3.1 Financial Statements Analysis
Standardized statements make it easier to compare financial
information, particularly as the company grows.
They are also useful for comparing companies of different
sizes, particularly within the same industry.

3.2 Ratio Analysis
Ratios also allow for better comparison through time
or between companies.
As we look at each ratio, ask yourself:
• How is the ratio computed?
• What is the ratio trying to measure and why?
• What is the unit of measurement?
• What does the value indicate?
• How can we improve the company’s ratio?

Using Financial Statements

compared to something

Using the DuPont Identity
ROE = P M × T AT × E M
• Profit margin is a measure of the firm’s operating efficiency—
how well it controls costs.
• Total asset turnover is a measure of the firm’s asset use
efficiency—how well it manages its assets.
• Equity multiplier is a measure of the firm’s financial leverage.

Calculating the DuPont Identity
ROA = .1011 and EM = 1.38
ROE = .1011 × 1.385 = .1399, or 13.99%
PM = .1569 and TAT = .64
• ROE = .1569 × .64 × 1.38 = .1399, or 13.99%
