assistance to predict the future.

Similarly, the ratio analysis may be able to locate the point out the various areas which needs the management attention in order to improve the situation. E.g. current ratio which shows a constant decline trend may be indicate the need for further introduction of long term finance in order to increase the liquidity position. As the ratio analysis is concerned with all the aspect of the firms financial analysis liquidity, solvency, activity, profitability and overall performance, it enables the interested persons to know the financial and operational characteristics of an organization and take suitable decisions.

which can be expressed in financial terms are considered by the ratio analysis. The technique of ratio analysis has certain limitation of use in the sense that it only highlights the strong or problem arias; it does not provide any solution to rectify the problem areas.
