Ratio Analysis
starting point planning actions that will improve the firms future pe
A liquid asset is one that trades in an active market and hence can be
quickly converted to cash at a fair market price.
Two commonly used liquidity ratios are:
The current ratio
Quick, or Acid Test ratio
Current assets

Debt Ratios
Firms use debt financing (external sources) to raise funds
This debt financing (financial leverage) has three important implications:
1) By raising funds through debt, existing stockholders can maintain
control of the firm with out increasing their investment.
2) Creditors look to equity funds (which act as a margin of safety)
3) If the firm earns more on investments with borrowed funds and pays
more interest, the return on owners equity capital is magnified or
leveraged

Du Pont Analysis
Return on Equity (ROE) is affected by asset turnover, the profit
margin and leverage.
This approach is useful for evaluating performance
The profit margin times the total assets turnover is called the
Du Pont Equation and it gives the rate of return on assets (ROA)

Common Equity
This equality holds only if Total assets = Common equity (i.e. company
uses no debt)
To find the ROE, multiply the rate of return on assets (ROA) by the
Financial Leverage multiplier, which is the ratio of assets to
common equity.
