Ratio Analysis • Builds on a firm's financial statements • Easy to understand • Used by both equity investors and creditors

An Application of Ratio Analysis • The following ratios use Pier I Imports 2002 financial statements
Current Ratio • Current assets / current liabilities • $605.1 / $208.4 = 2.90
Quick Ratio • (Current assets - inventory) / current liabilities • ($605.1 - $275.4) / $208.4 = 1.58
Inventory Turnover • Sales / average inventory • $1,548.9 / $293.1 = 5.3
Receivables Turnover • Sales / accounts receivable • $1,548.6 / $6,205 = 249.6 • Answer is not meaningful
Receivables Turnover • For Southern Company$10,155 / $1,132 = 8.97 • Interpretation: 8.97 is about nine times a year or every six weeks.
Average Collection Period(days sales outstanding) • For Southern Company • Accounts receivable / sales per day • $1,132 / $28,208 = 40 days
Fixed Asset Turnover • Sales / fixed assets • $1,159 / $209.9 = 7.38
Total Asset Turnover • Sales / total assets • $1,159 / $862.7 = 1.80
Gross Profit Margin • (revenues - cost of goods sold) / sales • $649.8 / $1,549 = 41.96%
Operating Profit Margin • Operating earnings / sales • $158.8 / $1,549 = 10.26%
Net Profit Margin • Earnings after taxes / sales • $100.2 / $1,549 = 6.47%
Return on Assets • Earnings after taxes / total assets • $100.2 / $862.7 = 11.6%
Return on Equity • Earnings after taxes / equity • $100.2 / $585.6 = 17.1%
Return on Common Equity • Adjusts for preferred stock • If no preferred, ratio is same as return on equity
Basic Earning Power • EBIT / total assets • $158.8 / $862.7 = 18.47%
Debt Ratio • Debt / total assets • $277.0 / $862.7 = 32.1%
Debt to Equity Ratio • Debt / equity • $277.0 / $585.7 = 47.3%
DuPont System of Analysis • Combines • Net profit margin • Turnover • Leverage • Helps identify source of weakness
Times-interest-earned • Earnings before interest and taxes / interest • $158,813 / $-184 = -863.1 • Interest earned exceeded interest paid.
Ratio Comparisons • Ratios of firms within an industry • tend to have similar numerical values • differences in numerical values are reasons for further analysis
Problems for Interpretation • Different definitions for the same ratio • Historical data may be outmoded • Non-recurring items • Internet sources differ
