Chapter 3: Financial Statement Analysis

Financial Leverage ratios
o Debt-equity ratio = Debt / Equity
o Total debt ratio = Debt / Total Assets
o Equity Multiplier = Total Assets / Equity

Turnover ratios
Liquidity ratios
The Du Pont Identity:
ROE = Profit margin * Total asset turnover * Equity multiplier
= (Net income / Sales) * (Sales / Assets) * (Assets / Equity)
Short form: ROE = Net income / Equity
ROE = ROA x (Assets / Equity)
--> ROE is always bigger than ROA
Chapter 4: The time value of money
Future value (FV) = amount investment is worth after one or more periods
Formula for value after t periods:
Vt = V0 * (1+r)t
Interest:
Simple = interest earned only on original principal amount invested
Compound = interest earned on both principal and interest reinvested from prior periods
(1+r)t = Future Value Interest Factor (FVIF)
Present Value (PV) = current value of future cash flows discounted at the appropriate discount rate
Discounting = calculate present value of some future amount
Formula for value of future cash flow:
