Study Notes
Financial Statement Analysis and Managerial Accounting
- Financial strength ratios assess an entity's ability to meet financial obligations, including liquidity ratios for short-term obligations and solvency ratios for long-term obligations.
- The current ratio measures the ability to pay current liabilities with current assets and a higher ratio indicates a stronger financial position.
- The quick ratio, or acid-test ratio, assesses a business's ability to pay all its current liabilities if they were due immediately, with a ratio of 0.90 to 1.00 generally considered acceptable in most industries.
- The debt ratio indicates the proportion of assets financed with debt, with higher ratios leading to greater pressure to pay interest and principal.
- The times-interest-earned ratio, or interest coverage ratio, measures the number of times operating income can cover interest expense, with a high ratio indicating ease in paying interest.
- Profitability ratios, such as gross profit margin, operating profit margin, and net profit margin, show the percentage of each sales dollar earned as gross, operating, and net profit.
- Return on total assets (ROA) measures a company's success in using assets to earn a profit, with the numerator being the net profit and the denominator being the average total assets.
- Return on equity (ROE) shows the relationship between net income and ordinary shareholders' investment in the company, indicating how much income is earned for every $1 invested by the ordinary equity shareholders.
- Earnings per ordinary share (EPS) shows the amount of net income earned for each outstanding ordinary share and is computed by dividing net income available to ordinary shareholders by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year.
- Price/earnings ratio (P/E) indicates how much an investor is willing to pay for each unit of earnings and is widely quoted in financial sections of newspapers and online financial databases.
- Dividend yield measures the percentage of a share's market value returned annually to shareholders as dividends.
- Book value per ordinary share indicates the recorded accounting amount for each share of ordinary shares, calculated as ordinary shareholders’ equity divided by the number of ordinary shares outstanding.
