FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS FOR


NON-FINANCIAL MANAGERS
Introduction to Balance Sheets and Income Statements:
The balance sheet summarizes the financial position of
an organization at a given moment, it is a snapshot of
the firm. The balance sheet reflects the status of the
organizations assets, (the economic resources owned
by the organization), liabilities (debts owned to
creditors), and equity (the owners investment in the
organization).
WORLD BANK

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS FOR


NON-FINANCIAL MANAGERS
As its name implies the balance sheet should
indicate that these elements are in balance.
Assets = Liabilities + Equity

This fundamental relationship must always exist,


because the assets represent the things owned by
the organization and the liabilities and equity
indicate how much was supplied by both creditors
and owners.
WORLD BANK

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS FOR


NON-FINANCIAL MANAGERS
In contrast to the balance sheet, the income
statement shows the organization's financial
progress over a given period of time. The income
statement is also based on equation:
Revenues - Expenses = Profit (or Loss)

WORLD BANK

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS FOR


NON-FINANCIAL MANAGERS
Revenues are the resources, primarily cash, coming into the organization
as a result of goods sold or services rendered. Expenses are the
resources used by the organization to provide goods or services. If
revenues are greater than expenses, the business has realized a profit.
If expenses exceed revenue the business has realized a loss from
operations. As you read the following detailed descriptions of balance
sheets and income statements, keep in mind that there is a direct and
important relationship between the two. The profit (or loss) realized by a
business over a period of time affects the amount of equity. Equity in a
business comes from two sources: Direct investment by the owners and
profits from business operations. Therefore, the bridge between the
income statement and the balance sheet is in the relationship between
equity and profit or loss.

Income Statements:

Exhibit 1 shows a sample income statement (see next page)


for a period covering January 1 to December 31, 1989. The
company in question earned revenues from two sources:

Net sales: All sources earned by the company from the


sale of its products and services.

Other income: Generally resources from sources as


interest on bank accounts, cash dividends from
investments in other companies, and interest on bonds.

WORLD BANK

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS FOR


NON-FINANCIAL MANAGERS
The following expenses are subtracted from
revenues:

Cost of goods sold: all the expenses


incurred in making the products sold
during the period, including the cost of
materials, labor, and factory overhead
(rent, utilities and maintenance).

Administrative and selling expenses: The


costs of running and promoting the business,
including items like the presidents salary, the
salaries of all management personnel,
advertising costs and sales commissions.
Interest expenses: The interest that the
company paid during the year on money that
it borrowed.

WORLD BANK

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS FOR

Other Expenses: This would include any


other unusual expenses incurred by the
company to run the business not otherwise
accounted for above (e.g. research and
development expenses, and organizational
costs).

WORLD BANK

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS FOR


NON-FINANCIAL MANAGERS
Expenses are subtracted from revenues to yield a
figure that indicates the companys earnings, but
this figure still does not reflect the companys
profit. During 1989 the company paid over 46
percent of its earnings to the tax department in
the form of taxes. Thus, its net earnings, or the
amount of profit the company earned in 1989, is
LE 174, 243.

Balance sheets
Exhibit 2 is the balance sheet for Company X as of
December 31, 1989. The first component is assets,
current and fixed. Current assets, are those the
business expects to turn into cash during the next
year. The cash generated from current assets is
used to pay expenses and repay liabilities. Current
assets include:
WORLD BANK

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS FOR


NON-FINANCIAL MANAGERS

Cash.
Marketable securities: Temporary investments (generally 90 days)
of excess or idle cash; listed at cost, or market value since they are
converted into cash within one year.
Accounts Receivable: Money owned to the company by debtors,
generally for the purchase of goods and services.
Inventories: The value of products that have been completed and
are in storage waiting to be sold (finished goods), products that
have been partially completed (work in process), and raw materials.
Prepaid Expenses: The value of items that the company has paid
for in advance, such as insurance premiums.
WORLD BANK

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS FOR


NON-FINANCIAL MANAGERS

Fixed assets are things of value that will provide benefits to


the company for one or more years. Fixed assets are
reported in three categories: land, buildings, machinery and
equipment. Fixed assets are reported on the balance sheet at
the cost to purchase or acquire the asset minus the
depreciation accumulated on the assets since the time of
purchase. Depreciation is the estimated decline in the useful
value of an asset due to gradual wear and tear. Since this
decline in value cannot be estimated with certainly,
accountants use various standards methods to approximate it.

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS FOR

The second major section in a balance sheet is
devoted to liabilities. Current liabilities are the
debts that a company must pay off within the
coming year:

Notes payable: Money owned to banks or


other lending institutions; generally shortterm loans (up to one year) used to finance
short-term needs.

WORLD BANK

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS FOR


NON-FINANCIAL MANAGERS

Accounts payable: Money owed to vendors for the purchase


of goods and services.

Payrolls and other accurables: Money owed to people for


institutions that have performed services, including salaries
owed to employees, salaries owed to employees on vacation,
attorney fees, insurance premiums, and pension funds.

Income taxes: Money owed to the Tax Department; may


sometimes be deferred and paid later but must always be
paid.

WORLD BANK

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS FOR


NON-FINANCIAL MANAGERS
Long-term liabilities are obligations, usually
loans, that are due to be paid not in the current
year but in some future period. The amount
specified in the balance sheet is equal to the
total amount borrowed.

WORLD BANK

FINANCIAL RATIO ANALYSIS FOR


NON-FINANCIAL MANAGERS
The final major section, the equity section
summarizes the owners investment in the
business. Individuals and institutions become
owners of a company by purchasing shares of
the companys stock. Equity increases as more
people purchase stock and the company retains
increased profit.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS
Each type of analysis of financial data has a
purpose or use that determines the different
relationships emphasized. Therefore, it is
useful to classify ratios into four fundamental
types:

Liquidity ratios, measure the firms ability to


meet its maturing short-term obligations.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS

Leverage ratios, measure the extent to which


the firm has been financed by debt.
Activity ratios, measure how effectively the
firm is using its resources.
Profitability ratios, measure managements
overall effectiveness as shown by the returns
generated on sales and investment.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS

Liquidity Ratios
Generally, the first concern of the financial analyst is
liquidity. they measures the short-run solvency of a
company its ability to meet current debts.
Current

Ratio
The current ratio indicates whether there are enough
current assets to meet current liabilities.
Current ratio = Current assets
Current liabilities

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS
Current assets normally include: Cash, marketable
securities, accounts receivable, and inventories.
Current liabilities consist of: accounts payable, shortterm notes, payable, current maturities of long-term
debt, accrued income taxes, and other accrued
expenses (principally wages).

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS
When is the company solvent? When the current ratio
is 1.0 or greater; that is, the company should have
more current assets than current liabilities.
Method for Calculating the Current Ratio:
Add cash, marketable securities, accounts receivable,
and inventories to get current assets.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS

Add notes payable, trade accounts payable,


payrolls and other accurables and income
taxes to get current liabilities.

Divide the derived current assets figure by the


calculated current liabilities figure.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS

You have now derived the current ratio. Now,


compare the value derived to 1.0. If the
current ratio is 1.0 or greater, the company
should have more current assets than current
liabilities and is financially viable or solvent. If
the current ratio is less than 1.0, the company
will have more current liabilities than current
assets and is financially unviable or insolvent.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS

For significance this ratio should be


compared to previous years (e.g. the current
ratio for five previous years should be
derived). This is necessary in order to derive
a trend. If the current ratio is rising n an
upward fashion, the company is becoming
more financially viable. If the current ratio is
falling and assuming a downward trend, the
company is becoming less financially viable.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS

One helpful activity is to also compare the


current ratio of the company in question to the
current ratio of similar competing companies. If
the company in question has a higher current
ratio on a regular basis over a number of years
than this company is more financially viable. On
the other hand, if the company in question has a
lower current ratio on a regular basis over a
number of years than this company is less
financially viable.

b - Quick Ratio, or Acid Test
The quick ratio is calculated by deducting inventory
from current assets, and dividing the remainder by
current liabilities. Inventories are deducted since they
are typically the least liquid of a firms current assets.
Quick ratio = Current assets - Inventory
Current Liabilities
WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS
When is the company solvent? When the Quick
ratio is 1.0 or greater.
Which liquidity ratio is more accurate, the
current ratio or the quick ratio? The quick ratio,
since it excludes inventory, the least liquid
asset, and the asset on which losses are most
likely to occur in the event of liquidation.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS
Method for Calculating the Quick Ratio:
Add cash, marketable securities and
accounts receivable (items 16, 17, & 18 on
the sample balance sheet on page 6) to get
quick assets (quick assets by definition is
current assets - inventory).

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS

Add notes payable, trade accounts payable,


payrolls and other accurables and income
taxes (items 31, 32, 33 & 34 on the sample

liabilities.

Divide the derived quick assets figure by the


calculated current liabilities figure.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS

You have now derived the quick ratio. Now,


compare the value derived to 1.0. If the quick
ratio is 1.0 or greater, the company should
have more quick assets than current liabilities
and is financially viable or solvent. If the
quick ratio is less than 1.0, the company will
have more current liabilities than quick assets
and is financially unviable or insolvent.

Leverage Ratios
Leverage ratios measure the funds supplied
by owners as compared with the financing
provided by the firms creditors.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS
Implications of leverage ratios:
Equity, or owner-supplied funds, provide a
margin of safety for creditors. Thus, the less
equity, the more the risks of the enterprise to
the creditors.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS

Debt funding enables the owners to maintain


control of the firm with a limited investment.
If the firm earns more on the borrowed funds
than it pays in interest, the return to the
owners is magnified.
If the firm earns more on the borrowed funds
than it pays in interest, the return to the
owners is magnified.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS
Low leverage ratios: Indicate less risk of loss
when the economy is in a downturn, but lower
expected returns when the economy booms.
High leverage ratios: indicate the risk of large
losses, but also have a chance of gaining high
profits.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS

Therefore, decisions about the use of leverage
must balance higher expected returns against
increased risk.

assets and measures the percentage of total
funds provided by creditors.

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS
Problems in arising in calculating and analyzing this ratio:

Sales are at market prices. If inventories are carried at


cost, as they generally are, it is more appropriate to use
cost of goods sold in place of sales in the numerator of
the formula.

Sales occur over the entire year, whereas the inventory


figure is for one point in time. This makes it better to
use an average inventory, computed by adding
beginning and ending inventories and dividing by 2.

B - Average collection period:
The average collection period indicates how
quickly the company collects its accounts
receivable.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS
It is computed in the following way:

Annual sales (derived from the income


statement) are divided by 365 to get average
daily sales.

Accounts receivable (derived from the


balance sheet) are divided over daily sales to
find the number of days sales is tied up in
receivables.

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS

The average collection period represents the average


length of time the firm must wait to receive cash after
making a sale and is mathematically defined as
follows:
Average collection period = Accounts receivables
Sales/365 days

WORLD BANK

ANALYSIS OF BALANCE SHEETS


AND INCOME STATEMENTS

Evaluation of this ratio is based upon the


terms on which the firm sells its goods. For
example, if the collection period over the past
few years for a given company is lengthy
while its credit policy did not change, this
would be evidence that steps should be taken
to expedite the collection of accounts
receivable.
