A. Liquidity Ratios:
(i) Current Ratio: Current Assets/Current Liabilities

Current Liabilities = Short-term borrowings + Trade payables + Other Current Liabilities + Short-term Provisions
(ii) Quick Ratio / Liquid Ratio:
Quick Assets/Current Liabilities
Or
All Current Assets - Inventories (excluding Loose Tools and Spare Parts) - Prepaid Expenses/Current Liabilities
OR
Liquid Assets/Current Liabilities
B. Solvency Ratios:
a. Debt to Equity Ratio:
Debt / Long-Term Debt/Equity / Shareholders' Funds
Debt = Long TermBorrowings + Long Term Provisions Equity /Shareholders’Funds = Share Capital + Reserves and Surplus
Or
Non-Current Assets + (CurrentAssets – Current Liabilities) - Non-Current Liabilities
= Non-Current Assets + Working Capital - Non-Current Liabilities
= (Tangible Assets + Intangible Assets + Non Current Investments + Long Term Loans and Advances) + Working Capital–(Long Term Borrowings + Long Term Provisions)
b. Proprietary Ratio:
Shareholders Funds, EquityTotal/Assets
Total Assets = Non-Current Assets + Current Assets = Tangible Assets + Intangible Assets + Non-Current Investments + Long Term Loans and Advances + Current Investments + Inventories (including Loose Tools and Spare Parts) + Trade Receivables + Cash and Bank Balance + Short-term Loans and Advances + Other Current Assets
c. Debt to Total Assets Ratio:
Debt/Total Assets
d. Interest coverage ratio = Net profit before interest and taxes/Interest
Interest includes interest on only long-term borrowings.
C. Activity Ratios:
(i) Trade Receivable Turnover Ratio = Credit Revenue from Operation/Average Trade Receivable
Credit Revenue from Operation = Revenue from Operation–Cash Revenue from Operation
Average Trade Receivables = Opening Trade Receivable Closing TradeReceivable / 2
(ii) Trade Payable Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Purchases/Average Trade Payable
Average Trade Payables = Opening Trade Payable Closing Trade Payable/2
(iii) Working Capital Turnover Ratio = Revenue from Operations/Working Capital
(iv) Inventory Turnover Ratio = (Cost of Goods Sold/Cost of Revenue from Operation) / Average Inventory
Cost of goods sold = Opening Stock + Net Purchases + Direct Expenses – Closing Stock
Cost of Revenue from Operations = Revenue from Operations – Gross Profit
Or
Costof Material Consumed (including direct expenses) + Change in inventories of WIP and Finished Goods
Or
Opening Inventory + Net Purchases + Direct Expenses – Closing inventory
Average Inventory = Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory/2
D. Profitability Ratios:
(i) Gross Profit Ratio: (Gross Profit/Revenue from Operations) * 100
Gross Profit = Revenue from Operations – Cost of Revenue from Operations/ Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of Revenue from Operations = Cost of Material Consumed (including direct expenses) + Change in inventories of WIP and Finished Goods.
Or
Opening Inventory + Net Purchases + Direct Expenses – Closing inventory
(ii) Net Profit Ratio: = (Net Profit/ Revenue from Operations) × 100
Net Profit = Gross profit + Other Income – Indirect Expenses –Tax
(iii) Operating Ratio: [(Cost of Revenue from Operations/Cost of Goods Sold + Operating Expenses)/Revenue from Operations] * 100
Or
[(Cost of Revenue from Operations + Operating Expenses - Operating Income)/Revenue from Operations] * 100
Operating Expenses = Employee Benefit Expenses + Depreciation of Tangible Assets + Selling and Distribution Expenses + Office and Administrative Expense.
Operating Income = Commission received, cash discount received.
(iv) Operating Profit Ratio: Net Operating Profit ×100/Revenue from Operations
Net operating profit = Net Profit after Tax+ Non - Operating Expenses – Non-Operating Incomes
Or
Gross Profit – Operating Expenses + Operating Incomes
Non-Operating Expenses = Finance Cost (Interest on Borrowings) + Loss on sale of Non-Current Assets + Amortisation of Intangible Assets + Writing off capital losses.
Non-Operating Incomes = Interest and Dividend Received on Investment + Profit on sale of Non-Current Assets.
NOTE :
1. Current Ratio includes Net Debtors (Gross Debtors – Provision for doubtful debts) while Trade Receivables Turnover Ratio includes Gross Debtors.
2. ‘Other Current Assets’ is restricted to Prepaid Expenses and Accrued Income.
3. Capital employed = Shareholders’ Funds + Non-current Liabilities – Non-trade Investments
OR
Non-current Assets (excluding Non-trade Investments) + Working Capital
OR
Fixed Assets + Trade Investments + Working Capital
4. Investments are to be taken as non-trade investments unless specified as trade investments.
5. In Return on Investments Ratio- Net Profit before interest and tax will not include interest on non-trade
investments.
