Working Capital Ratio Trend Note

Compare supplied current assets and liabilities across two periods without treating a ratio as a solvency judgment.

What to provide

Two comparable balance-sheet extracts, classification policy and documented one-off adjustments.

Workflow

1. Confirm consistent current-asset and current-liability definitions.
2. Calculate working capital and current ratio for each period.
3. Show absolute changes without inventing causes.
4. Return a note for the finance owner; do not recommend a financing commitment.

Output contract

Period | current assets | current liabilities | working capital | current ratio | caveat

Fictional acceptance test

Fictional periods: assets 90000 and liabilities 60000 give working capital 30000 and ratio 1.50. Next period assets 96000 and liabilities 80000 give 16000 and 1.20. Report working capital down 14000 and ratio down 0.30.

Review gates and limits

Check seasonality and asset collectability before drawing conclusions. These figures do not establish liquidity adequacy.
