to earn a high rating from the bond rating agencies, a company would want to have I. A high cash ratio II. A high return on capital ratio III. A high total debt ratio
cash ratio is an indication that a firm is having a lot of cash in order to pay of its current debt's as well as its future debts and it is hedged against any kind of liquidity risk and solvency risk. These earn high credit rating from rating agency.
