Assets/Liability is which ratio?

Debt
Income
Capital
Liquidity

The correct answer is: Liquidity

The assets to liability ratio, often referred to as the "debt to equity ratio" in some contexts, is indicative of a company's capital structure and its ability to cover its obligations with its assets. This ratio is vital for evaluating a company's financial health and its operational efficiency. When considering liquidity, it specifically pertains to the company’s capacity to meet short-term obligations using its most liquid assets. This is crucial for contractors and businesses to ensure they can continue operations without facing solvency issues. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of this ratio helps gauge how well a construction business can manage its liabilities in relation to its total assets. The other options relate to different financial concepts. The debt ratio measures financial leverage, focusing on the relationship between total debt and total assets; income ratios focus on profitability measures; and capital ratios reflect the proportion of equity in the company's capital structure. Understanding these distinctions highlights the importance of the assets to liability ratio in assessing overall liquidity.
