Q

total asset turnover =

A

(revenue) / (average total net assets)

22
Q

fixed asset turnover =

A

(revenue) / (average net fixed assets)

23
Q

working capital turnover =

A

(revenue) / (average working capital)

24
Q

gross profit margin =

A

(gross profit) / (revenue)

25
operating profit margin =
(operating profit) / (revenue) = (EBIT) / (net sales)
26
net profit margin =
(net income) / (revenue)
27
return on assets (total capital) =
(EBIT) / (average total capital)
28
debt-to-equity ratio =
(total debt) / (total equity)
29
total-debt-ratio =
(total debt) / (total assets)
30
interest coverage =
(EBIT) / (interest)
31
fixed charged coverage =
(EBIT + lease payments) / (interest + lease payments)
32
growth rate (g) =
RR X ROE
33
retention rate =
1 - (dividends declared / operating income after taxes)
34
liquidity ratios
indicate a company's ability to pay its short-term liabilities
35
operating performance ratios
indicate how well management operates the business
36
Traditional DuPont equation: return on equity =
(net income / sales) * (sales / assets) * (assets / equity) or (net profit margin) * (asset turnover) * (equity multiplier)
37
Expanded DuPont equation: return on equity =
(net income / EBT) * (EBT / EBIT) * (EBIT / revenue) * (revenue / average total assets) * (average total assets / average equity) or (tax burden) * (interest burden) * (EBIT margin) * (asset turnover) * (leverage)
38
Held-for-traiding
fair value on balance sheet; dividends, interest, realized and unrealized G/L recognized on income statement
39
Available-for-sale
fair value on balance sheet; dividends, interest, realized G/L recognized on income statement; unrealized G/L is other comprehensive income
40
Held-to-maturity
amortized cost on balance sheet; interest, realized G/L recognized on income statement
41
Inventory Accounting
In periods of rising prices and stable or increasing inventory quantities: LIFO results in: higher COGS, lower gross profit, lower inventory FIFO results in: lower COGS, higher gross profit, higher inventory
42
basic EPS =
(net income - preferred dividends) / (weighted average number of common shares outstanding) [does not consider effects of any dilutive securities]
43
diluted EPS =
(adjusted income available for common share) / (weighted average common shares plus potential common shares outstanding) OR [(net income - preferred dividends) + (convertible preferred dividends) + (convertible debt interest)(1-t)] / [(weighted average shares) + (shares from conversion of convertible preferred shares) + (shares from conversion of convertible debt) + (shares issuable from stock options)]
44
capitalizing vs. expensing
capitalizing lowers income variability and increases near-term profits. Increases assets and equity expensing has the opposite effect
45
Straight-line depreciation =
(cost - residual value) / (useful life)
46
Double declining balance depreciation =
(2 / useful life) * (cost - accumulated deprecation)
47
Units of production deprecation =
[(cost - salvage value) / (useful life in units)] * output units
48
Revaluation of Long-Lived Assets
IFRS: revaluation gain recognized in net income only to the extent it reverses previously recognized impairment loss; further gains recognized in equity as revaluation surplus. (For investment property, all gains and losses from marking to fair value are recognized as income) GAAP: revaluation is not permitted
49
Deferred Taxes (DTL, DTA)
- Created when taxable income (on tax return) is not equal to pretax income (on financial statements) due to temporary differences - Deferred tax liabilities are created when taxable income < pretax income. Treat DTL as equity if not expected to reverse - Deferred tax assets are created when taxable income > pretax income. Must recognize valuation allowance if more likely than not that DTA will not be realized
50
Long-Term Liabilities (premium bond, discount bond, interest expense)
- Premium bond: coupon rate > market rate at issuance - Discount bond: coupon rate < market rate at issuance - Interest expense equals book value at the beginning of the year multiplied by the market rate of interest at the time the bonds were issued
51
Leases
Financial statement/ration impact of lease accounting from the lessee perspective: capital leases result in: - Higher: assets, liabilities, CFO, debt/equity - Lower: net income (early years), CFF, current ratio, working capital, asset turnover, ROA, ROE - Same: total cash flow
52
Pensions
- Defined contribution: employer contribution expensed in period incurred - Defined benefit: overfunded plan recognized as asset, underfunded plan recognized as liability
