  17. Acid Test Ratio

  18. 50,190 - 27,530 25,523 = .89 What is the firm’s Acid Test Ratio? Suppose the industry average is .92. What does this tell us?

  19. Average Collection Period

  20. 18,320 112,760/365 = 59.3 days What is the firm’s Average Collection Period? If the industry average is 47 days, what does this tell us?

  39. How does Leverage work? • Suppose we have an all equity-financed firm worth $100,000. Its earnings this year total $15,000. ROE = = 15% 15,000 100,000

  40. How does Leverage work? • Suppose the same $100,000 firm is financed with half equity, and half 8% debt (bonds). Earnings are still $15,000 … less interest. ROE =

  41. How does Leverage work? • Suppose the same $100,000 firm is financed with half equity, and half 8% debt (bonds). Earnings are still $15,000. ROE = = 15,000 - 4,000 50,000

  42. How does Leverage work? • Suppose the same $100,000 firm is financed with half equity, and half 8% debt (bonds). Earnings are still $15,000. ROE = = 22% 15,000 - 4,000 50,000
