Task 2
Recall the businesses that you have thought off in the previous session (Financial Analysis 1).
In your notebook, write the businesses that you have imagined.

Are the following matters important in your imagined businesses:

1. How fast can you sell your inventory?

2. How many days does it take to collect receivables from your customers?
3. How much revenue is generated for each peso of asset invested in your business?
• The answers to these questions may be derived from the financial statements in your
previous lesson.

is It

Financial Statement (FS) Analysis is the process of evaluating risks, performance,

financial health, and prospects of a business by subjecting financial statement data to
computational and analytical techniques with the objective of making economic
decisions(White et.al 1998).There are three kinds of FS analysis techniques:
- Horizontal analysis
- Vertical analysis
- Financial ratios
(Note: this lesson will focus on ratio analysis.)

Ratio analysis expresses the relationship among selected items of financial statement
data. The relationship is expressed in terms of a percentage, a rate, or a simple proportion
(Weygandtet.al. 2013). A financial ratio is composed of a numerator and a denominator. For
example, a ratio that divides sales by assets will find the peso amount of sales generated by
every peso of asset invested. This is an important ratio because it tells us the efficiency of
invested asset to create revenue. This ratio is called asset turnover. There are many ratios used
in business. These ratios are generally grouped into three categories:

(a) profitability,
(b) efficiency, and
(c) financial health.

a. Profitability ratios measure the ability of the company to generate income from the use of
its assets and invested capital as well as control its cost.

4 NegOr_Q3_FABM211_Module6_v2
The following are the commonly used profitability ratios:
- Gross profit ratio reports the peso value of the gross profit earned for every peso of
sales. We can infer the average pricing policy from the gross profit margin.
- Operating income ratio expresses operating income as a percentage of sales. It
measures the percentage of profit earned from each peso of sales in the company’s core
business operations (Horngren et.al. 2013). A company with a high operating income
ratio may imply a lean operation and have low operating expenses. Maximizing
operating income depends on keeping operating costs as low as possible (Horngren
et.al. 2013).
- Net profit ratio relates the peso value of the net income earned to every peso of sales.
This shows how much profit will go to the owner for every peso of sales made.
- Return on asset(ROA) measures the peso value of income generated by employing
the company’s assets. It is viewed as an interest rate or a form of yield on asset
investment. The numerator of ROA is net income. However, net income is profit for
the shareholders. On the other hand, asset is allocated to both creditors and
shareholders. Some analyst prefers to use earnings before interest and taxes instead of
net income. There are also two acceptable denominators for ROA – ending balance of
total assets or average of total assets. Average assets is computed as beginning balance
+ ending balance divided by 2.
- Return on equity(ROE) measures the return (net income) generated by the owner’s
capital invested in the business. Similar to ROA, the denominator of ROE may also be
total equity or average equity.

Sample Financial Statements to be used for the computations:

Cash ₱ 200,000
Accounts Receivable 400,000
Inventory 250,000
Equipment 550,000
Total Assets 1,400,000

Accounts Payable 300,000

Notes Payable 400,000

b) Operational efficiency ratio measures the ability of the company to utilize its assets.
Operational efficiency is measured based on the company’s ability to generate sales from the
utilization of its assets, as a whole or individually. The turnover ratios are primarily used to
measure operational efficiency.

- Asset turnover measures the peso value of sales generated for every peso of the
company’s assets. The higher the turnover rate, the more efficient the company is in
using its assets.
- Fixed asset turnover is indicator of the efficiency of fixed assets in generating sales.
- Inventory turnover is measured based on cost of goods sold and not sales. As such
both the numerator and denominator of this ratio are measured at cost. It is an indicator
of how fast the company can sell inventory. An alternative to inventory turnover is
“days in inventory”. This measures the number of days from acquisition to sale.
- Accounts receivables turnover the measures the number of times the company was
able to collect on its average accounts receivable during the year. An alternative to
accounts receivable turnover is “days in accounts receivable”. This measures the
company’s collection period which is the number of days from sale to collection.

6 NegOr_Q3_FABM211_Module6_v2
 Financial Health Ratios investigate the company’s solvency and liquidity ratios. Solvency
refers to the company’s capacity to pay their long-term liabilities. On the other hand, liquidity
ratio intends to measure the company’s ability to pay debts that are coming due (short term
debt).

- Debt ratio indicates the percentage of the company’s assets that are financed by debt.
A high debt to asset ratio implies a high level of debt.
- Equity ratio indicates the percentage of the company’s assets that are financed by
capital. A high equity to asset ratio implies a high level of capital.
- Debt to equity ratio indicates the company’s reliance to debt or liability as a source of
financing relative to equity. A high ratio suggests a high level of debt that may result in
high interest expense.
- Interest coverage ratio measures the company’s ability to cover the interest expense
on its liability with its operating income. Creditors prefer a high coverage ratio to give
them protection that interest due to them can be paid.
- Current ratio is used to evaluate the company’s liquidity. It seeks to measure whether
there are sufficient current assets to pay for current liabilities. Creditors normally prefer
a current ratio of 2.

7 NegOr_Q3_FABM211_Module6_v2
- Quick ratio is a stricter measure of liquidity. It does not consider all the current assets,
only those that are easier to liquidate such as cash and accounts receivable that are
referred to as quick assets.

Understanding on the Importance of Computing and Interpreting Financial
Ratios in the Business

Managing a company, organization or enterprise can be a challenging task. Along with

the day-to-day activities of running the company, it is vital to evaluate performance on a regular
basis to ensure success. Analyzing the financial and operational condition of the organization
to understand strengths and weaknesses helps leadership determine where improvements or
changes can be made. The good news is that company performance information can easily be
gleaned through financial ratios. Financial ratios use information contained in the financial
statement to evaluate performance effectiveness in key areas. Here we provide a summary of
key ratios, what they measure, and what value they can bring to your organization.
Financial ratios are important tools for quantitative analysis. Certain ratios are available
to evaluate both short- and long-term financial and operational performance, making them
useful at identifying trends in the business and providing warning signs when it may be time
to make a change. There are also specific ratios that can measure important variables essential
to one industry or another. By evaluating ratios, a business can benchmark itself against similar
companies and understand its strengths, weaknesses, threats and areas of opportunity.
