 For each account on this company’s balance sheet, show the
change in the account during 2009 and note whether this
change was a source or use of cash. Do your numbers add
up and make sense? Explain your answer for total assets as
compared to your answer for liabilities and owner’s equity
Statement of Cash Flows
 Statement that summarizes the sources and uses of cash
 Changes divided into three major categories

Operating Activity – includes net income and changes in
most current accounts

Investment Activity – includes changes in fixed assets

Financing Activity – includes changes in notes payable,
long-term debt, and equity accounts, as well as dividends

Standardized Financial Statements
 Standardized statements make it easier to compare
financial information, particularly as the company grows
 They are also useful for comparing companies of different
sizes, particularly within the same industry.
Standardized Financial Statements
 There are three kinds of standardized financial statements:
1.
COMMON-SIZE STATEMENTS
2. COMMON-BASE YEAR FINANCIAL STATEMENT
(Trend analysis)
3. COMBINED COMMON-SIZE AND BASE YEAR
ANALYSIS
Standardized Financial Statements
1.COMMON-SIZE STATMENTS
 Common-Size Balance Sheets

Compute all accounts as a percent of total assets
(Item/ TA) * 100
 Common-Size Income Statements

Compute all line items as a percent of sales
(Item/ SALES) * 100

Ratio Analysis
 Ratios allow for better comparison through time or
between companies
 As we look at each ratio, ask yourself what the ratio is
trying to measure and why that information is important
 Ratios are used both internally and externally
Categories of Financial Ratios
1.
Short-term solvency or liquidity ratios
2. Long-term solvency or financial leverage ratios: The
ability to meet long-term obligations
3. Asset management or turnover ratios: Efficiency of asset
use
4. Profitability ratios
5. Market value ratios
Short-term solvency or liquidity ratios
 The ability to pay bills in the short-run
 Provide information about the firm’s liquidity
 Advantage: BV & MV are similar
 Disadvantage: CA & CL change rapidly

Computing Liquidity Ratios
 Current ratio= CA
CL
 708 / 540= 1.31 times
 EX 3.1
 CA= 4
CL= 2
what happen to the Current ratio if:
1.
The firm pays off some of its creditors? If CA= 3 CL=1
2.
The firm buys some inventory?
3.
The firm sells some merchandize?
Computing Liquidity Ratios
 Q u i c k R at i o = ( C A – I n v e n t o ry ) ÷ C L
 (708 - 422) ÷ 540 = 0.53 times
 C a s h r at i o = c a s h
÷ Current liabilities
 98 ÷ 540 = 0.18 times
 N W C t o t o ta l a s s e t s = N W C
÷ t o ta l a s s e t s
 (708 – 540) ÷ 3,588 = 4.7%
 Interval measure = CA ÷ average daily operating costs
 1,344 ÷ 365 = 3.68 $ per day
 708 ÷ 3.68 = 192 days
Computing Long-term Solvency Ratios
 The ability to meet long-term obligations
 T o ta l d e b t r at i o = ( TA – T E )
 (3,588 – 2,951 ) ÷ 3,588 = 0.28 times
 D e b t- e q u i t y r at i o = T D ÷ T E
 E q u i t y = ( 1 - T D ) = (1- 0.28) = 0.72

0.28 ÷ 0.72 = 0.39 times
÷ TA
Computing Long-term Solvency Ratios
 E q u i t y m u lt i p l i e r = TA
÷ TE
 1 ÷0.72 = 1.39 times
 L o n g - t e r m d e b t r at i o = LT D
 457 ÷ (457 + 2,592) = 0.15 times
÷ ( LT D + T E )
Computing Coverage Ratios
 T i m e s i n t e r e s t e a r n e d r at i o = E B I T
÷interest
 691 ÷141 = 4.9 times

C a s h c o v e r a g e r at i o = ( E B I T + d e p r e c i at i o n ) ÷ i n t e r e s t
 (691 + 276) ÷ 141 = 6.9 times
Ex 1, 5 page 81
 SDJ, Inc,. Has net working capital 0f 1,370 $ , current
liabilities of 3,720 $, and inventory of 1,950$. What is the
current ratio? What is the quick ratio?
 Crystal Lake, Inc,. Has a total debt ratio of 0.63. what is its
debt-equity ratio? What is it equity multiplier?
Asset Management measures
 I n v e n t o ry t u r n o v e r = C O G S
÷ i n v e n t o ry
 1,344 ÷ 422 =3.2 times
 Days’ sales in inventory = 365 days ÷ inventory turnover
 365 ÷ 3.2 = 114 days
Computing Receivables Ratios
 Receivables turnover= sales ÷AR
 2,311 ÷ 188 = 12.3 times
 Days’ sales in receivables = 365 days ÷ receivables turnover
 365 ÷ 12.3 = 30 days
Computing Total Asset Turnover
 NWC turnover = sales ÷ NWC
 2,311 ÷ (708- 540) = 13.8 times
 Fixed asset turnover= sales ÷Net fixed assets
 2.311 ÷ 2,880 = 0.8 times
 Total asset turnover= sales ÷ total asset
 2,311 ÷ 3,588 = 0.64 times
Computing Profitability Measures
 Profit Margin = Net Income ÷ Sales
 363 ÷2,311 = 15.7 %
 Return on Assets (ROA) = Net Income ÷ Total Assets
 363 ÷ 3,588 = 10.12 %
 Return on Equity (ROE) = Net Income ÷ Total Equity
 363 ÷ 2,591= 14%
Computing Market Value Measures
 Prufrock has 33 million shares outstanding and the stock
sold for 88$ per share at the end of the year
 Price-Earning Ratio = Price per share ÷ Earnings per share
 EPS= net income ÷ shares outstanding
 363÷ 33 =11 $
 88 ÷ 11= 8 times
Computing Market Value Measures
 Price-sales ratio= price per share ÷ sales per share
 Sales per share = sales÷ shares out standing
 2,311 ÷ 33= 70$
 88 ÷ 70 = 1.26
Computing Market Value Measures
 Market-to-book ratio = market value per share ÷book
value per share
 Book value per share= TE ÷ SHARES OUTSTANDING
 2,591 ÷ 33 = 78.5$
 88 ÷ 78.5 = 1.12 times
Ex 2 Page 81
 Wakers, Inc., has sales of $29 million, total assets of $ 17.5
million, and total debt of $ 6.3 million. If the profit margin
is 8 percent, what is net income? What is ROA? What is
ROE?
Ex 3 Page 81
 Ortiz Lumber Yard has a current account receivable balance
of $431,287. credit sales for the year just ended were
$3,943,709. what is the receivable turnover? The days’
sales in receivables? How long did it take on average for
credit customers to pay off their accounts during the past
year?
Ex 6 Page 81
 Bach Crop. Had addition to retained earnings for the year
just ended of $430,000. the firm paid out $175,000 In cash
dividends, and it has ending total equity of $5.3 million. If
the company currently has 210,000 shares of common
stock outstanding, what are the earnings per share?
Dividend per share? Book value per share? If the stock
currently sells for $63 per share, what is the market-tobook ratio? The price-earnings ratio? If the company had
sales of $4.5 million , what is the price-sales ratio?
Deriving the Du Pont Identity
 Investigates what areas of the firm need improvement
 Provide a frame work that ties together a firm’s
profitability, assets efficiency & the use of debt
 Provide the impact of operations on returns
 Any weakness on operating assets or efficiency will result in
a lower ROE
Using the Du Pont Identity
 ROE = PM * TAT * EM

Profit margin is a measure of the firm’s operating
efficiency – how well it controls costs

Total asset turnover is a measure of the firm’s asset use
efficiency – how well does it manage its assets

Equity multiplier is a measure of the firm’s financial
leverage

Ex 7 , 8 Page 81
 If Roten Rooters, Inc., has an equity multiplier of 2.8, total
asset turnover of 1.15 , and profit margin of 5.5 percent,
what is the ROE?
 Braam Fire prevention Crop. Has a profit margin of 6.8
percent, total asset turnover of 1.95, and ROE of 18.27
percent. What is the firm’s debt-equity ratio?
Ex 18 Page 83
 Y3K, Inc., has sales of $5,276 , total assets in $ 3,105 , and a
debt- equity ratio of 1.4. if its return on equity is 15 percent,
what is its net income?
Why Evaluate Financial Statements?
 Internal uses
1.
2.
3.
Performance evaluation (Compensation )
Comparison between divisions
Planning for the future – guide in estimating future cash flows
 External uses

Creditors

Suppliers

Customers

Stockholders
Benchmarking
 Ratios are not very helpful by themselves; they need to be
compared to something
 Time-Trend Analysis

Used to see how the firm’s performance is changing through
time

Internal and external uses
 Peer Group Analysis

Compare to similar companies or within industries

SIC and NAICS codes
Potential Problems
 There is no underlying theory, so there is no way to know
which ratios are most relevant
 Benchmarking is difficult for diversified firms
 Globalization and international competition makes
comparison more difficult because of differences in
accounting regulations
 Varying accounting procedures, i.e. FIFO vs. LIFO
 Different fiscal years
 Extraordinary events
Review
 What is the Statement of Cash Flows and how do you
determine sources and uses of cash?
 How do you standardize balance sheets and income
statements and why is standardization useful?
 What are the major categories of ratios and how do you
compute specific ratios within each category?
 What are some of the problems associated with financial
statement analysis?
