Accounting Ratios

Question:
Higher the ratio, more favourable it is. This is generally not applicable for which of the following ratio ?
Options:
Operating Ratio
Liquidity Ratio
Net Profit Ratio
Stock Turnover ratio
Correct Answer:
Operating Ratio
Explanation:
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
. Thus, higher operating ratio will imply higher expenses which in turn means less profit. Hence, the answer is Option 1.
