Why do companies use financial ratios and what do they help you to determine?
Financial ratios are used to compare any two entities in the financial statements of enterprises. Calculating such ratios for current year and comparing them with the past year helps to determine the progress made by it. For e.g. last years Gross Profit Margin might be 10% but current year will be 15% indicating a higher sales or lower cost etc.
