Interpretation
The proprietary ratio shows a decreasing trend2014 to 2015 afterwards it got hiked. So in the last two years it can be seen that equity has more volume than debt fund, it says company has sufficient amount of own fund to support its operation It indicates company's long term solvency is satisfactory but it has to maintain the ratios accordingly in the coming years. A low proprietary ratio indicates that the company may be depending too much on debt capital rather than equity which may lead to risk of rise in interest and bankruptcy.
