It is of little value, for example, to know that, on a given date, the Smith Company has a cash balance of $1oooo. But suppose we know that this balance is only -IV per cent of all current liabilities whereas a year ago cash was 25 per cent of all current liabilities. Since the bankers for the company usually require a cash balance against bank lines, used or unused, of 20 per cent, we can see at once that the firm's cash condition is exhibiting a questionable tendency.We may make comparisons between items in the comparative financial statements as follows:1. Between items in the comparative balance sheeta) Between items in the balance sheet for one date, e.g., cash may be compared with current liabilitiesb) Between an item in the balance sheet for one date and the same item in the balance sheet for another date, e.g., cash today may be compared with cash a year agoc) Of ratios, or mathematical proportions, between two items in the balance sheet for one date and a like ratio in the balance sheet for another date, e.g., the ratio of cash to current liabilities today may be compared with a like ratio a year ago and the trend of cash condition noted2. Between items in the comparative statement of income and expensea) Between items in the statement for a given periodb) Between one item in this period's statement and the same item in last period's statementc) Of ratios between items in this period's statement and similar ratios in last period's statement3. Between items in the comparative balance sheet and items in the comparative statement of income and expensea) Between items in these statements for a given period, e.g., net profit for this year may be calculated as a percentage of net worth for this yearb) Of ratios between items in the two statements for a period of years, e.g., the ratio of net profit to net worth this year may-be compared with like ratios for last year, and for the years preceding thatOur comparative analysis will gain in significance if we take the foregoing comparisons or ratios and; in turn, compare them with:I. Such data as are absent from the comparative statements but are of importance in judging a concern's financial history and condition, for example, the stage of the business cycle2. Similar ratios derived from analysis of the comparative statements of competing concerns or of concerns in similar lines of business What financialratios are used in analyzing financial statements.- Comparative analysis of comparative financial statements may be expressed by mathematical ratios between the items compared, for example, a concern's cash position may be tested by dividing the item of cash by the total of current liability items and using the quotient to express the result of the test. Each ratio may be expressed in two ways, for example, the ratio of sales to fixed assets may be expressed as the ratio of fixed assets to sales. We shall express each ratio in such a way that increases from period to period will be favorable and decreases unfavorable to financial condition.We shall use the following financial ratios in analyzing comparative financial statements:I. Working-capital ratios1. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities2. The ratio of cash to total current liabilities3. The ratio of cash, salable securities, notes and accounts receivable to total current liabilities4. The ratio of sales to receivables, i.e., the turnover of receivables5. The ratio of cost of goods sold to merchandise inventory, i.e., the turnover of inventory6. The ratio of accounts receivable to notes receivable7. The ratio of receivables to inventory8. The ratio of net working capital to inventory9. The ratio of notes payable to accounts payableIO. The ratio of inventory to accounts payableII. Fixed and intangible capital ratios1. The ratio of sales to fixed assets, i.e., the turnover of fixed capital2. The ratio of sales to intangible assets, i.e., the turnover of intangibles3. The ratio of annual depreciation and obsolescence charges to the assetsagainst which depreciation is written off4. The ratio of net worth to fixed assetsIII. Capitalization ratios1. The ratio of net worth to debt.2. The ratio of capital stock to total capitalization .3. The ratio of fixed assets to funded debtIV. Income and expense ratios1. The ratio of net operating profit to sales2. The ratio of net operating profit to total capital3. The ratio of sales to operating costs and expenses4. The ratio of net profit to sales5. The ratio of net profit to net worth6. The ratio of sales to financial expenses7. The ratio of borrowed capital to capital costs8. The ratio of income on investments to investments9. The ratio of non-operating income to net operating profit10. The ratio of net operating profit to non-operating expense11. The ratio of net profit to capital stock12. The ratio of net profit reinvested to total net profit available for dividends on common stock13. The ratio of profit available for interest to interest expensesThis classification of financial ratios is permanent not exhaustive. -Other ratios may be used for purposes later indicated. Furthermore, some of the ratios reflect the efficiency with which a business has used its capital while others reflect efficiency in financing capital needs. The ratios of sales to receivables, inventory, fixed and intangible capital; the ratios of net operating profit to total capital and to sales; and the ratios of sales to operating costs and expenses reflect efficiency in the use of capital.' Most of the other ratios reflect financial efficiency.B. Technique of Financial Statement AnalysisAre the statements adequate in general?-Before attempting comparative analysis of given financial statements we wish to be sure that the statements are reasonably adequate for the purpose. They should, of course, be as complete as possible. They should also be of recent date. If not, their use must be limited to the period which they cover. Conclusions concerning 1923 conditions cannot safely be based upon 1921 statements.Does the comparative balance sheet reflect a seasonable situation? If so, it is important to know financial conditions at both the high and low points of the season. We must avoid unduly favorable judgment of the business at the low point when assets are very liquid and debt is low, and unduly unfavorable judgment at the high point when assets are less liquid and debt likely to be relatively high.Does the balance sheet for any date reflect the estimated financial condition after the sale of a proposed new issue of securities? If so, in order to ascertain the actual financial condition at that date it is necessary to subtract the amount of the security issue from net worth, if the. issue is of stock, or from liabilities, if bonds are to be sold. A like amount must also be subtracted from assets or liabilities depending upon how the estimated proceeds of the issue are reflected in the statement.Are the statements audited or unaudited? It is often said that audited statements, that is, complete audits rather than statements "rubber stamped" by certified public accountants, are desirable when they can be obtained. This is true, but the statement analyst should be certain that the given auditing film's reputation is beyond reproach.Is working-capital situation favorable ?-If the comparative statements to be analyzed are reasonably adequate for the purpose, the next step is to analyze the concern's working-capital trend and position. We may begin by ascertaining the ratio of current assets to current liabilities. This ratioaffords-a test of the concern's probable ability to pay current obligations without impairing its net working capital. It is, in part, a measure of ability to borrow additional working capital or to renew short-term loans without difficulty. The larger the excess of current assets over current liabilities the smaller the risk of loss to short-term creditors and the better the credit of the business, other things being equal. A ratio of two dollars of current assets to one dollar of current liabilities is the "rule-of-thumb" ratio generally considered satisfactory, assuming all current assets are conservatively valued and all current liabilities revealed.The rule-of-thumb current ratio is not a satisfactory test ofworking-capital position and trend. A current ratio of less than two dollars for one dollar may be adequate, or a current ratio of more than two dollars for one dollar may be inadequate. It depends, for one thing, upon the liquidity of the current assets.The liquidity of current assets varies with cash position.-The larger the proportion of current assets in the form of cash the more liquid are the current assets as a whole. Generally speaking, cash should equal at least 20 per cent of total current liabilities (divide cash by total current liabilities). Bankers typically require a concern to maintain bank balances equal to 20 per cent of credit lines whether used or unused. Open-credit lines are not shown on the balance sheet, hence the total of current liabilities (instead of notes payable to banks) is used in testing cash position. Like the two-for-one current ratio, the 20 per cent cash ratio is more or less a rule-of-thumb standard.The cash balance that will be satisfactory depends upon terms of sale, terms of purchase, and upon inventory turnover. A firm selling goods for cash will find cash inflow more nearly meeting cash outflow than will a firm selling goods on credit. A business which pays cash for all purchases will need more ready money than one which buys on long terms of credit. The more rapidly the inventory is sold the more nearly will cash inflow equal cash outflow, other things equal.Needs for cash balances will be affected by the stage of the business cycle. Heavy cash balances help to sustain bank credit and pay expenses when a period of liquidation and depression depletes working capital and brings a slump in sales. The greater the effects of changes in the cycle upon a given concern the more thought the financial executive will need to give to the size of his cash balances.Differences in financial policies between different concerns will affect the size of cash balances carried. One concern may deem it good policy to carry as many open-bank lines as it can get, while another may carry only enough lines to meet reasonably certain needs for loans. The cash balance of the first firm is likely to be much larger than that of the second firm.The liquidity of current assets varies with ability to meet "acid test."- Liquidity of current assets varies with the ratio of cash, salable securities, notes and accounts receivable (less adequate reserves for bad debts), to total current liabilities (divide the total of the first four items by total current liabilities). This is the so-called "acid test" of the liquidity of current condition. A ratio of I: I is considered satisfactory since current liabilities can readily be paid and creditors risk nothing on the uncertain values of merchandise inventory. A less than 1:1 ratio may be adequate if receivables are quickly collected and if inventory is readily and quickly sold, that is, if its turnover is rapid andif the risks of changes in price are small.The liquidity of current assets varies with liquidity of receivables. This may be ascertained by dividing annual sales by average receivables or by receivables at the close of the year unless at that date receivables do not represent the normal amount of credit extended to customers. Terms of sale must be considered in judging the turnover of receivables. For example, if sales for the year are $1,200,000 and average receivables amount to $100,000, the turnover of receivables is $1,200,000/$100,000=12. Now, if credit terms to customers are net in thirty days we can see that receivables are paid promptly.Consideration should also be given market conditions and the stage of the business cycle. Terms of credit are usually longer in farming sections than in industrial centers. Collections are good in prosperous times but slow in periods of crisis and liquidation.Trends in the liquidity of receivables will also be reflected in the ratio of accounts receivable to notes receivable, in cases where goods are typically sold on open account. A decline in this ratio may indicate a lowering of credit standards since notes receivable are usually given to close overdue open accounts. If possible, a schedule of receivables should be obtained showing those not due, due, and past due thirty, sixty, and ninety days. Such a, schedule is of value in showing the efficiency of credits and collections and in explaining the trend in turnover of receivables. The more rapid the turnover of receivables the smaller the risk of loss from bad debts; the greater the savings of interest on the capital invested in receivables, and the higher the profit on total capital, other things being equal.Author(s): C.

Review of accounting studies,2003,16(8):531-560Financial Statement Analysis of Leverage and How It Informs About Protability and Price-to-Book RatiosDoron Nissim, Stephen. PenmanAbstractThis paper presents a ?nancial statement analysis that distinguishes leverage that arises in ?nancing activities from leverage that arises in operations. The analysis yields two leveraging equations, one for borrowing to ?nance operations and one for borrowing in the course of operations. These leveraging equations describe how the two types of leverage affect book rates of return on equity. An empirical analysis shows that the ?nancial statement analysis explains cross-sectional differences in current and future rates of return as well as price-to-book ratios, which are based on expected rates of return on equity. The paper therefore concludes that balance sheet line items for operating liabilities are priced differently than those dealing with ?nancing liabilities. Accordingly, ?nancial statement analysis that distinguishes the two types of liabilities informs on future pro?tability and aids in the evaluation of appropriate price-to-book ratios. Keywords: financing leverage; operating liability leverage; rate of return on equity; price-to-book ratioLeverage is traditionally viewed as arising from ?nancing activities: Firms borrow to raise cash for operations. This paper shows that, for the purposes of analyzing pro?tability and valuing ?rms, two types of leverage are relevant, one indeed arising from ?nancing activities but another from operating activities. The paper supplies a ?nancial statement analysis of the two types of leverage that explains differences in shareholder pro?tability and price-to-book ratios.The standard measure of leverage is total liabilities to equity. However, while some liabilities—like bank loans and bonds issued—are due to ?nancing, other liabilities—like trade payables, deferred revenues, and pension liabilities—result from transactions with suppliers, customers and employees in conducting operations. Financing liabilities are typically traded in well-functioning capital markets where issuers are price takers. In contrast, ?rms are able to add value in operations because operations involve trading in input and output markets that are less perfect than capital markets. So, with equity valuation in mind, there are a priori reasons for viewing operating liabilities differently from liabilities that arise in ?nancing.Our research asks whether a dollar of operating liabilities on the balance sheet is priced differently from a dollar of ?nancing liabilities. As operating and ?nancing liabilities are components of the book value of equity, the question is equivalent to asking whether price-to-book ratios depend on the composition of book values. The price-to-book ratio is determined by the expected rate of return on the book value so, if components of book value command different price premiums, they must imply different expected rates of return on book value. Accordingly, the paper also investigates whether the two types of liabilities are associated with differences in future book rates of return.Standard ?nancial statement analysis distinguishes shareholder pro?tability that arises from operations from that which arises from borrowing to ?nance operations. So, return on assets isdistinguished from return on equity, with the difference attributed to leverage. However, in the standard analysis, operating liabilities are not distinguished from ?nancing liabilities. Therefore, to develop the speci?cations for the empirical analysis, the paper presents a ?nancial statement analysis that identi?es the effects of operating and ?nancing liabilities on rates of return on book value—and so on price-to-book ratios—with explicit leveraging equations that explain when leverage from each type of liability is favorable or unfavorable.The empirical results in the paper show that ?nancial statement analysis that distinguishes leverage in operations from leverage in ?nancing also distinguishes differences in contemporaneous and future pro?tability among ?rms. Leverage from operating liabilities typically levers pro?tability more than ?nancing leverage and has a higher frequency of favorable effects.Accordingly, for a given total leverage from both sources, ?rms with higher leverage from operations have higher price-to-book ratios, on average. Additionally, distinction between contractual and estimated operating liabilities explains further differences in ?rms’ pro?tability and their price-to-book ratios.Our results are of consequence to an analyst who wishes to forecast earnings and book rates of return to value ?rms. Those forecasts—and valuations derived from them—depend, we show, on the composition of liabilities. The ?nancial statement analysis of the paper, supported by the empirical results, shows how to exploit information in the balance sheet for forecasting and valuation.The paper proceeds as follows. Section 1 outlines the ?nancial statements analysis that identi?es the two types of leverage and lays out expressions that tie leverage measures to pro?tability. Section 2 links leverage to equity value and price-to-book ratios. The empirical analysis is in Section 3, with conclusions summarized in Section 4.1. Financial Statement Analysis of LeverageThe following ?nancial statement analysis separates the effects of ?nancing liabilities and operating liabilities on the pro?tability of shareholders’ equity. The analysis yields explicit leveraging equations from which the speci?cations for the empirical analysis are developed. Shareholder pro?tability, return on common equity, is measured asReturn on common equity (ROCE) = comprehensive net income ÷common equity (1) Leverage affects both the numerator and denominator of this pro?tability measure. Appropriate ?nancial statement analysis disentangles the effects of leverage. The analysis below, which elaborates on parts of Nissim and Penman (2001), begins by identifying components of the balance sheet and income statement that involve operating and ?nancing activities. The pro?tability due to each activity is then calculated and two types of leverage are introduced to explain both operating and ?nancing pro?tability and overall shareholder pro?tability.1.1 Distinguishing the Protability of Operations from the Protability of Financing ActivitiesWith a focus on common equity (so that preferred equity is viewed as a ?nancial liability), the balance sheet equation can be restated as follows:Common equity =operating assets＋financial assets－operating liabilities－Financial liabilities (2) The distinction here between operating assets (like trade receivables, inventory and property,plant and equipment) and ?nancial assets (the deposits and marketable securities that absorb excess cash) is made in other contexts. However, on the liability side, ?nancing liabilities are also distinguished here from operating liabilities. Rather than treating all liabilities as ?nancing debt, only liabilities that raise cash for operations—like bank loans, short-term commercial paper and bonds—areclassi?ed as such. Other liabilities—such as accounts payable, accrued expenses, deferred revenue, restructuring liabilities and pension liabilities—arise from operations. The distinction is not as simple as current versus long-term liabilities; pension liabilities, for example, are usually long-term, and short-term borrowing is a current liability.Rearranging terms in equation (2),Common equity = (operating assets－operating liabilities)－(financial liabilities－financial assets)Or,Common equity = net operating assets－net financing debt (3) This equation regroups assets and liabilities into operating and ?nancing activities. Net operating assets are operating assets less operating liabilities. So a ?rm might invest in inventories, but to the extent to which the suppliers of those inventories grant credit, the net investment in inventories is reduced. Firms pay wages, but to the extent to which the payment of wages is deferred in pension liabilities, the net investment required to run the business is reduced. Net ?nancing debt is ?nancing debt (including preferred stock) minus ?nancial assets. So, a ?rm may issue bonds to raise cash for operations but may also buy bonds with excess cash from operations. Its net indebtedness is its net position in bonds. Indeed a ?rm may be a net creditor (with more ?nancial assets than ?nancial liabilities) rather than a net debtor.The income statement can be reformulated to distinguish income that comes from operating and ?nancing activities:Comprehensive net income = operating income－net financing expense (4) Operating income is produced in operations and net ?nancial expense is incurred in the ?nancing of operations. Interest income on ?nancial assets is netted against interest expense on ?nancial liabilities (including preferred dividends) in net ?nancial expense. If interest income is greater than interest expense, ?nancing activities produce net ?nancial income rather than net ?nancial expense. Both operating income and net ?nancial expense (or income) are after tax.3 Equations (3) and (4) produce clean measures of after-tax operating pro?tability and the borrowing rate:Return on net operating assets (RNOA) = operating income ÷net operating assets (5) andNet borrowing rate (NBR) = net financing expense ÷net financing debt (6) RNOA recognizes that pro?tability must be based on the net assets invested in operations. So ?rms can increase their operating pro?tability by convincing suppliers, in the course of business, to grant or extend credit terms; credit reduces the investment that shareholders would otherwise have to put in the business. Correspondingly, the net borrowing rate, by excluding non-interest bearing liabilities from the denominator, gives the appropriate borrowing rate for the ?nancing activities.Note that RNOA differs from the more common return on assets (ROA), usually de?ned as income before after-tax interest expense to total assets. ROA does not distinguish operating and ?nancing activities appropriately. Unlike ROA, RNOA excludes ?nancial assets in the denominator and subtracts operating liabilities. Nissim and Penman (2001) report a median ROA for NYSE and AMEX ?rms from 1963–1999 of only 6.8%, but a median RNOA of 10.0%—much closer to what one would expect as a return to business operations.1.2 Financial Leverage and its Effect on Shareholder ProtabilityFrom expressions (3) through (6), it is straightforward to demonstrate that ROCE is a weighted average of RNOA and the net borrowing rate, with weights derived from equation (3):ROCE= [net operating assets ÷common equity× RNOA]－[net financing debt÷common equity ×net borrowing rate (7) Additional algebra leads to the following leveraging equation:ROCE = RNOA＋[FLEV× ( RNOA－net borrowing rate )] (8) where FLEV, the measure of leverage from ?nancing activities, isFinancing leverage (FLEV) =net financing debt ÷common equity (9) The FLEV measure excludes operating liabilities but includes (as a net against ?nancing debt) ?nancial assets. If ?nancial assets are greater than ?nancial liabilities, FLEV is negative. The leveraging equation (8) works for negative FLEV (in which case the net borrowing rate is the return on net ?nancial assets).This analysis breaks shareholder pro?tability, ROCE, down into that which is due to operations and that which is due to ?nancing. Financial leverage levers the ROCE over RNOA, with the leverage effect determined by the amount of ?nancial leverage (FLEV) and the spread between RNOA and the borrowing rate. The spread can be positive (favorable) or negative (unfavorable).1.3 Operating Liability Leverage and its Effect on Operating ProtabilityWhile ?nancing debt levers ROCE, operating liabilities lever the pro?tability of operations, RNOA. RNOA is operating income relative to net operating assets, and net operating assets are operating assets minus operating liabilities. So, the more operating liabilities a ?rm has relative to operating assets, the higher its RNOA, assuming no effect on operating income in the numerator. The intensity of the use of operating liabilities in the investment base is operating liability leverage:Operating liability leverage (OLLEV) =operating liabilities ÷net operating assets (10) Using operating liabilities to lever the rate of return from operations may not come for free, however; there may be a numerator effect on operating income. Suppliers provide what nominally may be interest-free credit, but presumably charge for that credit with higher prices for the goods and services supplied. This is the reason why operating liabilities are inextricably a part of operations rather than the ?nancing of operations. The amount that suppliers actually charge for this credit is dif?cult to identify. But the market borrowing rate is observable. The amount that suppliers would implicitly charge in prices for the credit at this borrowing rate can be estimated as a benchmark:Market interest on operating liabilities= operating liabilities×market borrowing ratewhere the market borrowing rate, given that most credit is short term, can be approximated by the after-tax short-term borrowing rate. This implicit cost is benchmark, for it is the cost that makes suppliers indifferent in supplying cred suppliers are fully compensated if they charge implicit interest at the cost borrowing to supply the credit. Or, alternatively, the ?rm buying the goods or services is indifferent between trade credit and ?nancing purchases at the borrowin rate.To analyze the effect of operating liability leverage on operating pro?tability, we de?ne:Return on operating assets (ROOA) =(operating income＋market interest on operating liabilities)÷operating assets(11)The numerator of ROOA adjusts operating income for the full implicit cost of trad credit. If suppliers fully charge the implicit cost of credit, ROOA is the return of operating assets that would be earned had the ?rm no operating liability leverage. suppliers do not fully charge for the credit, ROOA measures the return fro operations that includes the favorable implicit credit terms from suppliers.Similar to the leveraging equation (8) for ROCE, RNOA can be expressed as:RNOA = ROOA＋[ OLLEV ×(ROOA－market borrowing rate )] (12) where the borrowing rate is the after-tax short-term interest rate.Given ROOA, the effect of leverage on pro?tability is determined by the level of operating liability leverage and the spread between ROOA and the short-term after-tax interest rate. Like ?nancing leverage, the effect can be favorable or unfavorable: Firms can reduce their operating pro?tability through operating liability leverage if their ROOA is less than the market borrowing rate. However, ROOA will also be affected if the implicit borrowing cost on operating liabilities is different from the market borrowing rate.1.4 Total Leverage and its Effect on Shareholder ProtabilityOperating liabilities and net ?nancing debt combine into a total leverage measure:Total leverage (TLEV) = ( net financing debt＋operating liabilities)÷common equityThe borrowing rate for total liabilities is:Total borrowing rate = (net financing expense＋market interest on operating liabilities) ÷net financing debt＋operating liabilitiesROCE equals the weighted average of ROOA and the total borrowing rate, where the weights are proportional to the amount of total operating assets and the sum of net ?nancing debt and operating liabilities (with a negative sign), respectively. So, similar to the leveraging equations (8) and (12):ROCE = ROOA ＋[TLEV×(ROOA －total borrowing rate)] (13) In summary, ?nancial statement analysis of operating and ?nancing activities yields three leveraging equations, (8), (12), and (13). These equations are based on ?xed accounting relations and are therefore deterministic: They must hold for a given ?rm at a given point in time. The only requirement in identifying the sources of pro?tability appropriately is a clean separation between operating and ?nancing components in the ?nancial statements.2. Leverage, Equity Value and Price-to-Book RatiosThe leverage effects above are described as effects on shareholder pro?tability. Our interest is not only in the effects on shareholder pro?tability, ROCE, but also in the effects on shareholder value, which is tied to ROCE in a straightforward way by the residual income valuation model. As a restatement of the dividend discount model, the residual income model expresses the value of equity at date 0 (P0) as:B is the book value of common shareholders’ equity, X is comprehensive income to common shareholders, and r is the required return for equity investment. The price premium over book value is determined by forecasting residual income, Xt – rBt-1. Residual income is determined in part by income relative to book value, that is, by the forecasted ROCE. Accordingly, leverage effects on forecasted ROCE (net of effects on the required equity return) affect equity value relative to book value: The price paid for the book value depends on the expected pro?tability of the book value, and leverage affects pro?tability.So our empirical analysis investigates the effect of leverage on both pro?tability and price-to-book ratios. Or, stated differently, ?nancing and operating liabilities are distinguishable components of book value, so the question is whether the pricing of book values depends on the composition of book values. If this is the case, the different components of book value must imply different pro?tability. Indeed, the two analyses (of pro?tability and price-to-book ratios) are complementary.Financing liabilities are contractual obligations for repayment of funds loaned. Operatingliabilities include contractual obligations (such as accounts payable), but also include accrual liabilities (such as deferred revenues and accrued expenses). Accrual liabilities may be based on contractual terms, but typically involve estimates. We consider the real effects of contracting and the effects of accounting estimates in turn. Appendix A provides some examples of contractual and estimated liabilities and their effect on pro?tability and value.2.1 Effects of Contractual liabilitiesThe ex post effects of ?nancing and operating liabilities on pro?tability are clear from leveraging equations (8), (12) and (13). These expressions always hold ex post, so there is no issue regarding ex post effects. But valuation concerns ex ante effects. The extensive research on the effects of ?nancial leverage takes, as its point of departure, the Modigliani and Miller (M&M) (1958) ?nancing irrelevance proposition: With perfect capital markets and no taxes or information asymmetry, debt ?nancing has no effect on value. In terms of the residual income valuation model, an increase in ?nancial leverage due to a substitution of debt for equity may increase expected ROCE according to expression (8), but that increase is offset in the valuation (14) by the reduction in the book value of equity that earns the excess pro?tability and the increase in the required equity return, leaving total value (i.e., the value of equity and debt) unaffected. The required equity return increases because of increased ?nancing risk: Leverage may be expected to be favorable but, the higher the leverage, the greater the loss to shareholders should the leverage turn unfavorable ex post, with RNOA less than the borrowing rate.In the face of the M&M proposition, research on the value effects of ?nancial leverage has proceeded to relax the conditions for the proposition to hold. Modigliani and Miller (1963) hypothesized that the tax bene?ts of debt increase after-tax returns to equity and so increase equity value. Recent empirical evidence provides support for the hypothesis (e.g., Kemsley and Nissim, 2002), although the issue remains controversial. In any case, since the implicit cost of operating liabilities, like interest on ?nancing debt, is tax deductible, the composition of leverage should have no tax implications.Debt has been depicted in many studies as affecting value by reducing transaction and contracting costs. While debt increases expected bankruptcy costs and introduces agency costs between shareholders and debtholders, it reduces the costs that shareholders must bear in monitoring management, and may have lower issuing costs relative to equity. One might expect these considerations to apply to operating debt as well as ?nancing debt, with the effects differing only by degree. Indeed papers have explained the use of trade debt rather than ?nancing debt by transaction costs (Ferris, 1981), differential access of suppliers and buyers to ?nancing (Schwartz,1974), and informational advantages and comparative costs of monitoring (Smith, 1987; Mian and Smith, 1992; Biais and Gollier, 1997). Petersen and Rajan (1997) provide some tests of these explanations.In addition to tax, transaction costs and agency costs explanations for leverage, research has also conjectured an informational role. Ross (1977) and Leland and Pyle (1977) characterized ?nancing choice as a signal of pro?tability and value, and subsequent papers (for example, Myers and Majluf, 1984) have carried the idea further. Other studies have ascribed an informational role also for operating liabilities. Biais and Gollier (1997) and Petersen and Rajan (1997), for example, see suppliers as having more information about ?rms than banks and the bond market, so more operating debt might indicate higher value. Alternatively, high trade payables might indicate dif?culties in paying suppliers and declining fortunes.Additional insights come from further relaxing the perfect frictionless capital markets assumptions underlying the original M&M ?nancing irrelevance proposition. When it comes tooperations, the product and input markets in which ?rms trade are typically less competitive than capital markets. Indeed, ?rms are viewed as adding value primarily in operations rather than in ?nancing activities because of less than purely competitive product and input markets. So, whereas it is difficult to ‘‘make money off the debtholders,’’ ?rms can be seen as ‘‘making money off the trade creditors.’’ In operations, ?rms can exert monopsony power, extracting value from suppliers and employees. Suppliers may provide cheap implicit ?nancing in exchange for information about products and markets in which the ?rm operates. They may also bene?t from ef?ciencies in the ?rm’s supply and distribution chain, and may grant credit to capture future business.2.2 Effects of Accrual Accounting EstimatesAccrual liabilities may be based on contractual terms, but typically involve estimates. Pension liabilities, for example, are based on employment contracts but involve actuarial estimates. Deferred revenues may involve obligations to service customers, but also involve estimates that allocate revenues to periods. While contractual liabilities are typically carried on the balance sheet as an unbiased indication of the cash to be paid, accrual accounting estimates are not necessarily unbiased. Conservative accounting, for example, might overstate pension liabilities or defer more revenue than required by contracts with customers.Such biases presumably do not affect value, but they affect accounting rates of return and the pricing of the liabilities relative to their carrying value (the price-to-book ratio). The effect of accounting estimates on operating liability leverage is clear: Higher carrying values for operating liabilities result in higher leverage for a given level of operating assets. But the effect on pro?tability is also clear from leveraging equation (12): While conservative accounting for operating assets increases the ROOA, as modeled in Feltham and Ohlson (1995) and Zhang (2000), higher book values of operating liabilities lever up RNOA over ROOA. Indeed, conservative accounting for operating liabilities amounts to leverage of book rates of return. By leveraging equation (13), that leverage effect ?ows through to shareholder pro?tability, ROCE.And higher anticipated ROCE implies a higher price-to-book ratio.The potential bias in estimated operating liabilities has opposite effects on current and future pro?tability. For example, if a ?rm books higher deferred revenues, accrued expenses or other operating liabilities, and so increases its operating liability leverage, it reduces its current pro?tability: Current revenues must be lower or expenses higher. And, if a ?rm reports lower operating assets (by a write down of receivables, inventories or other assets, for example), and so increases operating liability leverage, it also reduces current pro?tability: Current expenses must be higher. But this application of accrual accounting affects future operating income: All else constant, lower current income implies higher future income. Moreover, higher operating liabilities and lower operating assets amount to lower book value of equity. The lower book value is the base for the rate of return for the higher future income. So the analysis of operating liabilities potentially identi?es part of the accrual reversal phenomenon documented by Sloan (1996) and interprets it as affecting leverage, forecasts of pro?tability, and price-to-book ratios. 3. Empirical AnalysisThe analysis covers all ?rm-year observations on the combined COMPUSTAT (Industry and Research) ?les for any of the 39 years from 1963 to 2001 that satisfy the following requirements: (1) the company was listed on the NYSE or AMEX; (2) the company was not a ?nancial institution (SIC codes 6000–6999), thereby omitting ?rms where most ?nancial assets and liabilities are used in operations; (3) the book value of common equity is at least $10 million in2001 dollars; and (4) the averages of the beginning and ending balance of operating assets, net operating assets and common equity are positive (as balance sheet variables are measured in the analysis using annual averages). These criteria resulted in a sample of 63,527 ?rm-year observations.Appendix B describes how variables used in the analysis are measured. One measurement issue that deserves discussion is the estimation of the borrowing cost for operating liabilities. As most operating liabilities are short term, we approximate the borrowing rate by the after-tax risk-free one-year interest rate. This measure may understate the borrowing cost if the risk associated with operating liabilities is not trivial. The effect of such measurement error is to induce a negative correlation between ROOA and OLLEV. As we show below, however, even with this potential negative bias we document a strong positive relation between OLLEV and ROOA.4. ConclusionTo ?nance operations, ?rms borrow in the ?nancial markets, creating ?nancing leverage. In running their operations, ?rms also borrow, but from customers, employees and suppliers, creating operating liability leverage. Because they involve trading in different types of markets, the two types of leverage may have different value implications. In particular, operating liabilities may re?ect contractual terms that add value in different ways than ?nancing liabilities, and so they may be priced differently. Operating liabilities also involve accrual accounting estimates that may further affect their pricing. This study has investigated the implications of the two types of leverage for pro?tability and equity value.The paper has laid out explicit leveraging equations that show how shareholder pro?tability is related to ?nancing leverage and operating liability leverage. For operating liability leverage, the leveraging equation incorporates both real contractual effects and accounting effects. As price-to-book ratios are based on expected pro?tability, this analysis also explains how price-to-book ratios are affected by the two types of leverage. The empirical analysis in the paper demonstrates that operating and ?nancing liabilities imply different pro?tability and are priced differently in the stock market.Further analysis shows that operating liability leverage not only explains differences in pro?tability in the cross-section but also informs on changes in future pro?tability from current pro?tability. Operating liability leverage and changes in operating liability leverage are indicators of the quality of current reported pro?tability as a predictor of future pro?tability.Our analysis distinguishes contractual operating liabilities from estimated liabilities, but further research might examine operating liabilities in more detail, focusing on line items such as accrued expenses and deferred revenues. Further research might also investigate the pricing of operating liabilities under differing circumstanc es; for example, where ?rms have ‘‘market power’’ over their suppliers.会计研究综述，2003,16(8):531-560财务报表分析的杠杆左右以及如何体现盈利性和值比率摘要本文提供了区分金融活动和业务运营中杠杆作用的财务报表分析。

These statements are called common measurements or components percentage or 100 percent statements. Since each statement is representated as a %ofthe total of 100 which in variably serves as the baseIn this manner the announcements arranged to draw out the proportion of every benefit of risk to the aggregate of the monetary record and the proportion of every thing of cost or incomes to net deals known as the basic size articulationsPattern investigation Even examination of money related explanations can likewise be completed by figuring pattern rates.

It ought to be seen that processing the proportion does not include data in the figures of benefit or deals. What the proportions do is that they uncover the relationship in a more important manner in order to empower us to reach inferences from th As indicated by look into by the Yating yang and 11. W.

Since Ratio Analysis depends on bookkeeping data, its adequacy is restricted by the bends which emerge in budgetary explanations because of such things as Historical Cost Accounting and swelling. Thusly, Ratio Analysis should just be utilized as an initial phase in money related examination, to get a snappy sign of an association's execution and to distinguish territories which should be explored further.中文译文:企业或机构财务报表分析的必要性摘要财务报表分析在制定管理决策框架方面起着主导作用,其方法是通过对财务报表进行分析和解释。

Enterprise use of this mode of operation to achieve the capital cost of the external expansion of production and capital concentration to obtain synergies, enhancing competitiveness, spread business plays a very important role. M & A process involves a lot of financial problems and solve financial problems is the key to successful mergers and acquisitions. Therefore, it appears in merger analysis of the financial problems to improve the efficiency of M & Finance has an important practical significance.We need to use financial ratios in analyzing financial statements.——The analysis of comparative financial statements cannot be made really effective unless it takes the form of a study of relationships between items in the statements. It is of little value, for example, to know that, on a given date, the Smith Company has a cash balance of $1oooo. But suppose we know that this balance is only -IV per cent of all current liabilities whereas a year ago cash was 25 per cent of all current liabilities. Since the bankers for the company usually require a cash balance against bank lines, used or unused, of 20 per cent, we can see at once that the firm's cash condition isexhibiting a questionable tendency.Saving transaction costs. M & A market is essentially an alternative organization to realize the internalization of external transactions, as appropriate under the terms of trade, business organizations, the cost may be lower than in the market for the same transaction costs, thereby reducing production and operation the transaction costs.To reduce agency costs. When the business separation of ownership and management, because the interests of corporate management and business owners which resulted in inconsistencies in agency costs, including all contract costs with the agent, the agent monitoring and control costs. Through acquisitions or agency competition, the incumbent managers of target companies will be replaced, which can effectively reduce the agency costs.Lower financing costs. Through mergers and acquisitions, can expand the size of the business, resulting in a common security role. In general, large companies easier access to capital markets, large quantities they can issue shares or bonds. As the issue of quantity, relatively speaking, stocks or bonds cost will be reduced to enable enterprises to lower capital cost, refinancing.To obtain tax benefits. M & A business process can make use of deferred tax in terms of a reasonable tax avoidance, but the current loss of business as a profit potential acquisition target, especially when the acquiring company is highly profitable, can give full play to complementary acquisitions both tax advantage. Since dividend income, interest income, operating income and capital gains tax rate difference between the large mergers and acquisitions take appropriate ways to achieve a reasonable financial deal with the effect of tax avoidance.To increase business value. M & A movement through effective control of profitable enterprises and increase business value. The desire to control access to the right of the main business by trading access to the other rights owned by the control subjects to re-distribution of social resources. Effective control over enterprises in the operation of the market conditions, for most over who are in competition for control of its motives is to seek the company's market value and the effective management of the condition should be the difference between the market value.The company liquidity and solvency position is to maintain the basic conditions for good financial flexibility. Company's financial flexibility is important, it mainly refers to the enterprises to maintain a good liquidity for timely repayment of debt. Good cash flow performance in a good income-generating capacity and funding from the capital market capacity, but also the company's overall Profitability, Profitability is the size of which can be company's overall business conditions and competition prospects come to embody. Specific assessment, the fixed costs to predict the total expenditures and cash flow trends, the fixed costs and discretionary spending is divided into some parts of constraints, in order to accurately estimate the company's working capital demand in the near future, on the accounts receivable turnover and inventory turnover rate of the data to be reviewed, should include other factors that affect financial flexibility, such as short-term corporate debt levels, capital structure, the higher the interest rate of Zhaiwu relatively specific weight.M & M price is the cost of an important part of the target company's value is determined based on M & A prices, so enterprises in M & Juece O'clock on targeted business Jinxing scientific, objective value of Ping Gu, carefully Xuanze acquisition Duixiang to Shi Zai market competition itself tide in an invincible position. Measure of the value of the target company, generally adjusted book value method, market value of comparative law, price-earnings ratio method, discounted cash flow method, income approach and other methods.We may make comparisons between items in the comparative financial statements as follows:1. Between items in the comparative balance sheeta) Between items in the balance sheet for one date, e.g., cash may be compared with current liabilitiesb) Between an item in the balance sheet for one date and the same item in the balance sheet for another date, e.g., cash today may be compared with cash a year agoc) Of ratios, or mathematical proportions, between two items in the balance sheet for one date and a like ratio in the balance sheet for another date, e.g., the ratio of cash to current liabilities today may be compared with a like ratio a year ago and the trendof cash condition noted2. Between items in the comparative statement of income and expensea) Between items in the statement for a given periodb) Between one item in this period's statement and the same item in last period's statementc) Of ratios between items in this period's statement and similar ratios in last period's statement3. Between items in the comparative balance sheet and items in the comparative statement of income and expensea) Between items in these statements for a given period, e.g., net profit for this year may be calculated as a percentage of net worth for this yearb) Of ratios between items in the two statements for a period of years, e.g., the ratio of net profit to net worth this year may-be compared with like ratios for last year, and for the years preceding thatOur comparative analysis will gain in significance if we take the foregoing comparisons or ratios and; in turn, compare them with:1.Such data as are absent from the comparative statements but are of importance in judging a concern's financial history and condition, for example, the stage of the business cycle2.Similar ratios derived from analysis of the comparative statements of competing concerns or of concerns in similar lines of business What financial ratios are used in analyzing financial statements.- Comparative analysis of comparative financial statements may be expressed by mathematical ratios between the items compared, for example, a concern's cash position may be tested by dividing the item of cash by the total of current liability items and using the quotient to express the result of the test. Each ratio may be expressed in two ways, for example, the ratio of sales to fixed assets may be expressed as the ratio of fixed assets to sales. We shall express each ratio in such a way that increases from period to period will be favorable and decreases unfavorable to financial condition.We shall use the following financial ratios in analyzing comparative financialstatements:I. Working-capital ratios1. The ratio of current assets to current liabilities2. The ratio of cash to total current liabilities3. The ratio of cash, salable securities, notes and accounts receivable to total current liabilities4. The ratio of sales to receivables, i.e., the turnover of receivables5. The ratio of cost of goods sold to merchandise inventory, i.e., the turnover of inventory6. The ratio of accounts receivable to notes receivable7. The ratio of receivables to inventory8. The ratio of net working capital to inventory9. The ratio of notes payable to accounts payable10. The ratio of inventory to accounts payableII. Fixed and intangible capital ratios1. The ratio of sales to fixed assets, i.e., the turnover of fixed capital2. The ratio of sales to intangible assets, i.e., the turnover of intangibles3. The ratio of annual depreciation and obsolescence charges to the assets against which depreciation is written off4. The ratio of net worth to fixed assetsIII. Capitalization ratios1. The ratio of net worth to debt.2. The ratio of capital stock to total capitalization .3. The ratio of fixed assets to funded debtIV. Income and expense ratios1. The ratio of net operating profit to sales2. The ratio of net operating profit to total capital3. The ratio of sales to operating costs and expenses4. The ratio of net profit to sales5. The ratio of net profit to net worth6. The ratio of sales to financial expenses7. The ratio of borrowed capital to capital costs8. The ratio of income on investments to investments9. The ratio of non-operating income to net operating profit10. The ratio of net operating profit to non-operating expense11. The ratio of net profit to capital stock12. The ratio of net profit reinvested to total net profit available for dividends on common stock13. The ratio of profit available for interest to interest expensesThis classification of financial ratios is permanent not exhaustive. -Other ratios may be used for purposes later indicated. Furthermore, some of the ratios reflect the efficiency with which a business has used its capital while others reflect efficiency in financing capital needs. The ratios of sales to receivables, inventory, fixed and intangible capital; the ratios of net operating profit to total capital and to sales; and the ratios of sales to operating costs and expenses reflect efficiency in the use of capital.' Most of the other ratios reflect financial efficiency.Are the statements adequate in general?-Before attempting comparative analysis of given financial statements we wish to be sure that the statements are reasonably adequate for the purpose. They should, of course, be as complete as possible. They should also be of recent date. If not, their use must be limited to the period which they cover. Conclusions concerning 1923 conditions cannot safely be based upon 1921 statements.Does the comparative balance sheet reflect a seasonable situation? If so, it is important to know financial conditions at both the high and low points of the season. We must avoid unduly favorable judgment of the business at the low point when assets are very liquid and debt is low, and unduly unfavorable judgment at the high point when assets are less liquid and debt likely to be relatively high.Does the balance sheet for any date reflect the estimated financial condition after the sale of a proposed new issue of securities? If so, in order to ascertain the actual financial condition at that date it is necessary to subtract the amount of thesecurity issue from net worth, if the. issue is of stock, or from liabilities, if bonds are to be sold. A like amount must also be subtracted from assets or liabilities depending upon how the estimated proceeds of the issue are reflected in the statement.Are the statements audited or unaudited? It is often said that audited statements, that is, complete audits rather than statements "rubber stamped" by certified public accountants, are desirable when they can be obtained. This is true, but the statement analyst should be certain that the given auditing film's reputation is beyond reproach.Is working-capital situation favorable ?-If the comparative statements to be analyzed are reasonably adequate for the purpose, the next step is to analyze the concern's working-capital trend and position. We may begin by ascertaining the ratio of current assets to current liabilities. This ratio affords-a test of the concern's probable ability to pay current obligations without impairing its net working capital. It is, in part, a measure of ability to borrow additional working capital or to renew short-term loans without difficulty. The larger the excess of current assets over current liabilities the smaller the risk of loss to short-term creditors and the better the credit of the business, other things being equal. A ratio of two dollars of current assets to one dollar of current liabilities is the "rule-of-thumb" ratio generally considered satisfactory, assuming all current assets are conservatively valued and all current liabilities revealed.The rule-of-thumb current ratio is not a satisfactory test of working-capital position and trend. A current ratio of less than two dollars for one dollar may be adequate, or a current ratio of more than two dollars for one dollar may be inadequate. It depends, for one thing, upon the liquidity of the current assets.The liquidity of current assets varies with cash position.-The larger the proportion of current assets in the form of cash the more liquid are the current assets as a whole. Generally speaking, cash should equal at least 20 per cent of total current liabilities (divide cash by total current liabilities). Bankers typically require a concern to maintain bank balances equal to 20 per cent of credit lines whether used or unused. Open-credit lines are not shown on the balance sheet, hence the total of current liabilities (instead of notes payable to banks) is used in testing cash position. Like thetwo-for-one current ratio, the 20 per cent cash ratio is more or less a rule-of-thumb standard.The cash balance that will be satisfactory depends upon terms of sale, terms of purchase, and upon inventory turnover. A firm selling goods for cash will find cash inflow more nearly meeting cash outflow than will a firm selling goods on credit. A business which pays cash for all purchases will need more ready money than one which buys on long terms of credit. The more rapidly the inventory is sold the more nearly will cash inflow equal cash outflow, other things equal.Needs for cash balances will be affected by the stage of the business cycle. Heavy cash balances help to sustain bank credit and pay expenses when a period of liquidation and depression depletes working capital and brings a slump in sales. The greater the effects of changes in the cycle upon a given concern the more thought the financial executive will need to give to the size of his cash balances.Differences in financial policies between different concerns will affect the size of cash balances carried. One concern may deem it good policy to carry as many open-bank lines as it can get, while another may carry only enough lines to meet reasonably certain needs for loans. The cash balance of the first firm is likely to be much larger than that of the second firm.The liquidity of current assets varies with ability to meet "acid test."- Liquidity of current assets varies with the ratio of cash, salable securities, notes and accounts receivable (less adequate reserves for bad debts), to total current liabilities (divide the total of the first four items by total current liabilities). This is the so-called "acid test" of the liquidity of current condition. A ratio of I: I is considered satisfactory since current liabilities can readily be paid and creditors risk nothing on the uncertain values of merchandise inventory. A less than 1:1 ratio may be adequate if receivables are quickly collected and if inventory is readily and quickly sold, that is, if its turnover is rapid andif the risks of changes in price are small.The liquidity of current assets varies with liquidity of receivables. This may be ascertained by dividing annual sales by average receivables or by receivables at the close of the year unless at that date receivables do not represent the normal amount ofcredit extended to customers. Terms of sale must be considered in judging the turnover of receivables. For example, if sales for the year are $1,200,000 and average receivables amount to $100,000, the turnover of receivables is $1,200,000/$100,000=12. Now, if credit terms to customers are net in thirty days we can see that receivables are paid promptly. Consideration should also be given market conditions and the stage of the business cycle. Terms of credit are usually longer in farming sections than in industrial centers. Collections are good in prosperous times but slow in periods of crisis and liquidation.Trends in the liquidity of receivables will also be reflected in the ratio of accounts receivable to notes receivable, in cases where goods are typically sold on open account. A decline in this ratio may indicate a lowering of credit standards since notes receivable are usually given to close overdue open accounts. If possible, a schedule of receivables should be obtained showing those not due, due, and past due thirty, sixty, and ninety days. Such a, schedule is of value in showing the efficiency of credits and collections and in explaining the trend in turnover of receivables. The more rapid the turnover of receivables the smaller the risk of loss from bad debts; the greater the savings of interest on the capital invested in receivables, and the higher the profit on total capital, other things being equal.中文译文：企业并购财务报表分析企业并购已成为企业资本运营的一种主要形式。

毕业设计（论文）外文文献翻译文献、资料中文题目：财务报表分析与运用文献、资料英文题目：The analysis and use of financial statement 文献、资料来源：文献、资料发表（出版）日期：院（部）：专业：班级：姓名：学号：指导教师：翻译日期： 2017.02.14The analysis and use of financial statementChapter 1 FRAMEWORK FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSISNEED FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSISThe United Sates has the most complex financial reporting system in the word. .Detailed ac-counting principles are augmented by extensive disclosure requirements .The financial state-ments of large multinationals add up to dozens of pages, and many of these firms voluntarily publish additional “fact books”for dissemination to financial analysis and other interested users.Financial reporting in other major developed countries and many emerging markets has also evolved substantially in recent years .with an increasing emphasis on providing information useful to both domestic and foreign creditors and equity investors. International Accounting Standards have become a credible rival to U.S. standards.In an ideal word, the user of financial statements could focus only on the bottom lines financial reporting: net income and stockholders’ equity. If financial statements were comparable among companies (regardless of country),consistent over time , and always fully reflecting the economic position of firm , financial statement analysis would be simple , and this text a very short one.The financial reporting system is not perfect. Economic events and accounting entries do not correspond precisely; they diverge across the dimensions of timing, recognition, and measurement. Financial analysis and investment decisions are further complicated by variations in accounting treatment among countries in each of these dimensions.Economic events and accounting recognition of those events frequently take place at different times. One example of phenomenon is the recognition of capital gains and losses only upon sale in most cases. Appreciation of a real estate investment, which took place over a period of many years, for example, receives income statement recognition only in the period management chooses for its disposal.Similarly, long-lived assets are written down. Most of time. In the fiscal period of management’s choice. The period of recognition may be neither the period in which the impairment took place nor the period of sale or disposal. Accounting for discontinued operations. In the same manner. Results in recognition of loss in a period different from when the loss occurred or the disposal is consummated.In addition, many economic events do not receive accounting recognition at all. Most contracts, for example, are not reflected in financial statements when entered into, despite significant effects on financial condition and operating and financial risk .Some contracts, such asleases and hedging activities, are recognized in the financial statements by some companies, but disclosed only in footnotes by others. Disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities are in place in many jurisdictions, but recognition and measurement is only recently required in the United Stated.Further, generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States and elsewhere permit economic events that do receive accounting recognition to be recognized in different ways by different financial statement prepares. Inventory and depreciation of fixed assets are only two of the significant areas where comparability may be lacking.Financial reports often contain supplementary data that, although not included in the statements themselves, help the financial statement user to interpret the statements or adjust measures of corporate performance (such as financial ratios) to make them more comparable, consistent over time, and more representative of economic reality. When making adjustments to financial statements, we will seek to discern substance from form and exploit the information contained in footnotes and supplementary schedules of data in the annual report and SEC filings. The analytic treatment of “off-balance-sheet” financing activities is a good example of this process. We also illustrate the use of reconciliations to U.S. GAAP in foreign registrants’Form 20-F filings.Finally, information from outside the financial reporting process can be used to make financial data more useful. Estimating the effects of changing prices on corporate performance, for example, may require the use of price data from outside sources.FOCUS ON INVESTMENT DECISIONSThis book is concerned with the concepts and techniques of financial analysis employed by users of financial statements who are external to the company. Principal emphasis is on the financial statements of companies whose securities are publicly traded. The techniques described are generally applicable to the analysis of financial statements prepared according to U.S. GAAP. However, we will also discuss the pronouncements of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and standard setters in other countries, compare them to U.S. GAAP, and analyze financial statements prepared in accordance with these other reporting standards.Classes of UsersExternal users of financial information encompass a wide range of interests but can be classified into three general groups:Credit and equity investorsGovernment (executive and legislative branches), regulatory bodies, and tax authoritiesThe general public and special interest groups, labor unions , and consumer groupsEach of these user groups has a particular objective in financial statement analysis, but, as the FASB stated, the primary user are equity investors and creditors. However, the information supplied to investors and creditors is likely to be generally useful to other user groups as well. Hence, financial accounting standards are geared to the purposes and perceptions of investors and creditors. That is the group for whom the analytical techniques in this book are intended.The underlying objective of financial analysis is the comparative measurement of risk and return to make investment or credit decisions. These decisions require estimates of the future, be it a mouth, a year, or a decade. General-purpose financial statements, which describe the past, provide one basis for projecting future earnings and cash flows. Many of the techniques used in this analytical process are broadly applicable to all types of decisions, but there are also specialized techniques concerned with specific investment interests or, in other words, risks and returns specific to one class of investors or securities.The equity investor is primarily interested in the long-term power of the company, its ability to grow, and, ultimately, its ability to pay dividends and increase in value. Since the equity investor bears the residual risk in an enterprise, the largest and most volatile risk, the require analysis is the most comprehensive of any user and encompasses techniques employed by all other external user.Creditors need somewhat different analytical approaches. Short-term creditors, such as banks and trade creditors, place more emphasis on the immediate liquidity of the business because they seek an early payback of their investment. Long-term earning power of the company investors in bonds, such as insurance companies and pension funds, are primarily concerned with the long-term asset position and earning power of the company. They seek assurance of the payment of interest and the capability of retiring or refunding the obligation at maturity. Credit risks are usually smaller than equity risks and may be more easily quantifiable.More subordinated or junior creditors, especially owners of “high-yield” debt, however, bear risk similar to those of equity investors and may find analytic techniques normally applied to equity investments more relevant than those employed by creditors.Financial Information and Capital MarketsThe usefulness of accounting information in the decision-making processes of investors and creditors has been the subject of much academic research over the last 35 years. That research has examined the interrelationship of accounting information and reporting standards in financial markets in great detail. At times, the research conclusions are highly critical of the accounting standard-setting process and of the utility of financial analysis. This criticism is based on researchperformed in a capital market setting. These findings do not negate the usefulness of financial analysis of individual securities that may be mispriced or of decisions made outside a capital market setting.PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTSThe Balance SheetThe balance sheet (statement of financial position) reports major classes and amounts of assets (resources owned or controlled by the firm), liabilities (external claims on those assets), and stockholder’ equity (owners’ capital contributions and other internally generated sources of capital) and their interrelationships at specific points in time.Assets reported on the balance sheet are either purchased buy the firm or generated through operations: they are, directly or indirectly, finances by the creditors and stockholders of the firm. The fundamental accounting relationship provides the basis for recording all transactions in financial reporting and is expressed as the balance sheet equation:Assets (A) = Liabilities (L) + Stockholders’ Equity (E)In the United States firm issue balance sheets at the end of each quarter and the end of the fiscal. Annual or semiannual reporting in the norm in most other countries.Elements of the Balance SheetSFAC 6 discusses the elements of financial statements. Although this statement also deals with nonprofit organizations, we restrict our comments to business enterprises.Assets are defined in SFAC 6 asProbable future economic benefits obtained or controlled by a particular entity as a result of past transactions or events.This definition seems to be noncontroversial. Its weakness is its lack of reference to risk. It seems to us that an enterprise that retains the risk of ownership still “owns” the asset. This issue is important, for example, as it relates to the sale of assets (such as accounts receivable, loans, and mortgages; see chapter 11) when the seller retains some risk of loss.Liabilities are defined, similarly asProbable future sacrifices of economic benefits arising from present obligations of particular entity to transfer assets or provide services to other entities in the future as a result of pa transactions or events.Again, the definition reads well. Yet it permits the nonrecognition of contractual obligation such as operating leases (see chapter11). The interpretation of “present obligation” and “result of past transactions or events”is key to accounting for all such contracts; some believe that only payments immediately due as a consequence of completed transactions create liabilities. Othersbelieve that all long-term contacts should be recognized as long-term liabilities. Another important problem area is the derecognition of liabilities that have been prefunded but remain outstanding.As required by the fundamental accounting equation. Stockholder’ equity is thereforeThe residual interest in the net assets of an entity that remains after deducting its liabilities.In practice, some financial instruments have characteristics of both liabilities and equities, making them difficult to categorize. Convertible debt and redeemable preferreds are two common examples examined in chapter 10. That chapter also discusses the FASB Exposure Draft (ED) on recognition and measurement of instruments with equity and liability characteristics.The Income StatementThe income statement (statement of earnings) reports on the performance of the firm, the result of its operating activities. It explains some but all of the changes in the assets, liabilities, and equity of the firm between two consecutive balance sheet dates. Use of the accrual concept means that income and the balance sheet are interrelated.The preparation of the income statement is governed by the matching principle, which states that performance can be measured only if revenues and related costs are accounted for during the same time period. This requires the recognition of expenses incurred to generate revenues in the same period as the related revenues. For example, the cost of a machine is recognized as an expense (it is depreciated) over its useful life (as it is used in production) rather than as an expense in the period it is purchased.Elements of the Income StatementRevenues are defined in SAFC 6 asInflows … of an entity… from delivering or producing goods, rendering services, or other activities that constitute the entity’s ongoing major or central operationsExpense are defined asOutflows…from delivering or producing goods, rendering services, or carrying out other activities that constitute the entity’s ongoing major or central operations.These definitions explicitly exclude gains (and losses), defined asIncreases (decreases) in equity (net assets) from peripheral or incidental transactions…Gains or losses are, therefore, nonoperating events. Examples would include gains and losses from asset sales, lawsuits, and changes in market values (including currency rates).These definitions are, like the other in SFAC 6, easy to accept as stated. The difficulties come in practice. For example, investment activities may be “central”to a financial institution but “peripheral”to manufacturing company. Similarly, sales of assets such as automobiles may be “incidental”to retailer but “central”to a car rental firm. The write-down of inventories due toobsolescence is more difficult to characterize: is this an operating expense or a loss? To some extent, the distinction between revenue and expense on the one hand and gains and losses on the other is a precursor of the controversies over the characterizations of “recurring versus nonrecurring activities,”“operating versus nonoperating activities,”and “extraordinary items,”. From the analyst point of view, disclosure is more important than classification; analysts prefer to make their own distinctions between operating and nonoper-ating events in many instances. From the point of view of database user, however, the outcome of the debate is important.Even more important is the decision on when to recognize revenues and expenses. The recognition decision can be a major determinant of reported income, especially for technology and other “new economy” enterprises.财务报表分析与运用第一章财务报表分析的框架财务报表分析的重要性美国有着世界上最复杂的财务报告系统，广泛披露的要求扩大了详细的会计原则。
财务报表分析中英文对照外文翻译文献编辑
财务报表分析中英文对照外文翻译文献编辑Introduction:Financial statement analysis is an essential tool used by businesses and investors to evaluate the financial performance and position of a company. It involves the examination of financial statements such as the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement to assess the company's profitability, liquidity, solvency, and efficiency. In this document, we will provide a detailed analysis and translation of foreign literature related to financial statement analysis.1. Importance of Financial Statement Analysis:Financial statement analysis provides valuable insights into a company's financial health and helps stakeholders make informed decisions. It enables investors to assess the profitability and growth potential of a company before making investment decisions. Additionally, it helps creditors evaluate the creditworthiness and repayment capacity of a company before extending credit. Furthermore, financial statement analysis assists management in identifying areas of improvement and making strategic decisions to enhance the company's performance.2. Key Elements of Financial Statement Analysis:a) Balance Sheet Analysis:The balance sheet provides a snapshot of a company's financial position at a specific point in time. It presents the company's assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity. By analyzing the balance sheet, stakeholders can assess the company's liquidity, solvency, and financial stability.b) Income Statement Analysis:The income statement, also known as the profit and loss statement, presents the company's revenues, expenses, and net income over a specific period. It helps stakeholders evaluate the company's profitability, revenue growth, and cost management.c) Cash Flow Statement Analysis:The cash flow statement details the inflows and outflows of cash during a specific period. It provides insights into the company's operating, investing, and financing activities. By analyzing the cash flow statement, stakeholders can assess the company's ability to generate cash, meet its financial obligations, and fund its growth.3. Financial Ratios for Analysis:Financial ratios are essential tools used in financial statement analysis to assess a company's performance and compare it with industry benchmarks. Some commonly used financial ratios include:a) Liquidity Ratios:- Current Ratio: Measures a company's ability to meet short-term obligations.- Quick Ratio: Measures a company's ability to meet short-term obligations without relying on inventory.b) Solvency Ratios:- Debt-to-Equity Ratio: Measures the proportion of debt to equity in a company's capital structure.- Interest Coverage Ratio: Measures a company's ability to meet interest payments on its debt.c) Profitability Ratios:- Gross Profit Margin: Measures the profitability of a company's core operations.- Net Profit Margin: Measures the profitability of a company after all expenses, including taxes.d) Efficiency Ratios:- Inventory Turnover Ratio: Measures how quickly a company sells its inventory.- Accounts Receivable Turnover Ratio: Measures how quickly a company collects cash from its customers.4. Translation of Foreign Literature:In this section, we will provide a translation of key points from foreign literature related to financial statement analysis. The literature emphasizes the importance of accurate financial reporting, the use of financial ratios for analysis, and the interpretation of financial statements to make informed decisions.Conclusion:Financial statement analysis is a crucial process for evaluating a company's financial performance and position. It provides valuable insights into a company's profitability, liquidity, solvency, and efficiency. By analyzing financial statements and using financial ratios, stakeholders can make informed decisions regarding investments, credit extension, and strategic planning. Accurate translation and understanding of foreign literature related to financial statement analysis can further enhance the effectiveness of this process.。

财务报表分析外文文献及翻译LNTU---Acc附录A财务报表分析的杠杆左右以及如何体现盈利性和值比率摘要关键词:财政杠杆;运营债务杠杆;股本回报率;值比率传统观点认为，杠杆效应是从金融活动中产生的:公司通过借贷来增加运营的资金。
杠杆作用的衡量标准是负债总额与股东权益。
然而，一些负债——如银行贷款和发行的债券，是由于资金筹措，其他一些负债——如贸易应付账款，预收收入和退休金负债，是由于在运营过程中与供应商的贸易，与顾客和雇佣者在结算过程中产生的负债。
融资负债通常交易运作良好的资本市场其中的发行者是随行就市的商人。
与此相反，在运营中公司能够实现高增值。
因为业务涉及的是与资本市场相比，不太完善的贸易的输入和输出的市场。
因此，考虑到股票估值，运营负债和融资负债的区别的产生有一些先验的原因。
我们研究在资产负债表上，运营负债中的一美元是否与融资中的一美元等值这个问题。
因为运营负债和融资负债是股票价值的组成部分，这个问题就相当于问是否股价与账面价值比率是否取决于账面净值的组成。
价格与账面比率是由预期回报率的账面价值决定的。
所以，如果部分的账面价值要求不同的溢价，他们必须显示出不同的账面价值的预期回报率。
因此，标准的财务报表分析的能够区分股东从运营中和借贷的融资业务中产生的利润。
因此，资产回报有别于股本回报率，这种差异是由于杠杆作用。
然而，在标准的分析中，经营负债不区别于融资负债。
因此，为了制定用于实证分析的规范，我们的研究结果是用于愿意分析预期公司的收益和账面收益率。
这些预测和估值依赖于负债的组成。
这篇文章结构如下。
第一部分概述并指出了了能够判别两种杠杆作用类型，连接杠杆作用和盈利的财务报表分析第二节将杠杆作用，股票价值和价格与账面比率联系在一起。
第三节中进行实证分析，第四节进行了概述与结论。
1 杠杆作用的财务报表分析以下财务报表分析将融资债务和运营债务对股东权益的影响区别开。
这个分析从实证的详细分析中得出了精确的杠杆效应等式普通股产权资本收益率=综合所得?普通股本(1) 杠杆影响到这个盈利等式的分子和分母。
适当的财务报表分析解析了杠杆作用的影响。
以下分析是通过确定经营和融资活动中的资产负债表和损益表的组成开始分析。
计算每一项活动所获得的利润，然后引入两种类型的杠杆作用来解释运营和融资的盈利以及股东的总体盈利。
1.1 区分运营和融资过程中的盈利普通股权=经营资产，金融负债,经营负债,金融负债(2) 侧重于普通股(以便优先股被视为融资债务)，资产负债表方程可重申如下:经营性资产的区别(如贸易应收款，库存和物业，厂房及设备)和金融资产(存款及可出售证券吸收多余现金)在其他方面。
然而，债务方面，融资负债也区别于经营负债。
不应该把所有负债都当作融资负债来处理，相反，只有从运营中得到的现金，就像银行贷款，短期商业票据和债券属于这种类型。
其他负债，如应付账款，累计费用，预收收入，重组债务和养老金负债，产生于业务。
这种区别并不像当前与长远负债那么简单;养老金负债，例如，通常是长期，短期的借款是一种当前的负债。
等式的重排(2)普通股权=(经营资产,经营负债),(金融资产,金融负债)或者，普通股权=净经营资产,净金融负债(3)这个等式的重排将资产和负债纳入经营和融资活动。
净经营资产等于经营性资产减去经营负债。
因此，一个公司可能在投资清单上的投资，但是投资清单上的投资者可以一定程度上给予信贷，投资清单上的投资就会减少。
企业支付工资，但在多大程度上工资的支付在退休金负债中递延，公司运营净投资就会减少。
净融资债务是融资债务(包括优先股)减去金融资产。
因此，一个公司可能会发行债券，以筹集资金，但也可能购买债券超额现金业务。
事实上一个公司的可能是一个净债权者(更多的金融资产与金融负债比)，而不是净债务者。
损益表可以重新区分来自运营和融资的收入。
综合净收入=运营收入,净额融资费用(4) 运营收入是在生产经营中产生的，净额融资费用是在融资过程中产生的。
金融资产的利息收入是与净财政收入中金融负债(包括优先股股息)的利息支出相抵消的。
如果利息收入大于利息支出，融资活动产生净财政收入，而不是净财务支出。
两种运营收入和净财务支出(或收入)是按照税后计算的。
等式(3)和(4)清楚的计算了税后的运营利润和借贷率净资产回报率=运营收入?运营净资产(5) 可供营运的资产净额=净资产支出?净资产债务。
(6) 净资产回报率显示出收益必须是在净资产投资基础上。
因此，公司可以通过说服供应商在业务过程中给予或延长信贷条件提高其经营盈利，信贷会减少投资股东本来要在业务上的投资。
相应地，从分母排除不计息负债后，净借款利率给出了适当的融资活动贷款利率。
值得注意的是，净资产收益率不同于较常见的资产收益率(资产回报率)，通常被定义为总资产在税后利息前的收入。
资产收益率没有很好的区分运营和融资过程。
不像资产收益率，净资产收益率不包括分母中的金融资产，并且减去了运营负债。
尼萨姆和彭曼(2001)报告中指出纽约证券交易所和美国证券交易公司在1963-1999年间的平均资产收益率只有6.8%，但平均净资产收益率是10.0%，后者更接近人们在商业运营中所期望的回报值。
1.2 财务杠杆作用和其对股东盈利的影响从式(3)到式(6)可以推算出来运用资本报酬率是净资产收益率和净借贷率平均值。
资本收益率=[净经营资产?普通股权×净资产回报率],[净金融负债?普通股权×净借款利率] (7)另外代数方程式可以得出下列杠杆:资本收益率=净资产收益率，[财务杠杆×(净资产收益率,境借款利率)] (8) 从金融活动出发计算财务杠杆如下:财务杠杆=净金融负债?普通股权(9) 财务杠杆作用排除了运营负债，但是包括(作为净反对融资的债务)金融资产。
如果金融资产大于融资负债，财务杠杆作用是负的。
杠杆等式(8)是在财务杠杆为负的情况下使用的(在这种情况下，净借贷率是净金融资产回报率)。
这个分析将股东收益分成运营获益和融资获益。
财务杠杆凌驾于运用资本报酬率和净资产收益率之上，其中杠杆效应由财务杠杆决定，由净资产收益率和借贷率调节。
这个调节可以是正向的，也可以是负向的。
1.3 运营债务杠杆作用和它对运营收益的影响资金债务控制已动用资本回报率，运营债务控制运营中的收益，净资产收益。
所以，一个公司的运营负债与运营资产相关性越大，在运营收入一定的情况下，它的净资产收益越高。
在投资中，运营负债的应用频率就是运营杠杆作用。
利用运营负债来衡量运营中的收益率可能不太准确，但是，有一个分子对运营收入有影响。
供应商提供名义上可免息贷款，但向用户收费但最终对于该信贷提供价格较高的商品和服务。
这是为什么运营负债是运营方面不可分割的一部分而不是融资的一部分。
供应商对信贷的收费很难量化，但是市场借贷率是可以观察到的。
在这个借贷率下，供应商对信贷的隐性收费是可以估计的。
运营负债的市场利率=运营负债×市场借贷率(10) 市场借贷率，因为大多数是短期信贷，可以看作近似的税后短期借贷利率。
这个隐性成本是一个标准，因为它使得供货商在提供信贷时保持中立，供货商如果以借贷率提供信贷，或者公司买卖货物过程中的贸易借贷和资金购买中以借贷率成交的话，供货商将承担全部损失。
为了分析运营债务杠杆对运营盈利的影响，定义如下:经营资产收益率=(经营收入，经营负债的市场利率)?经营资产(11) 经营资产收益率的计算因子是随着所有贸易信贷的隐性成本带来的经营收入变动的。
如果供应商完全承担信用的隐性成本，经营资产收益率是将要获得的经营资产的回报率没有经营负债杠杆。
供应商不完全承担信用，经营资产收益率将权衡包括从供应商取得的有利的隐性信用条款的经营负债。
类似于资本收益率的平衡方程(8)，净经营资产回报率用可表示为:净资产收益率=经营资产收益率，[经营负债杠杆×(经营资产收益率,市场借贷率)](12)借贷率是税后短期利率。
已知经营资产收益率，杠杆对盈利的影响就由运营债务杠杆的水平，来决定，而扩展是在经营资产收益率和短期的税后利率之间。
像财务杠杆，影响可能是有利的或者是不利的:如果它的经营资产收益率小于市场借款利率，企业可以通过经营负债杠杆减少经营收益。
然而，经营资产收益率也可能被经营负债率不同于市场贷款利率的隐性借贷成本影响。
1.4 杠杆作用和对股东收益的影响经营负债和净财务负债结合进总杠杆的办法:总杠杆=(净金融负债，经营负债)?普通股权总负债的借款利率是:总借款利息率=(经财务费用，经营负债的市场利率)?(净金融负债，经营负债) 资本收益率等于加权平均的净资产收益率与贷款利率之和，权重是与所有金融资产、净金融负债之和以及经营负债(负的)的总额分别成比例的。
所以，类似的平衡方程(8)和(12):资本收益率=净资产收益率，[总杠杆×(净资产收益率,总借款利率)] (13) 总之，运营和融资的财务报表分析有三个等式，(8)，(12)和(13)，这些等式是基于固定的结算关系，因此具有确定性:他们必须应用于某个公司的某个时间段。
区分盈利来源的唯一要素是在财务分析上，运营和融资组成上有一个明确的区分。
2 杠杆、股权价值和值比率上述的杠杆效应是被描述为对股东收益率的影响。
我们感兴趣的不仅是对股东收益率、资本收益率的影响，也是对在剩余价值模型方法上的与资本收益率有联系的净资产价值的影响。
作为一个对股利折现模型的补充，剩余收入模型表示在日期0 (P0)的价值:B是普通股的面值，X 是普通股的综合收益，r是投资资本所要求的回报。
溢价取决于预算剩余收入，剩余收入部分取决于与面值有关的相关收入，也就是预算的资本收益率。
因此，对预算的资本收益率的杠杆作用(对股本回报的净影响)影响与面值有关的股权价值:所付的面值价格取决于预期面值收益率，即杠杆影响收益率。
所以我们的实证分析，探讨了杠杆对收益率和之比率的影响。
或者换句话说，金融负债和经营负债是账面价值的不同组成部分，所以问题是是否账面价值的定价取决与账面价值的组成。
在这种情况下，账面价值的不同组成可能导致不同的收益率。
事实上，这两种分析(对收益率和值比率)是互补的。
金融负债是贷款偿还的合同义务。
