ABC COMPANY
CASH FLOW STATEMENT
Financial statement (FS) analysis is the process of evaluating risks, performances, financial
health and future prospects of a business by subjecting financial statement data to computational and
analytical techniques with the objective of making economic decisions (White et.al 1998 as cited by
Monfero et.al 2016, 64).
The ratio analysis expresses the relationship among selected items of financial statement data.
The relationship is expressed in terms of a percentage, a rate, or a simple proportion (Weygandtet.al.
2013 as cited by Monfero et al. 2016, 81).
Liquidity pertains to the company’s ability to meet its currently maturing obligations. In
short, it is the capability to pay for short-term debts. These would require a good amount of cash and
other liquid assets such as accounts receivable, inventory, trading securities, and prepaid assets.
These ratios are very important to the short term creditors of a company. These ratios would
determine if the borrowing company is in a position to pay the borrowed principal and interest when
they fall due.
A good liquidity position would encourage banks or financial institutions to lend while a bad
liquidity position may scare off potential creditors. Different ratios under liquidity ratio are:
a. Working capital
The liquidity capital is the difference between current assets and current liabilities. This is
one of the simplest liquidity ratios. A positive working capital is preferred because it would mean
that there is enough current assets to pay all of the current liabilities at the current period.
On the other hand, a negative working capital is to be avoided because it would mean that the
company would surely default on some of its liabilities.
b. Current ratio
The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company's ability to pay short-term
obligations or those due within one year. It tells investors and analysts how a company can maximize
the current assets on its balance sheet to satisfy its current debt and other payables.
The acid test ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures the ability of a company to pay its current
liabilities when they come due with only quick assets. Quick assets are current assets that can be
converted to cash within 90 days or in the short-term. Cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments
or marketable securities, and current accounts receivable are considered quick assets.
It is a more strict variation of the current ratio formula. It removes inventory and prepaid
expenses from the numerator component.
This ratio measures the frequency of conversion of the company’s accounts receivable to
cash. It measures how many times the company collected its accounts receivable from its customers.
Accounts receivable turnover is the number of times per year that a business collects its
average accounts receivable. The ratio is used to evaluate the ability of a company to efficiently issue
credit to its customers and collect funds from them in a timely manner.
The average collection period is a measure of how many days it takes a firm, on average, to
collect its receivables. It indicates the efficiency of the collection process and the lower it is the
shorter the cash cycle of the business is, which has a positive impact on its profitability.
The inventory turnover ratio is an activity ratio and a tool to evaluate the liquidity of
company’s inventory. It measures how many times a company has sold and replaced its inventory
during a certain period of time.
The financial ratio days' sales in inventory tell you the number of days it took a company to
sell its inventory during the recent year. Keep in mind that a company's inventory will change
throughout the year, and its sales will fluctuate as well. Therefore, you should view this as an average
from the past.
The number of days in operating cycle are the measures on how long it would take for the company to
transform its inventory back to cash. This is the combination of the average collection period and the
average age of inventory. The goal is to always have a shorter number of days of operating cycle. A
shorter number would indicate that the company would have additional cash at an earlier time.
