Understand what each financial ratio means

The current ratio compares short-term assets with short-term liabilities to show whether a business may be able to cover near-term obligations. The debt-to-equity ratio compares liabilities with owner funding to show how much the business relies on debt versus equity.

Gross profit margin shows how much of each sales amount remains after direct costs. Net profit margin goes further by showing how much profit remains after overall expenses. These profit margin measures can help you review cost control and operating performance.

Return on assets compares profit with total assets to show how effectively a business is using its resources. Together, these ratios support a clearer view of liquidity, debt, profitability, and overall financial analysis.
