net working capital / gross revenue
Then I check this ratio for validity. If it’s valid, I use it to help manage GW’s financing activities. But if it’s meaningless, I drop it. So I observe companies that I consider good and I find that they all have a NWC ratio between 10% and 20%. Less than 10% and you risk getting caught short; more than 20% and you’re making inefficient use of capital. I might decide that an NWC ratio of 15% seems best. I calculate the NWC ratio for General Widget, with a net working capital of $460,000 and a gross revenue of $3,500,000 and find that it’s a little under 15%. You have to play with ratios a little—and remember that they offer rough guidelines, no magic formulas. But a wise manager can know a lot about the financial present and future of a com- pany by analyzing financial ratios.
