    Question Description
    Discussion Question:

    Ratios calculated and presented without interpretations are meaningless. However, extreme care is required while interpreting ratios results. Interpretation varies with respect to the industries under study due to which interpreting a situation accurately becomes more difficult.



    Consider the following scenarios.



    Current ratio of a departmental store is 2 times however its quick ratio is 0.20 times. Interpret (in terms of favorable/unfavorable) its liquidity position along with logic.
    The debt ratios of a manufacturing company and a banking company are 0.80 and 0.65 respectively. Interpret the leverage positions for both of the companies.
