Ratio as variable

Hi,

When you generate a variable which is a ratio in Eviews, do you always have to multiply it with 100?
This in order to interpret your ratio's in %?

- Or is this dependent on the type of ratio that you are using.

For example: Profit margin = netprofit/turnover *100, leverage ratio= short term liabilities/total assets also *100?

Thanks in advance,

Mathias
