Use the financial statements below to complete a financial ratio analysis.

The ratios should be calculated on the ratio worksheet. Make sure to reference

amounts from the statements onto your ratios. Be sure that your answer

uses the correct format for that ratio: times, percentage, days, dollar amount.

Ratio Format:

Show with your answer whether the ratio is times, perentage, or dollar amount.

For example:

o

Current ratio is times, so it would be shown as a number compared to one.

(ie. 2.08 to 1 or 2.08:1 )

o

Working capital is a dollar amount, so it would be shown as currency.

(ie. $11, 190 )

o

Net margin is a percentage, so it would be shown with a % sign.

(ie. 12.7% )

Take a look at the ratio descriptions in the textbook to determine if the ratio is

times, percentage, or dollar amount.

Decimal Places on Ratios

The following are typically accepted rules for decimal places on ratios:

o

Ratios: two decimal places

o

Dollars: two decimal places (the book showed three decimal places for

earnings per share but we don't need to do that for this class)

o

Days: one decimal place

o

Percentages: one decimal place (the textbook showed percentages to two

decimal places but I think that is overkill)

o

Price-Earnings ratio: two decimal places

o

Times: two decimal places
