Book Description
How does an investor, creditor or manager know whether a company is doing well, or about to crash and burn?
Optimism and good wishes aside, nothing tells the tale of how a company is doing more clearly than ratios. They allow a company to compare itself to its best competitors and to its own year over year performance.
Many books contain ratios – but buried under tons of other material. This book provides a clean, simple method of evaluating company performance in all the important fields.
After showing how to reformat financial statements before developing ratios, Ratios covers
• profitability
• creditworthiness
• staffing and executive compensation
• cash flow
• asset management
• break even analysis
• profit planning
• time value of money
• computing mortgage and bond payments
• capital budgeting
• project ranking and optimal capital budgets
• Finally it shows how investment banks and others might use ratios to value a company and the specialised ratios and key performance indicators of a large number of industries.
