The current ratio indicates a company's ability to meet short-term debt

Liabilities to Shareholders’ Equity

It measures a company's ability to repay its obligations. If the ratio is

increasing, the company is being financed by creditors rather than from its

own financial sources which may be a dangerous trend. Lenders and investors

usually prefer low debt-to-equity ratios because their interests are better

protected in the event of a business decline. Thus, companies with high debt-

to-equity ratios may not be able to attract additional lending capital.
