“Current Ratio is a measure of general liquidity and is most widely used to
make the analysis for short term financial position or liquidity of a firm.”
A ratio equal to or near 2 : 1 is considered as a standard or normal or
satisfactory. The idea of having double the current assets as compared to
current liabilities is to provide for the delays and losses in the realization of
current assets.

Inventory turnover ratio (being calculated in next slides) of 3.4 is a good indication for
the company that it is able to convert its inventory into sales quite faster.
Hence, degree of liquidity for current assets is really high, and makes the company a
trusted choice for investors.

Ratio is not significantly satisfactory. It shows company has more amount of short
term liabilities and it’s maturity to meet short term obligations is less. Hence, an alert
flag for creditors.
Suggestion: Try to improve upon (minimize) the current liabilities and also look for
improving (maximize) the current assets.

Current Ratio
9. >

It measures the firm's capacity to pay off current obligations immediately and is
more rigorous test of liquidity than the current ratio.
>
It considers liquid assets i.e. current assets but not inventories and prepaid
expenses.
>
Reason for exclusion: Inventories cannot be termed as liquid assets because it
cannot be converted into cash immediately without a loss of value and same
way, prepaid expenses are also excluded from the list of liquid assets because
they are not expected to be converted into cash.

Here, almost 52% of current assets is as inventory. As mentioned earlier, Inventory
turnover ratio (being calculated in next slides) of 3.4 is a good indication for the
company that it is able to convert its inventory into sales quite faster. Hence, degree of
liquidity for current assets is really high, and hence again gives a reason for investors
to trust in the company.

quite high.

revealing the proportion of money left over from revenues after accounting for the

EBIT is not directly available in Balance Sheet. However, EBIT by meaning is Profit without consideration of Interest and
Tax. Balance sheet provides PBT i.e. Profit Before Tax, which has considered expenses incurred on Interest Payment. PBT
= Profit (Earning) Before Interest and Tax - Expenses on Interest Payment
Hence, adding back such expenses to PBT will give us EBIT. Therefore, EBIT = PBT + Interest Payment Expenses. *Interest
charges are part of Cash Flow statement.
