Understanding Financial Performance Ratios

Financial Performance Ratios

Definition: comparisons of a company's financial elements that indicate how well the business is performing

Ex: Current Ratio Return on Equity Ratio

Debt to Equity Ratio Net Income

The current ratio compares the value of current assets with the amount of current liabilities. Put even more simply, the current ratio is a ratio of money immediately on hand to money immediately owed: the higher the ratio, the more liquid the company. (this tells you if the business can pay its debts)

The current ratio should be at least 1:1 for a healthy business. This means there are at least as many current assets as current liabilities.

Current Ratio

Multiple Choice

• 1:2

Multiple Choice

When finished, move forward to answer the questions.

This ratio tells how much the business is relying on money borrowed from others that will have to be paid back (debt) rather than money provided by the owners. The higher the debt equity, the more risky a company’s financial position.

Most banks want to see a debt to equity ratio of about 1:1 but no higher than 2:1.

A larger debt-equity ratio means more of a company’s value (equity) is derived from long-term financial obligations that may or may not be paid off in the future.

When finished, move forward to answer the questions.

The Return on Equity Ratio shows the rate of return the owners are getting on the money the invested in the company. (what percent of ownership returns as profits) In other words, a highly efficient company would have a very high return on equity: a little equity would produce a large income. On the other hand, the lower the return on equity, the less efficient the company. A low return on equity means that the company needs many resources (lots of equity) to produce even a modest return (i.e. income).

Return on Equity Ratio

Multiple Choice

The lower the return on equity, the more efficient the company.

• True

• False
