Appendix: Basic Finance Formulae

Ratios

Current Ratio

= CA / CL

Quick Ratio

= (CA – Invt’y) / CL

Days Sales Outstanding

= (AR / Credit Sales) × 360

Inventory Turnover

= COGS / Invt’y

Debt to Net Worth

= Total Debt / Total Equity

Debt to Total Assets 

= Total Debt / Total Assets

Times Interest Earned

= EBIT / Interest Expense

Gross Profit Margin

= Gross Profits / Total Sales

Operating Profit Margin

= Operating Profits / Total Sales

Pre-Tax Profit Margin

= Pre-Tax Profits / Total Sales

Net Profit Margin

= Net Profits / Total Sales

Return on Assets

= EBIT / Total Assets

Return on Equity

= Net Income / Total Equity

Sales to Fixed Asset Turnover

= Total Sales / FA

Sales to Total Asset Turnover

= Total Sales / Total Assets

Price/Earnings Ratio 

= Common Share Market Price / Earnings Per Share

Dividend Yield 

= Total Dividends / Common Share Market Price

= Dividends Per Share / Earnings Per Share

Payout Ratio (PR)

= Total Dividends / Net Income

= Dividends Per Share / Earnings Per Share

Retention Rate (RR)

= (Net Income – Total Dividends) / Net Income = 1 – PR

PR + RR

= 100%


COGS = Beginning Inventory + Purchases – Ending Inventory
Depreciation Expense
Straight-Line = (Cost – Salvage Value) / Number of Years
Sum-of-the-Years’ Digits = (Cost – Salvage Value) x (Reverse Years / SOYD)
Double / Declining Balance = (Declining Balance) x (Straight-line Rate)
Tax Shield = (D) (T)

Free Cash Flow

= EBITDA (1 – T) + Depreciation (T) – Necessary Capital Expenditures – (Increase in Net Working Capital)

External Funds Needed

= [(A0/S0) ΔS] – [(AP0/S0) ΔS] – [(M0) (S1) (RR0)]

P0

= (D0) (1 + G) / (R – G) 

D1

= (D0) (1 + G)

R

= (D1) ÷ (R- G)

R

= (FV / PV) 1/n -1

RM

= RF + (RM – RF) βM

RP

= RF + (RP – RF) βP

Market Risk Premium (MRP)

= RM – RF

Portfolio Risk Premium (PRP)

= RP – RF

Weighted Average Portf. Ret.

= RP = (wi) × (Ri)

Variance

= σ2 = Σ(xi – x)2 ˜ (n – 1)

Operating Break-even Profit

= PQ = VQ + F
