Current Assets to Proprietor’s Fund Ratio

Current Assets to Proprietor’s Fund Ratio:

Current Assets to Proprietors’ Fund Ratio establishes the relationship between current assets and shareholder’s funds.

The purpose of this ratio is to calculate the percentage of shareholders funds invested in current assets.
