Growth Working Capital Ratio: current assets should be 130% bigger
than current liabilities (Z-curve), conservative financial structure. If you
have more current assets you are more liquid.
Golden Balance Rule Ratio: four norms:
o Absolute norm: 0<GBR−R<1 , not possible to have negative
balance sheet items (except for equity). So GBR-R will be negative if
equity is more negative than sum of provisions, LT liabilities, and
shareholders’ equity (technical bankruptcy really bankrupt if not
liquid anymore).
GBR−R>1 : illiquidity (worse than technical bankruptcy).
o Favorite range: 0.5<GBR−R<0.8
0−0.5 : over liquidity, too much liquidity.
0.8−1 : entering illiquidity.

Financials should always start with 1st grade liquidity and then calculate bottom
up.
Situation: Cash Ratio<0.2 calculate lack of 1st grade liquidity (
0.2−outcome Cash Ratio ). Quick Ratio>1−lack of 1st grade liquidity (since not
allowed to make tradeoff). Only deduct if there’s shortage.
st
Current Ratio >1.3−lack of 1 grade liquidity . Only deduct Cash Ratio.
Why Cash Ratio > 0.2? Ratio is for all branches/industries, every company.
1. Risk mitigation (buffer).
2. Sinking fund for investments (CAPEX, PPE).
3. Opportunity reason in order to make quick moves.
4. Hostile takeover; can’t be planned easily.
