Accounts receivable are amounts that a com pany expects to receive from its customers in the future.

The ratio between liabilities and shareholder equity as a source of financing the company.
Accounts payable represent amounts due to others, often over a short time, and typically to the com pany’s sup
Accrued items broadly represent amounts due to others foractivities already delivered. One example is salaries:
be produced in the middle of a pay period, and the com pany may owe salaries that have not been paid yet.
Debt is distinctive because it has an explicit interest rate. It is an important indicator on how assets are financed
Shareholders’ equity represents an owner ship claim with variable returns—in effect, the owners get all residual
business after costs and liabilities
Liquidity ratios mea sure this risk by emphasizing the company’s ability to meet short- term obligations with ass

The current ratio asks a question on behalf of a company’s suppliers: Will this com pany be able to pay its suppl

The quick ratio resembles the current ratio, but excludes inventories from the numerator
For every dollar of revenue, how much money does a firm get to keep after all relevant costs?
There are several different mea sures of profits that consider dif fer ent sets of costs. Gross profit only subtracts
to the production of goods from revenue, while operating profit also subtracts other operating costs, such as sel
administrative costs. Finally, net profit also subtracts interest and tax expenses from operating profit.
Return on equity (ROE), measures the annual return that shareholders earn. In par ticUlar, for every dollar of eq

How much profit does a company generate for every dollar of assets?
EBIT = Operating Profit. DA = Depreciattion & Amortization
Let’s begin by breaking it into two parts— EBIT and DA. EBIT is just a fancy nance term for something you alread
prot. If you work up from the bottom of the prot statement, you can recharacterize operating prot as “earnings b
taxes,” or EBIT. Since some companies have dif fer ent tax burdens and capital structures, EBIT provides a way
for mances more directly. DA stands for “depreciation and amortization.” Depreciation refers to how physical as
and equipment, lose value over time, and amortization refers to that same phenomenon but for intangible asset
emphasize DA is because they are expenses that are not associated with the outlay of cash; it is just an approxi
value of an asset.
Companies that focus on selling to other businesses (B2B) tend to have a larger
Accounts Receivable position (compared to their sales revenu) than those who sell to
consumers. As B2B deliver large volumes to other companies, payments are agreed
through T&C that allow x days to payment. While consumers pay directly.
Companies that show a large number accounts payable could indicate a possibility of
financial trouble. There is a relation to the accounts receivable. If these numbers are in
balance, is there is a constant flow of goods between both.
The long term debt has to be taken in consideration together with the cash position
(assets in cash)of a company.
Venture capital rms, which provide funding for entrepreneurial ventures, almost always
receive preferred stock in exchange for their funding. Why do they prefer this form of
financing? Venture capital firms, which provide funding for entrepreneurial ventures,

Suppliers like to see high liquidity ratios because they want to ensure that their
customers can pay them. For shareholders, greater liquidity creates a trade- off. Yes,
they want to ensure that the company doesn’t go bankrupt. But highly liquid assets, like
cash and marketable securities, may not provide much of a return.
This ratio is a key way to think about if a supplier should extend credit to a company and
if a company will be able to survive the next six or twelve months.
For companies with high- risk inventory, the quick ratio provides a more skeptical view
of their liquidity.
For example, Airbus Group, the European aerospace and defense manufacturer, built a
new factory in Mobile, Alabama, that cost $600 million. Because of accrual accounting,
Airbus would report more moderate profits over time rather than losses in 2015 and
then profits after the plant started production. But this representation of profits is quite
distinct from their true cash out flows, obscures the time value of money, and may
reflect managerial discretion while cash flows would not.
