accounts receivable) / current liabilities
Common Ratios, cont.
Activity Ratios Accounts receivable turnover = sales/accounts receivable Average collection period = (365 x accounts receivable)/sales Inventory turnover = costs of goods sold/inventory Average inventory holding period = (365 x inventory)/cost
of sales Accounts payable turnover = (cost of goods sold + operating
expenses)/accounts payable Average purchases credit period = (365 x accounts payable) /
(costs of goods sold + operating expenses) Asset turnover = sales/assets
Common Ratios, cont.
Leverage Ratios Debt-to assets ratio = debt/assets Debt-to-equity ratio = debt/equity Times interest earned ratio = EBIT/interest Return on equity = net income/equity Gross ROA = EBIT/assets Net ROA = EBIT(1-t)/assets Earnings per share = net income/number of shares
