In 2008, the SEC announced a plan to allow

2012, the SEC is still weighing their options as
to whether or not they will require mandatory
use of IFRS and when.

Learning Objective 5-7
Calculate and interpret the
debt-to-assets, asset turnover,
and net profit margin ratios.
5-28
A Basic Business Model
Most businesses can be broken down into 4 elements:
(1) Obtain financing from lenders and investors, which is used to
invest in assets,
(2) Invest in assets, which are used to generate revenues,
(3) Generate revenues, which produce net income,
(4) Produce net income, which is needed to satisfy lenders and
investors.

Financial Statement Ratios
In addition to making it possible to compare
companies of different sizes, a benefit of ratio
analysis is that it enables comparisons between
companies reporting in different currencies
(dollars vs. euros).
5-30
Financial Statement Ratios
The debt-to-assets ratio provides the percentage of
assets financed by debt. A higher ratio means
greater financial risk.
5-31
Financial Statement Ratios
The asset turnover ratio measures how well assets
are used to generate sales. A higher ratio means
greater efficiency.
5-32
Financial Statement Ratios
The net profit margin ratio measures the ability to
generate sales while controlling expenses. A higher
ratio means better performance.
5-33
How Transactions Affect Ratios
Three-step process:
1. Analyze the transaction to determine its effects on the
accounting equation.
2. Relate the effects in step 1 to the ratio’s components,
to determine whether each component increases,
decreases, or stays the same.
3. Evaluate the combined impact of the effects in step 2
on the overall ratio.
