Ratio Analysis: Balance Sheet Ratios

Ratio analysis is a tool used to analyze financial statements by computing and presenting relationships between financial figures. There are three main types of accounting ratios: pure ratios that show a simple division of two numbers, percentages that express figures as a percentage of another for easier comparison, and rates that show figures as a number of turnovers over a period. Some key financial ratios analyzed from balance sheets include the current ratio, quick ratio, stock to working capital ratio, and proprietary ratio. Important ratios analyzed from income statements include the gross profit ratio, net profit ratio, operating ratio, and expense ratio.
