Ratios
Ratio analysis is use to evaluate the company’s financial status. By doing a ratio analysis of the company’s financial statement, the lender will know where the company stands financially. The ratio analysis includes the quick and current liquidity ratios, DuPont ratios, profit margin, asset utilization, and financial leverage. The quick ratio shows if the company is able to meet its short term goals. Quick ratio is current assets minus Inventory divided by current liabilities. Current Ratio is the current assets divided by the current liabilities. The DuPont Ratio helps identify the return on equity. It helps break it down into sections. The DuPont ratio does not measure the net value; it measures the gross value instead. It shows how the operating efficiency, the asset use efficiency, and the financial leverage affect the Return on equity. The operating efficiency is measured by the profit margin. The asset use efficiency is measured by the total asset turnover. The financial leverage is measure by the equity multiplier. (" 0 inshare,”). The profit margin is also called the net profit margin. It measures how the company is profitable. The net profit margin is the net income divided by the revenue multiplied by 100. The asset utilization shows how the company uses its assets. Asset utilization can be measured using two formulas, receivable turnover and Inventory turnover. Receivables turnover is the annual credit sales divided by the accounts receivable. The inventory turnover is the cost of goods sold divided by the average inventory ("Financial ratios,”).
The financial leverage ratio measures how the company is using its long term debt. This can be measure by determining the company’s debt ratio and the company’s debt to equity ratio. The debt ratio is the total debt divided by the total assets. The debt to equity ratio is the total debt divided by the total equity. Starbucks Corp.
