    The Four Key Financial
    Statements: The Balance Sheet
    • The balance sheet presents a summary of a firm’s financial position at a given
    point in time.
    • The statement balances the firm’s assets (what it owns) against its financing,
    which can be either debt (what it owes) or equity (what was provided by
    owners).
    • Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity
    – Liabilities = Assets - Stockholders’ Equity

    Using Financial Ratios:
    Interested Parties
    • Ratio analysis involves methods of calculating and interpreting financial ratios to analyze
    and monitor the firm’s performance.
    • Current and prospective shareholders are interested in the firm’s current and future level
    of risk and return, which directly affect share price.
    • Creditors are interested in the short-term liquidity of the company and its ability to make
    interest and principal payments.
    • Management is concerned with all aspects of the firm’s financial situation, and it attempts
    to produce financial ratios that will be considered favorable by both owners and creditors.

    Using Financial Ratios:
    Types of Ratio Comparisons
    • Cross-sectional analysis is the comparison of different firms’ financial ratios at the same
    point in time; involves comparing the firm’s ratios to those of other firms in its industry or
    to industry averages
    • Benchmarking is a type of cross-sectional analysis in which the firm’s ratio values are
    compared to those of a key competitor or group of competitors that it wishes to emulate.
    • Comparison to industry averages is also popular, as in the following example.

    time using financial ratio analysis

    assess the firm’s progress.

    Using Financial Ratios: Cautions
    about Using Ratio Analysis
    1. Ratios that reveal large deviations from the norm merely indicate the possibility of a
    problem.
    2. A single ratio does not generally provide sufficient information from which to judge the
    overall performance of the firm.
    3. The ratios being compared should be calculated using financial statements dated at the
    same point in time during the year.
    4. It is preferable to use audited financial statements.
    5. The financial data being compared should have been developed in the same way.
    6. Results can be distorted by inflation.

    Matter of Fact

    Determinants of liquidity needs


    – Large enterprises generally have well established relationships with banks
    that can provide lines of credit and other short-term loan products in the
    event that the firm has a need for liquidity.
    – Smaller firms may not have the same access to credit, and therefore they
    tend to operate with more liquidity.
