Current Ratio: The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's willingness to pay short- term or due debt within one year.

The existing ratio compares all of a corporation's current assets with its current liabilities. Usually these are defined as (Kenton, W. 2020, January 29).

Group Project III: United Airlines trend details. Large current ratios do not always represent a good sign for investors. If the current ratio of the company is too high it may indicate that the company does not use its current assets or short-term financing facilities effectively. If net assets are surpassed, the current ratio will be less than 1 (Kenton, W. 2020, January 29). According to the above comparison between United and Delta Airlines, It is clear that United has a higher current ratio than Delta when the current ratio is taken as reference. 2. Debt Ratio: The debt ratio is a financial ratio that measures the extent of the leverage a business has. The debt ratio, expressed as a decimal or percentage, is known as the ratio of total debt to total assets. It can be defined as the debt-financed proportion of a company's assets (Hayes, A. 2020, January 29). A ratio greater than 1 shows a significant portion of the debt is financed by cash. Or put it another way, the company has more liabilities than assets. A high ratio also indicates that a company may be putting itself at a risk of default on its loans if interest rates were to rise suddenly. A ratio below 1 translates to the fact that a greater portion of a company's assets is funded by equity (Hayes, A. 2020, January 29). 3. Gross profit margin: The gross profit margin is a financial metric employed to assess a company's financial safety. This means the proportion of the remaining funds after the elimination of the cost of goods sold from the revenue figures. The higher the amount of the gross profit margin, the more funds are available for reinvesting, saving and/or covering expenses.
