In this category, we cover all the important ratios, analyses and graphs relevant to gauge the working-capital and liquidity management and efficiency.


Working Capital, often also called Net Working Capital, is current assets- comprised of cash, debtor, inventory and other current assets- minus current liabilities, which is comprised of accounts or payable, income tax payable, short-term debt and other current liabilities. All these components have been expressed in terms of number of days of sales.
