Accounting Ratios (MR Kaybee)

1. Ratio analysis involves comparing financial ratios to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a company. Key ratios include profitability, liquidity, efficiency, and investment ratios. 2. Profitability ratios measure a company's ability to generate profitable sales from its resources. Examples included gross profit percentage and return on capital employed. 3. Liquidity ratios indicate a company's ability to pay short-term debts, and include the current ratio and quick ratio. The current ratio compares current assets to current liabilities.
