1CK40 Summary 2022Cash flow statements and financial ratios
The major financial statement
• Income statement: identifying the amount of wealth generated (profit and loss account)
o Measures flow of wealth during a particular period
• Statement of financial position: accumulated wealth and the form it does take (balance sheet)
o Is concerned with the financial position at a particular moment in time (snapshots)
• Statement of cash flows: summarizes all in- and outflows of cash during a particular period, and
categorizes them into:
o Cash flows from operating activities
o Cash flows from investing activities
o Cash flows from financing activities
Statement of financial position at the start of the accounting period → income statement & cash flow
statement → statement of financial position at the end of the accounting period
What is cash and why is cash so important?
• Cash: Notes and coins in hand and deposits in banks and similar institutions that are accessible to the
business on demand
• Cash equivalents: short-term liquid investment that can be readily convertible to known amounts of
cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change of value
Cash is important, since it allows a business to buy new assets or enables a business to pay its
employees, and bills.
Moreover, it connects statements of financial position with each other
Layout of cash flow statement
• Cash flows from operating activities: arise from
normal day-to-day trading activities, after taking
account of the tax paid and financing costs related to
these activities (profit – (inventory end of day –
inventory start of day))
o Direct method: involves an analysis of all cash
receipts and payments related to operation for a
given period
o Indirect method: starts with profit and then uses
information form the income statement and
statement of financial position to identify cash
flows of a particular period
▪ Always check for differences in inventory, trade
receivables, and trade payables (profit +
decrease inventory – increase trade
receivables)

, ▪ Adds back depreciation to (income) profit (profit – increase inventory + increase trade payable
+ depreciation)
▪ Also checks for interest expenses as interest receivable and interest payable
▪ Checks for taxation expenses (amounts that should be paid) Taxation paid = taxation start
period (balance sheet) + taxation expense – taxation end period (balance sheet
▪ Subtracts dividend paid from (income) profit
o Summary indirect method:
• Cash flows from investing activities: arise from acquiring and selling non-current assets and cash
inflows that arise from financial investments (loans and shares)
o Also, salvage value of an old machine, interest from loans, and dividends received from shares that
are held in other businesses
• Cash flows from financing activities: relating to the long-term financing of the business
o Also, in- and outflow for the raise and redemption of long-term borrowings

,Net increase of decrease in cash and cash equivalents
Final total cash flow statement = (cash + cash equivalent) end period – (cash + cash equivalent) start
period
For the analysis and interpretation of the three statements, one can make use of so-called financial
ratios
• Examine various aspects of financial health of a company and as such can assist in highlighting the
strengths and weakens of a business
• It should be used in comparison with past ratios, ratios from similar types of businesses or planned
ratios
•
Profitability ratios
Return on ordinary shareholders’ funds:
𝑃𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟 (𝑙𝑒𝑠𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑦 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑑)
𝑅𝑂𝑆𝐹 = ∗ 100%
𝑂𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑟𝑦 𝑠ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑝𝑖𝑡𝑎𝑙 + 𝑅𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑠
• The higher, the better
• Averages are used
Return of capital employed: compares the amount of profit for the period available to owners with their
average investment in the business during the same period

• Preferably, ROCE is above the rate that businesses pay for borrowed funds
• Whenever possible, one should average components that are measured at specific moments in time

𝑂𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡 𝑚𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑖𝑛 = ∗ 100%
𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑒
• Factors such as degree of competition, type of customer, economic climate, and industry
characteristics will influence this ratio
• Excellent ratio for comparing operational performance

• Businesses prefer a short inventories turnover period to a long one, because holding inventories has
costs

• A higher ratio tends to suggest that assets are being used more productively in the generation of
revenue. However, a very high ratio may suggest that the business is ‘overtrading’ on its assets

𝑆𝑎𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑟𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑢𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑒𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑜𝑦𝑒𝑒 =

• A higher ratio implies that they are deploying their staff efficiently

• Useful because for many businesses, inventories cannot be converted into cash quickly
• Minimum level: 1.0. However, for many highly successful companies, it is not unusual for the acid test
ratio to be below 1.0 without causing liquidity problems

• The higher the ratio, the better the liquidity of the business
Financial gearing ratios
Financial gearing occurs when a business is financed, at least in part, by borrowing rather than by
owners’ equity
• Involves taking a commitment to pay interest charges and to make capital repayments
• Done because of insufficient funds or to increase the returns to owners
• Effects:
o Returns to shareholders become more sensitive to changes in operating profits
o A change in operating profits will lead to a proportionately greater change in the ROSF ratio

• Measures the contribution of long-term lenders to the long-term capital structure of a business.
