liabilities

turned over a year

taxes(EBIT) to interest charges; a measure of the firm’s ability to meet iits
annual interest payments

of sales; it is calculated by dividing operating income by sales

to generate operating income; it is calculated by dividing EBIT by total
assets

The DuPont Equation:
 ROE= Profit margin * total asset turnover* equity multiplier
 (net income)/(sales)* (sales)/(total assets)* (total assets)/(total common
equity)
Ratios in different industries









SUZARIMA

Summary of TGE’s Ratios
Benchmarking –ratio analysis involves comparisons with industry average figures,
but TGE & many other firms also compare themselves with the top firms in their
industry
...

management's goal to optimize capital allocation so that it generates as
much wealth as possible for its shareholders

SUZARIMA

The cost of money: factors affecting Production opportunities
 Time preferences for consumption
 Risk
 Inflation
Interest rate levels:

security in a world where no inflation was expected

earn on productive assets
IV
...

...

The nominal/quoted
...

The rate of interest on a security that is free of all risk, rRF is
proxied by the T-bill rate/ the T-bond rate, rRF includes an
inflation premium
...

A premium equal to expected inflation that investors add to the
real risk-free rate of return
...

rT-bill=rRF= r+ IP
 Default risk premium(DRP):
I
...
S Treasury bond
and a corporare bond of equal maturity & marketability
...

A premium added to the equlibrium interest rate on a security if
that security cannot be converted to cash on short notice & at
close to its “fair market value”











SUZARIMA

I
...

A premium that reflects interest rate risk,
 Reinvestment rate risk:
I

...

 Humped yield curve- yield curve where interest rates on medium-term
maturities are higher than rates on both short-and-long-term maturities
...
