Net working capital = NWC = Current assets - Current liabilities

Operating cash flow = NOI (1-Tax rate) + Depreciation and amortization expense = Net operating profit after taxes + Depreciation and amortization

expenseFree cash flow = FCF = operating cash flow - Investments = Operating cash flow - (in fixed assets + NOWC)

Economic Value Added =EVA = NOI (1 - Tax rate) - [(Invested capital) X (After-tax cost of capital

as a percent)]

Potential Problems and Limitations of Financial Ratio Analysis

Comparison with industry averages is difficult if the firm operates many different divisionsInflation distorts balance sheetsSeasonal factors can distort ratios“Window dressing” can make ratios look better.Different operating and accounting practices distort comparisonsSometimes hard to tell if a ratio is “good” or “bad”Difficult to tell whether company is, on balance, in strong or weak position
