Or To compare the ratios of one firm with those of similar firms or with industry averages at the same point in time is called External Comparisons. Similarity is important as one should compare “apples to apples.” Example: to compare the ratios of MIHE and RIHE

  13. How a Ratio is expressed? • As Percentage: such as 25% or 50%. For example if net profit is Rs.25,000/- and the sales is Rs.1,00,000/- then the net profit can be said to be 25% of the sales. • As Proportion: The above figures may be expressed in terms of the relationship between net profit to sales as 1 : 4. • As Pure Number /Times: The same can also be expressed in an alternatively way such as the sale is 4 times of the net profit or profit is 1/4th of the sales.
