In my opinion, it's Debt-to-equity ratio and it should be equal to 1 or less than 1.

Liquidity ratio in which current ratio and quick ratio plus working capital are very important . As Liquidity ratio will assist in analysing weekness and strengh of observed company. Current ratio will demonstrate that how many current assets a company owns to disburse the concrened current laibilities. 2:1 is actullay a very good current ratio in this outlook.
