Calculation And Understanding Of Accounting Ratios
Übersicht
A set of financial statements is full of figures, but a figure on its own rarely tells you whether a business is doing well. A profit of $15 000 sounds healthy until you learn the owner has tied up $1 000 000 to earn it. Accounting ratios solve this by setting one figure against another, turning raw numbers into percentages, proportions and time periods that can be read at a glance and compared fairly.
In this lesson you will learn to calculate and understand the ratios Cambridge asks for again and again: the profitability ratios (gross margin, profit margin and return on capital employed), the liquidity ratios (current and acid test), and the efficiency measures (rate of inventory turnover, trade receivables turnover and trade payables turnover). Each one comes with its formula, a worked calculation and the meaning behind it, so you can not only find the number but explain what it tells you.
