Dear student 
Ratio analysis can be used to compare information taken from the financial statements to gain a general understanding of the results, financial positions and cash flows of business. However there are some limitations of ratio analysis -  some elements of balance sheet may be stated at historical cost this disparity can result in unusual ratio results, Accounting policies, inflation, operational changes, business conditions etc.
