Correct Answer:

Operating Ratio

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 1 - Operating Ratio.

Operating ratio is computed to analyse cost of operation in relation to revenue from operations. It is calculated as follows: Operating Ratio = (Cost of Revenue from Operations + Operating Expenses)/ Net Revenue from Operations ×100.

Operating expenses include office expenses, administrative expenses, selling expenses, distribution expenses, depreciation and employee benefit expenses etc.
Cost of operation is determined by excluding non-operating incomes and expenses such as loss on sale of assets, interest paid, dividend received, loss by fire, speculation gain and so on.
