Financial Ratios

Rhoda Okunev

Chapter Chapter 5 in Analytics for Retail, 2022, pp 53-63 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract While retail math is useful for merchandise companies, financial ratios are used for all types of corporations. These metrics are useful to further analyze retail businesses, as well as assess all companies’ health and determine where their strengths and weaknesses lie. This chapter examines metrics that assist in inspecting whether the example company has enough cash to cover its expenses in the short term, whether the debt and obligations are too large to cover the expenses, whether the company is turning a profit, and whether the company is efficient in using its resources. The ratios explained in this chapter are illustrated with the financials used for the previous chapter’s fictional company on the Cash Flow and Financial Ratios tabs of Appendix A, which has already been downloaded.
