ratios
may be used by managers within a firm, by current and potential shareholders of a firm, and
by a firm's creditors. Security analyst use financial ratios to compare the strengths and
weaknesses in various companies. If shares in a company are traded in financial markets, the
market price of the shares is used in certain financial ratios.
Financial ratios quantify many aspects of a business and are an integral part of financial
statement analysis. Financial ratios are categorized according to the financial aspect of the
business which the ratio measures. Liquidity ratios measure the availability of cash to pay
debt. Activity ratios measure how quickly a firm converts non-cash assets to cash assets. Debt
ratios measure the firm's ability to repay long-term debt. Profitability ratios measure the
firm's use of its assets and control of its expenses to generate an acceptable rate of return.
Market ratios measure investor response to owning a company's stock and also the cost of
issuing stock.

The cash ratio indicates to creditors, analysts, and investors the percentage of a company’s
current liabilities that cash and cash equivalents will cover. A ratio above 1 means that a
company will be able to pay off its current liabilities with cash and cash equivalents, and
have funds left over.
Although there is no ideal figure, a ratio of not lower than 0.5 to 1 is usually preferred.

Long term debt ratio:
=0.49times
Interpretation:
A long-term debt ratio of 0.5 or less is a broad standard of what is healthy, although that
number can vary by the industry
A high ratio usually indicates a higher degree of business risk because the company must
meet principal and interest on its obligations. Potential creditors are reluctant to give
financing to a company with a high debt position. However, the magnitude of debt depends
on the type of business. For example, a bank may have a high debt ratio but its assets are
generally liquid. A utility can afford a higher ratio than a manufacturer because its earnings
are more stable.
= 0.35 times
Interpretation:
A higher times interest earned ratio is favorable because it means that the company presents
less of a risk to investors and creditors in terms of solvency. From an investor or creditor's
perspective, an organization that has at times interest earned ratio greater than 2.5 is
considered an acceptable risk. Companies that have a times interest earned ratio of less than
2.5 are considered a much higher risk for bankruptcy or default and, therefore, financially
unstable.

A high turnover ratio shows that management is being very efficient in using a company’s
short-term assets and liabilities for supporting sales .In contrast, a low ratio may indicate
that a business is investing in too many accounts receivable and inventory to support its
sales, which could lead to an excessive amount of bad debts or obsolete inventory.

A high ratio indicates that a company efficiently uses its fixed assets to generate
sales, whereas a low ratio indicates that the firm does not efficiently use its fixed
assets to generate sales. Investors use the ratio to determine their return on
investment (ROI), and creditors use it to assess how well a company can repay loans
used to purchase equipment.
