Key Points: Concept of Ratio

  • A ratio is a mathematical expression of the relationship between two related figures, calculated by dividing one number by another.
  • Accounting ratios are used to evaluate a business's financial position and performance based on data from financial statements.
  • Ratios can be expressed in four forms: pure (e.g., 2:1), percentage (e.g., 25%), times (e.g., 5 times), and fraction (e.g., 4/5).
  • Ratios are meaningful only when figures are compared, such as profit to capital employed, not when viewed in isolation.
  • Ratio analysis helps interpret figures such as the current ratio, gross profit ratio, and turnover ratio to assess efficiency and profitability.
