Study Notes

Investment Analysis Ratios

  • Broker's Rate of Return: Ignores cash flows after the initial year and financing arrangements, as well as income tax effects.

  • Income Multipliers: Useful for preliminary analysis to eliminate clearly poor investment opportunities; do not fully indicate investment worth. Relate property price to after-tax cash flow.

  • Equity Dividend Rate: Ignores financing structures and income tax effects. Reflects before-tax cash flow as a percentage of equity cash outlay, not the property's value.

  • Operating Ratio: Shows operating expenses as a percentage of effective gross income, highlighting the relationship between net operating income and operating expenses.

  • Overall Capitalization Rate: Expresses net operating income as a percentage of the property's value or price. Not the same as equity dividend rate; it's the reciprocal of the net income multiplier.

  • Gross Income Multiplier: Reflects the relationship between a property's price to its gross income. Its reciprocal is the capitalization rate.

  • Break-Even Ratio: Also known as the "default ratio," it shows the relationship between net operating income and operating expenses, and the extent net operating income can decline before being insufficient for debt service obligations.

  • Payback Period: A simple project acceptability measure that is easily adapted to different risk preferences by investors. It disregards cashflows after the payback period.
