MODULE 9
BUSINESS FINANCE
Financial statements are tools that managers use to help them in their decision-making
considering financial implications. This module will discuss the different financial statements,
their purposes, and how they are prepared. A detailed discussion of retained earnings and
accumulated profits of a busines is provided so the students will learn to appreciate them.

Liquidity is the ability of assets to be converted quickly into cash. Ideally, a company
wants to be liquid to meet current debts, Balance sheet has current liabilities for short-term
debts, payable for a period of less than a year; and long-term debts, payable for more than a
year. It is assumed that the firm's inventory will be converted to cash during the course of a
year so that the receipts from the inventory can be used to service the current debt. Commonly
used ratios to measure liquidity are: current ration and quick or acid test ratio.
Current ratio is the ratio of current assets to current liabilities.
Current assets
Current ratio = Current liabilities
Quick ratio is the ratio of current assets, excluding inventory, divided by current
liabilities.
The current ratio makes the assumption that the company's inventory is being sold at a
steady rate and as a result, being converted to cash. Some companies may have
inventory sold on a seasonal basis. Industry standard for current ratio is 2:1. If the quick ratio is
less than 1.0, the firm must plan on selling inventory in order to cover current liabilities. If
quick ratio is larger than 1.0, the firm must do something for its slowdown in sales.
ACTIVITY RATIOS
Activity ratios are related to operations and operating efficiency because they measure
how quickly the firm is converting assets into cash.
Inventory turnover measures how many times per period (usually a year) the firm sells
through its inventory. To be more accurate, the firm should use an average inventory rather
than the year-ending inventory.
Sales_____
Inventory turnover = Average inventory
Other companies calculate inventory turnover by using cost of goods sold instead of sales
and dividing by average inventory at cost. Another way of looking at inventory turnover is to
calculate how many days of sales are tied up in inventory.
Inventory
Days of sales in inventory = Sales per day
Some businesses may have longer days for stocks to stay before they can be sold out,
others may have quicker or shorter days for inventory turnover.
Accounts receivable turnover is the annual credit sales of the firm divided by the accounts
receivable.
Accounts receivable turnover = Annual Sales
Accounts receivable
Average collection period is also called "days of sales outstanding,"' average
collection period describes the average time it takes to collect accounts,
Average collection period = Receivables
Sales per day
A 365-day year is usually used; 360-day year can be used, to exclude official
“holydays", Either can be used so long as the financial analyst is consistent and notes the
assumptions.
Inventory conversion cycle combines the days of sales in inventory and days of sales
in accounts receivables. It gives the company an idea as to how long it takes to convert
inventory to accounts receivables, and subsequently, into cash.
Asset turnover is concerned with efficient use of assets. The goal is not to sell through
the fixed assets but to maximize the efficiency of those assets. True test of efficiency is not
inventory turnover but how many sales can be generated in the space available, since sales
floor, is a fixed asset. The revenue is derived from the efficient utilization of the space. For
service firms, fixed asset turnover ratios are better indicator of success.
Fixed asset turnover looks at sales in comparison to the long-term assets of the firm,
such as land, equipment, plant.
Total asset turnover combines the effects of current asset management, the conversion
of inventory and accounts receivable into cash; and fixed asset management. It allows the
firm to compare how well it is managing each type of asset. If total assets are turning over more
slowly than fixed asset. If total assets are turning over more slowly than fixed assets, the firm is
not aggressively managing the current assets of cash, accounts receivable, and inventory.
Sales
Total asset turnover = Total Assets
LEVERAGE RATIOS
It is the responsibility of the financial manager to determine the level of debt that is
appropriate for a firm. Debt or loan have, a fixed value, if the company is, making regular
payments. Its principal value decreases over time. If the firm is growing, it value increases
which back to stockholders in the form of dividends, or reinvested capital. If the firm can earn
more that the of loan interest, it may be worth securing additional loan or leveraging the firm.
Debt to equity ratio shows the relationship between debt and equity Where:
Debt
Debt to equity ratio = Equity
The higher the debt of firm in relationship to its equity, the more leverages it is, and the
risk it is, and the more risk it has assumed. Another way of looking at the financing choices of
the company is to compare the debt burden to the value of the total assets. Where:
Debt ratio = Debt
Total assets
Times-interest earned ratio determines if the firm is capable of serving the interest they
have for debts, and gives idea of whether additional interest expense could be added. Debt
obliges the firm to make specified payments of both principal and interest at regular intervals.
Operating income
(earnings before interest and taxes)
Times-interest-earned ratio = Interest
PROFITABILITY RATIOS
Since the goal of most companies is to earn a profit, these ratios are the most important
to financial managers.
Gross profit margin profitability is the broadest measure of the firm's profit level.
Gross margin measure profit before operating expenses, interest, and taxes are
subtracted.
From the data, yearly revenue is Php2,000,000, while research and development costs
were Php94,200,000, resulting in a loss from operations. There is no gross profit margin that can
be computed for Rose Research Company since there is not gross profit.
Operating profit margin examines the income of the company before taking into
account the interest and taxes.
The difference between gross margin and operating margin is that the latter takes into
account overhead costs, not just direct costs of goods sold.
MARKET VALUES
A firm's value is related to what an investor will pay for its stock. If demand for the stock
increases, then its price will also increase, wherein its increase share price can be tied to
expectation of increased in future earnings. Some the tools that determine share prices are book
value and earnings per share.
Book value is the basis for fairly determining the worth of the asset' relation to a holders'
share, upon liquidation of the firm.
Total assets
Book value = Number of shares outstanding
Earnings per share aims to identify the valid earnings per share value' looking at trends
overtime or the earnings of other companies in the industry.
