What is the index of conservatism in capital structure ?

  • A.Working Capital Ratio
  • B.Operating Ratio
  • C.Price Earning Ratio
  • D.Proprietory Ratio

Answer: D

The index of conservatism is the proprietary ratio.

The proprietary ratio, shareholders' funds divided by total assets, shows how much of the business is financed by the owners. A high ratio means little reliance on borrowed funds, a conservative capital structure that protects creditors.

The working capital ratio measures short-term liquidity, the operating ratio operating efficiency, and the price-earnings ratio the market's valuation of earnings; none measures conservatism in the capital structure.
