in the year 199.
The term 'ratio' refers to the mathematical relationship between any two inter!
related ariables. #n other words$ it establishes relationship between two items
expressed in %uantitatie form.
According &. atty$ Ratio can be defined as "the term accounting ratio is used todescribe significant relationships which exist between figures shown in a balance
sheet and profit and loss account in a budgetary control system or any other part of
the accounting management."

often the terminology used by accountants is part of the problem. )(inancial ratio
analysis* sounds pretty complicated. #n fact$ it is not. Thin+ of it as )battingaerages for business.*
The use of financial ratios is a time!tested method of analy,ing a business. Wall
