Assets=

Assets = liabilities + equity

ROCE (Return on capital employed)=

ROCE = operating profit / (equity funds + non current liabilities)

ROCE = operating profit margin * net asset turnover

Working capital=

Working capital = current assets - current liabilities

Net Asset Turnover=

Net Asset Turnover = turnover / (equity + non-current liabilities)

Operating profit margin=

(aka return on sales)


Operating profit margin = operating profit / turnover

Current ratio=

Current ratio = Current assets / current liabilities


(quote as -> Ans:1)

Interest cover=

Interest cover = operating profit/interest payable

Gearing=

Absorption costing/product costing

Absorption costing is the way a business will be able to obtain the production cost for its output, that is the direct costs plus indirect production overheads

Product costs

costs that are attached to the products and therefore included in the inventory (stock) valuation
(e.g., raw material, labour, and production overhead)

costs that are attached to the products and therefore included in the inventory (stock) valuation
(e.g., raw material, labour, and production overhead)

Direct costs

Direct costs of a cost object are those that are related to a given cost object (product, department, etc.) and that can be traced to it in an economically feasible way

Prime cost

the accumulation of all the direct costs

Indirect costs

related to the particular cost object but cannot be traced to it in an economically feasible way

ROCE ?

The ROCE indicates how successfully the managementare using the funds provided to them fromshareholders and debentures holders.
It can help shareholders and providers of financedecide whether to invest in the company, byindicating how well funds provided in the past havebeen used (in terms of generating profits)

Net asset turnover ?

The net asset turnover figure can be compared over time and against companies in the same industry to assess if management are utilising the resources at there disposal to generate revenue.But a large component of assets are non-current assets which are subject to depreciation and therefore a company with old assets will have a low figure for assets. But when those assets are initially replaced or in an expansion the asset figure will be high.Investment in assets may not translate to increased revenue immediately turnover. There may be a time lag between an investment and an improved net asset turnover ratio.

Gross profit margin ?

Indicates how profitable the core business is.The only expense category in gross profit is cost of sales.

Inventory days=

(Closing Inventory x 365 days) / Cost of sales

Trade receivable days=

(Closing Trade receivables x 365 days) / Revenue

Trade payable days=

(Closing Trade payables x 365days) /Cost of sales

Quick ratio=

(Current Assets – Inventory) / Current Liabilities

Dividend cover

Profit for the year / Dividend

Period costs

non-manufacturing costs such as training, advertising and invoice (debt) collection. Period costs are not attached to the products and are not included in the inventory (stock) valuation.All period costs will be recorded as an expense in the current accounting period.

Product vs Period costs

Demand

The amount of a good or service that a consumer is willing and able to buy at a set price at a given point in time. For most goods if the price of a good goes up there will be less demand

Supply

The amount of a good or service that producers are willing and able to sell at a set point in time. For most suppliers if the price goes up more will be supplied

market equilibrium

The market price will be the point where the demand and supply curve intersect.
If the price is set any higher than Market Price supply will outstrip demand forcing suppliers to cut their price

Market pricing is relevant...

for those goods and services where there are a large number of buyers and sellers, with lots of similar products.

Target Cost=

Target Cost = Market Price − Desired Profit

Variable costs

vary in direct proportion with activity

Fixed costs

remain constant over wide ranges of activity (i.e., do not change in total for a given time period despite wide changes in the related level of total activity or volume).

Contribution

Contribution is sales price – variable costs. The amount that remains after deducting variable cost from sales revenue


Contribution = sales price – variable costs
Contribution – fixed cost = profit

Assets

Assets are resources that are controlled by an entity as a result of a past transaction that are expected to bring economic benefits, (generate profits). Assets can be split into two categories: Non-current assets – are to be owned for longer than 12 months. Land &building Current assets – owned at the reporting date but are to be used by the business to make profits in the next 12 months. Eg Inventory

Liabilities

A liability is an obligation of an entity arising from a past event the settlement of which involves the transfer of resources, (an amount owing by the business). Liabilities can be split into categories: Non- Current – the payment of liability is due after 12 months Bank loan Current – the payment of the liability is due within the next 12 months. Trade payable

Net present value

aggregate of a set of cash inflows and outflows forecast to take place at future dates, discounted to present value. Present value is the discounted value at the present time of cash flow expected to arise in the future
If the net present value is positive the projectshould be accepted.If the net present value is negative the projectshould be rejected.

Payback period

The payback period is the length of time it takesfor an initial investment to be repaid out of the netcash inflows from a project.


(estimating the length of time it will take for cash flows to cover the initial investment outflow)

Accounting rate of return (ARR)

ARR = Average expected return (accounting profit) / Average capital employed/investment *100%

break-even point

break-even point is where total costs = total revenue

Sales Revenue – Variable Costs – Fixed costs = 0


BEP (units) = Fixed costs/contribution

Break-even point is important for a business- need to know how many units you need to sell to be profitable.

Margin of safety

Margin of safety is the excess number of units sold over break-even point.
Margin of safety give the directors confidence that even if sales or production falls slightly a profit can still be maintained

Break-even analysis
