Formula Sheet:

Long-term debt ratio = Long-term debt / (long-term debt + equity)

Times Interest Earned = EBIT / Interest Payments

Cash Coverage Ratio = (EBIT + depreciation) / interest payments

Net working capital to total asset ratio = Net Working Capital / Total Assets

Quick Ratio = (Cash + Marketable Securities + Receivables) / Current Liabilities

Cash Ratio = (Cash + Marketable Securities) / (Current liabilities)

NWC Turnover = Sales / (Average Net working capital)

Average Collection Period = average receivables / average daily sales

Inventory Turnover Ratio = Cost of goods sold / average inventory

Day’s sales in inventory = (Average Inventory / Cost of Goods Sold) x 365

Net Profit Margin = Net Profit / Sales

Operating Profit Margin = EBIT / Sales

Gross Profit Margin = Gross Profit / Sales

Return on Asset = Net Income / average total assets

Return on Equity = Net Income / average equity

Payout Ratio = Dividends / Net Income

Plowback Ratio = 1 – Payout Ratio

P/E Ratio = Current Price per share / Earning per Share

Forecasted P/E Ratio = Current Price per Share / Forecasted Earning per share

Dividend Yield = Dividend per Share / Current Price per Share

Dividend Discount Model - Price per Share = Next yr’s dividend / (r-g)

Market to Book Ratio = Stock Price / Book Value per Share

Tobin’s Q = Market Value of Assets / estimated replacement cost

Dupont Analysis:

Page 7: Practice Questions

ROA = (Sales / Assets) x (Net Income / Sales)

ROE = (Assets / Equity) x (Sales / Assets) x (EBIT / Sales) x (Net Income / EBIT)

Economic Profit = (ROI – r) x Capital invested

Economic Value Added (EVA) = Income earned – (cost of capital x investment)

Additional Financing Needed = (A/S) x g x S – (L/S) x g x S – Net Margin x (1 + g) x S – D

Gross Working Capital = Total Current Assets

Net Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
