Key Accounting Formulas

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities Quick Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities Cash Ratio = Cash / Current Liabilities

Profitability Ratios

Profitability ratios measure a company's ability to generate earnings. Key formulas include:

Gross Profit Margin = (Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold) / Revenue Net Profit Margin = Net Income / Revenue Return on Assets = Net Income / Total Assets Return on Equity = Net Income / Shareholders' Equity

Leverage Ratios

Debt Ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets Debt to Equity Ratio = Total Liabilities / Shareholders' Equity Interest Coverage Ratio = EBIT / Interest Expense

Example Calculation

Let's calculate the current ratio for a company with:

Current Assets = $500,000
Current Liabilities = $200,000

The current ratio would be calculated as:

Current Ratio = $500,000 / $200,000 = 2.5

A current ratio of 2.5 indicates the company has good short-term liquidity.
