Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of using financial ratios as an analytical technique to predict financial insolvency. Using discriminant analysis, a credit-risk score was calculated to determine if a lender should accept or reject a prospective borrower. This study reveals that 80% of the cases were correctly predicted by this model.
