Paramount Resources has a current ratio of 0.6, indicating that it has a negative working capital and may not be able to pay financial obligations in time and when they become due. Debt can assist Paramount Resources until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Paramount Resources' shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Paramount Resources sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Paramount to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Paramount Resources' use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
