Ratio Analysis

Describe how a bank lending officer might use ratio analysis. Select five ratios that would be most useful for the purpose and explain the rationale for your selection.

Current Ratio - helps creditors determine if a company can meet its short-term obligations. Bank lenders use this ratio to help better determine their current and previous history on short-term obligations. For example, short term loan.
Debt to Equity - The debt/equity ratio is a leverage ratio that represents what amount of debt and equity is being used to finance a company's assets. If a company’s debt is too high or debt to equity ratio is too high then it would tell the lender that the company has a lot of financing or debt into its assets.
Return on Assets – Measures the company’s success in using its assets to earn income for owners and creditors. Profits or income for a company means money that can be paid to the owners and/or creditors for debt that is owed.
Asset Turnover – measures how efficiently a company uses its assets. Some creditors and/or lenders will audit a company to determine if a company is using all of its assets to achieve as much profit as possible.
Profit Margin – To measure the amount from each dollar of sales that is bottom-line profit. The reason for my selection of this ratio is to show lenders how much net income is actually coming in after all expenses.
