Total Assets Turnover

Total assets turnover measures a firm's ability to

generate sales from a given level of assets. A large asset turnover is preferred to a low one. Total assets turnover is related to three similar ratios
a. Accounts receivable turnover b. Inventory turnover c. Fixed asset turnover
Apr 22, 2012 CA N Maheswara Rao 21

Fixed Asset Turnover


Measures the relation between investment in long-term

or fixed assets (such as property, plant, equipment) and sales. Efficient use of fixed assets would be associated with high sales. If fixed assets turn over every four years, then each Rupees invested in fixed assets is generating a quarter of a Rupees in sales per year. A high turnover is preferred to a low one.

Measuring Ability to Pay Current Liabilities

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold Average inventory Average inventory

Times-interest-earned Times-interest-earned = Income from operations = Income from operations Interest expense Interest expense
Apr 22, 2012 CA N Maheswara Rao 29

Measures of Long-Term Risk


Debt-to-equity ratio (total liabilities)/(total equities) total equities = total liab. + shareholders equity Percentage of total financing provided by debtors or creditors. A firm is said to be highly leveraged when this ratio is large. Cash from operations to total liabilities ratio Measures the ability of the firm to pay all liabilities from cash without new debt or additional investment.
Apr 22, 2012 CA N Maheswara Rao 30

Measures of Long-Term Risk (Cont.)


Interest coverage ratio =

(interest before interest and income tax) (interest expense) Number of times interest is covered by income Indicates the relative protection that operating profitability provides to debtors Some analysts use cash flows instead of income
Apr 22, 2012 CA N Maheswara Rao 31

Profit Margin Ratio

Profit margin ratio measures a firm's ability to

control its expenses relative to its sales.


We expect expenses to grow as sales grow, but not

as fast. A high profit margin ratio is preferred to a low one.

Return on Equity

The numerator measures return as net income reduced by

any payments to preferred shareholders as these dividends are not available to the common shareholder and have not been deducted from net income. The denominator is the average amount contributed by common shareholders which includes
Common stock at par, Additional paid in capital, and Retained earnings.

ROCE
The first two have been previously defined. Leverage ratio indicates the relative proportion of

capital provided by common shareholders as distinct from that provided by creditors (debtors) or preferred shareholders.

Earnings Per Share


EPS does not consider the amount of assets or capital required

to generate earnings.
EPS is of limited use in comparing two firms. For investment purposes, the price to earnings ratio is

sometimes used (P/E ratio). This is the return to the purchaser of a share.
P/E = (market price of a share of stock)/(EPS) A low P/E is preferred to a high P/E, same earnings at a lower price.

Pro Forma Financial Statements


Pro forma refers to a projection of what the financial

statements might look like if certain future conditions prevail. Of course, a pro forma statement is only as good as the forecast of the future conditions. In order to prepare a set of pro forma statements:
1. Project operating revenues 2. Project operating expenses given the level of revenues 3. Project assets required to support the revenues 4. Project financing for the additional assets 5. Project the cost of the financing 6. Project the cash flow statement based on assumptions about the timing of revenues and payments on debt and for expenses.

MVA & EVA (to Equity Owners)


Market Value Added
Market Value of Equity minus Total Money Invested by Equity Owners (Book Value of Equity)
Total Value created by owning assets which have a greater return than cost of equity

Economic Value Added


Net Income for a Year minus Cost of Equity times Book Value of Equity

Value created this year by earning profits in excess of cost of equity capital

(Conceptually, this is the true economic profit created during the year; income above capital cost.)

Reconciliation of MVA & EVA


MVA is the present value of expected future EVAs. If the past years EVA is expected to grow by 8% and the cost of equity is 13%, MVA = [Rs.70 (1.08)] / [0.13 - 0.08] = Rs.1,512
(This is an application of the constant growth valuation model that is discussed later in the course)

Accounting Statement of Cash Flows

Statement of Cash Flows


A relatively new financial statement Intended to highlight major areas from which cash was received

and used Until accountants began reporting the Statement of Cash Flows, financial analysts prepared a Sources & Uses of Funds statement based on published balance sheets and income statements
The Statement of Cash Flows categorizes

follows: --- Cash Flows from Operations --- Cash Flows from Investing Activities --- Cash Flows from Financing Activities These categories fit well with how finance people view the firm

cash flows as

We will not treat any Non- Operating Assets in this set of

notes

Non-operating assets include items such as excess marketable securities, Goodwill recorded in an acquisition, deferred taxes, land held for future use, investment in unconsolidated subsidiaries, and so forth

Preparation of a Statement of Cash Flows


Published financials will include such a statement. But many times you will not be working with audited financials or will have to adjust published statements to organize them in a more meaningful way. Thus, you should know how to prepare the Statement.

1 Start by subtracting one balance sheet from another 2 Arrange balance sheet changes into two columns

Sources of Cash Uses of Cash 3 Be sure the two columns balance (total to the same value) 4 Rearrange the data into the three categories used in the Statement of Cash Flows

Analysis of the Statement of Cash Flows


Operations drained cash
--- NOPAT + Depreciation provided Rs.109,820 --- but Inventory & A / R absorbed Rs.171,600 of potential cash inflow

New investment took another Rs.36,000 of cash This was financed by new debt (mainly Long-Term) And they continued to pay dividends (Rs.22,000)

This state of affairs can not continue


Apr 22, 2012 CA N Maheswara Rao 60

Implications of the Statement of Cash Flows


There might be a problem with excess Inventory &

Accounts Receivable
Unless sales increase substantially to warrant higher

Inventory & Receivables, they need to be reduced


Notice also that Inventory & Receivables were financed

with long-term debt, is there a problem with this?
