Current Ratio=Current assetsCurrent liabilities

Acid test ratio: Acid test ration is also called Quick ratio. This ratio is calculated by dividing the quick assets (Cash, Cash equivalents, Short term investments and current receivables) by total current liabilities for the year. The formula for Acid test ratio is as follows:

Acid test ratio = (Cash + Cash equivalents + Short term investments + Accounts receivables) Current Liabilities

Accounts receivable turnover ratio: This is an efficiency ratio that indicates the conversion of accounts receivable into cash. This ratio is calculated by dividing the Net credit Sales by the Average accounts receivable. The formula to calculate this ratio is as follows:

Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Net credit SalesAverage accounts receivable

Days Sales in receivable ratio: This is an efficiency ratio that indicates the period for which credit sales remain as receivable. The ratio is calculated by dividing 365 days by the Accounts receivable turnover ratio. The formula to calculate this ratio is as follows:

Days Sales in receivable ratio= 365Accounts receivable turnover ratio

Inventory Turnover Ratio: Inventory Turnover Ratio measures the efficiency of the company in converting its inventory into sales. It is calculated by dividing the Cost of goods sold by Average inventory. The formula of the Inventory Turnover Ratio is as follows:

Inventory Turnover Ratio=Cost of goods soldAverage inventory

Note: Average inventory is calculated with the help of following formula:

Average inventory=(Beginning inventory + Ending inventory)2

Day’s sales in inventory: Days sales in inventory represent the number of days the inventory waits for the sale. It is calculated by dividing the 365 days by Inventory Turnover Ratio. The formula of the Days sales in inventory is as follows:

Days sales in inventory=365Inventory Turnover Ratio

Profit Margin Ratio:

Profit Margin = Net IncomeSales
