The profitability ratios like net profit margin and return on equity increased from 2006 to 2008. The liquidity ratios like current ratio fluctuated from 2006 to 2008, being highest in 2008 at 1.22, meaning the company had $1.22 in current assets for every $1 in current liabilities.

THE IMPORTANCE OF RATIOS
Ratios are convenient and uniform measures that are
widely adopted in healthcare financial management.
They are important because they are so widely used, es-
pecially because they are used for credit analysis. But a
ratio is only a number. It has to be considered within the
context of the operation. There is another caveat: ratio
analysis should be conducted as a comparative analysis. In
other words, one ratio standing alone with nothing to
compare it with does not mean very much. When inter-
preting ratios, the differences between periods must be
considered, and the reasons for such differences should
be sought. It is a good practice to compare results with
equivalent computations from outside the organization—
regional figures from similar institutions would be a good
example of such outside sources. Caution and good man-
agerial judgment must always be exercised when working
with ratios.
Financial ratios basically pull together two elements of
the financial statements: one expressed as the numerator
and one as the denominator. To calculate a ratio, divide
the bottom number (the denominator) into the top
number (the numerator). The Case Study in Appendix
25-A entitled “Using Financial Ratios and Benchmark-
ing: A Case Study in Comparative Analysis” uses financial
ratios as indicators of financial position. We highly rec-
ommend that you spend time with this Case Study, as it
will add depth and background to the contents of this
chapter.
In this chapter we examine liquidity, solvency, and
profitability ratios. Exhibit 11-1 sets out eight basic ratios
After completing this chapter,
you should be able to
1. Understand four types of
liquidity ratios.
2. Understand two types of
solvency ratios.
3. Understand two types of
profitability ratios.
4. Successfully compute ratios.
