inventory.
A variation of it
Average of Opening and Ending Inventory can be
used too.
It depends upon the purpose of the calculation.
If we are interested in how long will it take us to
sell our current inventory, then using ending figure
(as we did initially) is better.
It depends on whether we are worried about the
past, in which case average is appropriate, or the
future, in which case, ending figures might be better.

EXTENSION OF THE DU PONT CHART
Return of Equity
13.1%
Explain
If ROE is unsatisfactory by some measure, then the Du
Pont Identity tells us where to start looking for reasons.
S.B.Khatri - KUSOM 140
Example
In 1989, GM had an ROE of 12.1 %. By 1993,
its ROE had improved to 44.1 %, a dramatic
improvement. On closer inspection, however,
we find that, over the same period, GMs profit
margin had declined from 3.4 to 1.8 %, and
ROA had declined from 2.4 to 1.3 %. The
decline in ROA was moderated only slightly by
an increase in Total Assets Turnover from 0.71
to 0.73 over the period.
Given this information, how is it possible for GMs
ROE to have climbed so sharply
S.B.Khatri - KUSOM? 141
Answer
GMs equity multiplier increased substantially during
the period.
GMs book equity value was almost wiped out
overnight in 1992 by changes in the accounting
treatment of pension liabilities.
What happens to the equity multiplier if a companys
equity value declines sharply ?
In GMs case, the multiplier went from 4.95 in 1989 to
33.62 in 1993.
In sum, the dramatic improvement in GMs ROE
doesnt really represent an improvement in financial
performance at all.
S.B.Khatri - KUSOM 142
Problems with Financial Statement
Analysis
1. Lack of underlying theory
No theory that tells us which numbers to look at and how to
interpret them.
Without such theory, it appears to be ad hoc, informal and
subjective.
2. Conglomerate firms
Difficult to analyze their consolidated financial statements
Difficult to find out the benchmark figures
3. Window dressing
Projecting favorable financial picture
Eg. Preparing balance sheet when the inventory level is low.
4. Price level changes
As a result, BS figures are distorted and misreported
S.B.Khatri - KUSOM 143
Problems (contd.)
5. Variations in accounting policies
Latitude in items like depreciation, valuation of stocks,
R&D expenses, foreign exchange transactions, installment
sales, preliminary and pre-operative expenses, provision of
reserves and revaluation of assets.
Comparative financial statement analysis may be vitiated.
6. Interpretation of results
It is somewhat difficult to judge whether certain ratio is
good or bad
Eg. A high turnover of fixed assets may mean efficient
utilization of plant and machinery or continued flogging of
more or less fully depreciated, worn out, and inefficient
plant and machinery.
Several ratios might point towards different directions,
hence making it difficult to form overall judgment.
S.B.Khatri - KUSOM 144
Guidelines for Financial Statement
Analysis
1. Use ratios to get clues to ask the right
questions
By themselves ratios rarely provide answers, but
they definitely help you to raise right questions
2. Be selective in the choice of ratios
Few ratios, aptly chosen, would capture most of the
information that you can derive from financial
statements.
3. Employ proper benchmarks
Average of industry , ratios of industry leaders,
historic ratios of the firm itself
S.B.Khatri - KUSOM 145
Guidelines
4. Know the tricks used by accountants
Think from the point of view of criminal to
understand how they think.
5. Read the footnotes
The more difficult it is to read a footnote, the more
information laden it may be.
6. Remember that financial statement analysis is
an odd mixture of art and science.
Requires care, thought, common sense, and
business judgment a process for which there are
no mechanical substitutes.
S.B.Khatri - KUSOM 146
Going beyond the numbers
Comprehensive business analysis, calls for going
beyond the conventional financial measures to
consider qualitative factors relevant for evaluating the
performance and prospects of a company.
1. Are the companys resources tied to one key customer
?
2. To what extent are the companys revenues tied to
one key product ?
3. To what extent does the company rely on a single
supplier ?
4. What percentage of companys business is generated
overseas ? S.B.Khatri - KUSOM 147
