  4. We will want to answer questions about the firm’s • Liquidity • Efficient use of Assets • Leverage (financing) • Profitability

  5. Financial Ratios • Tools that help us determine the financial health of a company. • We can compare a company’s financial ratios with its ratios in previous years (trend analysis). • We can compare a company’s financial ratios with those of its industry.

  10. 1. Liquidity Ratios • Do we have enough liquid assets to meet approaching obligations?

  11. What is CyberDragon’s Current Ratio?

  12. 50,190 25,523 = 1.97 What is CyberDragon’s Current Ratio?

  13. 50,190 25,523 = 1.97 What is CyberDragon’s Current Ratio? If the average current ratio for the industry is 2.4, is this good or not?

  14. What is the firm’s Acid Test Ratio?

  15. 50,190 - 27,530 25,523 = .89 What is the firm’s Acid Test Ratio?

  16. 50,190 - 27,530 25,523 = .89 What is the firm’s Acid Test Ratio? Suppose the industry average is .92. What does this tell us?

  17. What is the firm’s Average Collection Period?

  18. 18,320 112,760/365 = 59.3 days What is the firm’s Average Collection Period?

  19. 18,320 112,760/365 = 59.3 days What is the firm’s Average Collection Period? If the industry average is 47 days, what does this tell us?

  20. 2. Operating Efficiency Ratios • Measure how efficiently the firm’s assets generate operating profits.

  21. What is the firm’s Operating Income Return on Investment (OIROI)?

  22. 11,520 81,890 = 14.07% What is the firm’s Operating Income Return on Investment (OIROI)?

  23. 11,520 81,890 = 14.07% What is the firm’s Operating Income Return on Investment (OIROI)? • Slightly below the industry average of 15%.

  24. 11,520 81,890 = 14.07% What is the firm’s Operating Income Return on Investment (OIROI)? • Slightly below the industry average of 15%. • The OIROI reflects product pricing and the firm’s ability to keep costs down.

  25. What is their Operating Profit Margin?

  26. 11,520 112,760 = 10.22% What is their Operating Profit Margin?

  43. How does Leverage work? • Suppose we have an all equity-financed firm worth $100,000. Its earnings this year total $15,000. ROE = = 15% 15,000 100,000

  44. How does Leverage work? • Suppose the same $100,000 firm is financed with half equity, and half 8% debt (bonds). Earnings are still $15,000. ROE =

  45. How does Leverage work? • Suppose the same $100,000 firm is financed with half equity, and half 8% debt (bonds). Earnings are still $15,000. ROE = = 15,000 - 4,000 50,000

  46. How does Leverage work? • Suppose the same $100,000 firm is financed with half equity, and half 8% debt (bonds). Earnings are still $15,000. ROE = = 22% 15,000 - 4,000 50,000

  47. What is CyberDragon’s Debt Ratio?
