Let us look at some examples. A company may raise capital by issuing stocks or bonds to investors providing necessary funds for operations and expansion. Conversely paying dividends to shareholders returns capital to them. Repaying loans is another vital aspect of financing activities.

The higher the current ratio the stronger the company's ability to meet its short-term liabilities. Let's now move on to our next slide..

[Audio] In this presentation we'll be covering corporate financial statements and the significance of the Quick Ratio. This ratio is essential for assessing a company's immediate financial stability. To calculate it you deduct inventory from current assets and divide the remainder by current liabilities.

[Audio] Students our topic for today is Corporate Financial Statements. This is slide number 37 out of 46 and we will be discussing a specific profitability ratio the Gross Profit Margin.

Let's continue to the next slide to delve deeper into this concept..

[Audio] Good morning students today we will be learning about the Interest Coverage Ratio an important solvency ratio used by companies to assess their ability to meet their interest obligations. This ratio is calculated by dividing a company's E-B-I-T (Earnings Before Interest and Taxes) by its Interest Expense. The resulting number shows how many times a company's operating income can cover its interest payments giving investors and lenders a better understanding of a company's financial stability and debt management. Remember to compare the ratio with industry averages for a more accurate analysis. Let's now move on to our next slide..

[Audio] We will be discussing earnings per share or E-P-S an important financial ratio used to evaluate a company's profitability. E-P-S is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average shares outstanding and shows the portion of a company's profit allocated to each outstanding share of common stock. This ratio is useful for investors in understanding expected earnings per share.
