Financial ratios are a fundamental analysis tools used to appteciate evaluate the financial stability of companies. The information data needed to calculate them is found in on balance sheets and income statements.
I used a set of various ratios in my research. I will tell you about the most important of them.
1)The cash ratio is the ratio of a company's total cash and cash equivalents to its current liabilities. It can determine how quickly the company can repay its short-term debt. Standard value is from 0,2 to 0,5.
At the chart you can see that the cash ratio shows that is 43% in 2011 43% of the current liabilities This can be interprered as can extinguished by the means having absolute liquidity (value of factor 0,43), that is money, securities with a maturity date till one year. In Karavay PLC from 2009 to 2010 the cash ratio was 0,03. that It is possible to explain this as a consequences of financial crisis. Now the enterprise improved its financial condition.
2) The quick ratio is also an indicator of a company's short-term liquidity. The quick ratio measures a company's ability to meet its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets. The higher the quick ratio, the better the position of the company. Standard value is from 0,7 to 1,0.
The quick ratio shows that 134 % of short-term obligations of Karavay PLC can be immediately extinguished by the means of debtors on various accounts, by short-term securities and also by receivables. The ratio has admissible value (not less than 0,7). But thus optimum value =1, and in 2011 it is more because of strong growth of receivables. Now it makes 61 % of current assets.
Such a structure with a high share level of debt and low level of cash can testify to an unsuccessful condition of calculations of Karavay's unsuccessful condition PLS with consumers.
And its increase can be caused by the problems connected with related to the payment of funding for the production of the enterprise, or active granting the consumer credit to buyers. So we have money but we can't use them it somehow.
3) The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations. Unlike the quick ratio it includes inventories.
Standard value is above 1,5.
The current ratio shows that Karavay PLC in 2011 can extinguish all current obligations, having mobilized all its current assets.
