quantity of net income dollars of company earned for each dollar invested by the owners was 8.5% in 2010 and 10.4% in 2011 reflecting an increase of 1.9%. After analyzing the solvency ratios the following highlights were found: Riordan’s debt of totals assets ratio indicates company’s capability to survive losses without spoiling the interests of creditors. For 2010 was 14% and during 2011 was 29.4%, showing an increase of risk of 15.4% (higher the number, higher the risk that leads the company to be unable to meet its maturing obligations). The company’s time’s interest earned ratio that determines company’s capability to meet interest payments as they come due was 26.9 in 2010 and 8.3 in 2011. A high ratio on times interest earned may lead to investors to think that a company has an undesirable lack of debt or is paying down too much debt with earnings that could be used for other projects (Investopedia, 2013). Subsequently evaluating our performance and efficiently of the collected data, it reveals that Riordan Manufacture has displayed remarkable progress in comparison between years 2011 and 2010. The company liquidity demonstrates that we are capable to
* Return on assets (ROA) – ROA shows how successful a company is in generating profits on the amount of assets they own. Since assets consist of debt and equity, ROA is a measure of how well a company converts investment dollars into profit. The higher the percentage, the more profit a company is generating per dollar of investment. Similar to ROS, this ratio needs to be looked at compared to the industry as different industries have different requirements that can affect ROA. For example, companies in the airline and mining industries need expensive assets to operate so will have lower ROA’s compared to companies in the pharmaceutical or advertising industries.
First of all, return on asset (ROA) is a ratio used to measure how efficient a company generates profit using its assets, which is the invested capital. We noticed that HH’s ROA was increasing from 2006 to 2010. However, HH’s ROA for 2011 dropped dramatically from 18.41%(year
J. Rate of return on common stockholder’s equity: The ratio of return on common stockholder’s equity measures rate of return on the interest of ownership for the common stock owners. Company G’s rate of return ratio diminished (20.20% down to 18.46%). Although percentage decreased does not represents a negative, compared to quartile benchmarks of 12.80% and 16.30%. Rate of Return on Common Stockholder’s Equity
An organization’s current ratio shows how liquid the assets of the agency are by comparison to the short term debts that the agency must pay to continue its operations. This ratio is calculated by taking the assets that can be converted to cash within a year (current assets) and dividing it by the liabilities that are either currently due or will become due within a year (current liabilities). The current ratio, ideally, should be at
The Return on Assets ratio is a basic measure of the efficiency with which TCI allocates and manages its resources (assets) to generate earnings. With a 20% projected increase in sales, for 1996, we calculated TCI’s ROA to be 12.95%, and 12.11% for 1997. Although this isn’t an extremely high ROA, TCI will be allocating its resources very wisely with the expansion of its central warehouse. If MidBank lends them the cash they need to complete this project, their central warehouse will be able to hold more tires for their increasing sales, which will then convert into profit. A true test of TCI’s ROA will be after 1998, when the warehouse is complete, so you can see just how well they can convert an investment into profit.
$10,644,800 / $2,271,400 = 4.69 Times Return on Common Stockholders’ Equity (2002) $647,645 / $1,928,960 = 33.58% Return

Liquidity ratio. The firm’s liquidity shows a downward trend through time. The current ratio is decreasing because the growth in current liabilities outpaces the growth of current assets. The quick ratio is also declining but not as fast as the current ratio. From 1991 to 1992, it only decreased 0.35 units while the current ratio decreased 0.93 units. Looking at the common size balance sheet, we also see that the percentage of inventory is growing from 33% to 48% indicating Mark X could not convert its inventory to cash.
During this period, the Return on Assets increased from 5.7% in 2012 to 34.6% in 2013. This implies the number of cents earned on each dollar of assets increased from 2012 to 2013. This shows that the business has become more profitable. Equally, the Return on Equity also increased from 12.0% in 2012 to 46.5% in 2013. This similarly implies that the company in 2013 was more efficient in generating income from new investment. This, also can be attributed to the sale of the Digital Business Brand which enabled the company appraise its strategic plan.
The financial statements included tend to combine cash and marketable securities into a category labeled “cash and cash equivalents”. If the cash ratio is recalculated using this value instead of simply cash than the ratio improves to 1.10, which shows much stronger liquidity capabilities.
Before beginning an analysis of a company it is necessary to have a complete set of financial statements, preferably for the pas few years so that historical trends can be obtained. Ratios are a way for anyone to get an idea of the financial performance of a company by using the information contained in the financial statements. Ratios are grouped into four basic categories, liquidity, activity, profitability, and financial leverage. This document will use a variety of these ratios to analyze the firm, Sample Company, as of December 31,2000.
With Microsoft Access you can create a query which links tables and their relationships. This allows for better analysis of your data, thus making Microsoft Access a powerful tool in which to analyze critical security data. Not only can you analyze critical security data you can perform simple calculations in queries. For example, you can calculate when an individual’s next personnel security reinvestigation is due. When you type a date into a generated form or table, you can add a column to a query which will automatically calculate the next periodic reinvestigation date. You can later create a form which includes the query’s calculated column. After you type in a date, the adjusted date appears automatically.

The long-term liquidity risk ratio such as LT debt/Equity, D/E, and Total Liabilities to Total Assets all show a decline from year 2005 due to the repayment of debts. The interest coverage ratio also shows a healthy number of 29.45 in comparison to the industrial average of 15.04 indicating a high ability to pay out its interest expense. Such a low relative risk is not surprising due to the nature of its business depending heavily in R&D development and large intangible assets.
