Basic solvency ratio This ratio signals your power to meet monthly expenses in case of any emergency or calamity. It's calculated by dividing the near-term cash you have with your monthly expenses. Basic solvency ratio = Cash / Monthly expenses (this ratio isn't mentioned in percentage). You are able to also call it as emergency or contingency preparation ratio. This ratio helps you prepare for unexpected troubles. An illustration, a 30-year-old businessman whose wife had an emergency gall bladder surgery last year. In spite of the fact that they had enough insurance to take care of exactly such an event, due to a few administrative problems on the day of discharge, he was informed that he would have to pay in cash as the bill couldn't be settled. He had a hard time arranging the funds on an emergency fundament. He was fortunate to have good acquaintances and relatives who lent him the money. But not everyone have such great admirers or relatives to bail them out at such short notice. I'm sure no one wants to be in the same shoes. Therefore we have to be organized for such a situation. How? By sustaining an emergency fund! Let's examine how much money is adequate. Here is where basic solvency ratio comes handy. The numerator of the basic solvency ratio formula, cash (near cash), would commonly comprise of the following things: • Savings account • Bank fixed deposits • Liquid funds • Cash on hand The above elements are liquid assets which come on handy at the first possible hint of financial problems. Liquid funds may be delivered immediately. Same goes for fixed deposits as they may be broken and liquidated at once in case of an emergency. Monthly expenses: Only the mandatory fixed and varying expenses are taken here for ease. Any amusement outlay shouldn't be taken as these expenses can be quashed. Mandatory fixed expenses include the income you pay for, loans, insurance premium, and rent. Mandatory varying expenses, on the other hand, comprise of food, transit, clothing/ personal care, medical care, utilities, education expenses and assorted compulsory expenses (the above expenses can vary depending upon individuals). The total of the above divided by 12 (that is 12 months) helps you attain the monthly average as your variable expenditure might change. Assuming that you've cash of 60,000 and median monthly expenses of 25,000 your basic solvency ratio would work out to: 60,000 / 25,000 = 2.4. But is it great? Not quite. An Ideal ratio should come to 3. What does the number 3 mean?
