Financial Ratios Formulae
1. Profit Margins: They compare the net income to sales and measure the ability of
a co. to generate profit from its sales. A higher ratio indicates a greater ability to
generate profits from sales.
3. Return on Assets: It compares the net income to average total assets and measures
the ability of a co. to generate profit from its entire resource base and not just
provided by owners.
4. Earnings per share: It represents the return on each share owned by an investor.
5. Price-Earnings Ratio: It compares the net income to the current market price of a
company’s share. It indicates the confidence of the investors in the future growth
prospects of a company. Generally, a higher PE Multiple shows that investors are
optimistic about the performance of the company.
6. Current Ratio: It compares assets that can be turned into cash within one year to
the liabilities which have to be paid within one year. Neither a very high current
ratio nor a very low ratio is desirable. A large current ratio is not a satisfactory
measure of liquidity when inventories constitute a major part of current assets. A
company should maintain just the adequate amount of current assets and should
focus towards more productive investments.
7. Quick Ratio /Acid-test Ratio: It compares a company’s cash and near-cash assets
to the liabilities which have to be paid within one year. Since inventory is a sticky
asset, it is excluded from current assets to arrive at quick assets.
9. Inventory Turnover Ratio: It reveals how many times in a period the company is
able to sell its inventory balance.

10. Financial Leverage: It is the degree to which a company obtains capital through
debt rather than equity in an attempt to increase returns to shareholders.
11. Capital Structure: It refers to the manner in which a company has financed its
assets- either through debt or equity. Therefore, it is an indication of how much
financial leverage a company is using.
12. Debt to Assets Ratio: It is measures the percentage of assets financed through
borrowed funds.
13. Debt to Equity Ratio: It measures a company’s capital structure and financial
leverage. A higher debt to equity ratio indicates a highly leveraged, riskier capital
structure and therefore a greater risk of insolvency.
14. Interest Coverage Ratio/Times Interest Earned Ratio: It measures the capacity of
a company to pay interest out of current earnings.
15. Debt Service Coverage Ratio: It is a measure of the cash flow available to pay
current debt obligations. Debt obligations due within one year may include
interest payment, principal repayment and lease payments.
