Current ratio = Acid-test ratio: a more stringent test of short-term liquidity, uses only the most liquid current assets: cash, short-term investments, and accounts receivable. Acid-test ratio =
1-22
Analysis and Interpretation: Mixon's short-term liquidity position has weakened over this two-year period. Both the current and acid-test ratios show declining trends. Although we do not have information about the nature of the company's business, the acid-test ratio shift from 1.7 to 1 down to 0.9 to 1 and the current ratio shift from 2.9 to 1 down to 1.9 to 1 indicate a potential liquidity problem. Still, we must recognize that industry standards may show that the 2004 ratios were too high (instead of 2006 ratios as too low). 1-23

Both cost of goods sold and operating expenses are taking a larger percent of each sales dollar in year 2006 compared to the prior year. Also, even though sales volume increased, net income both decreased in absolute terms and declined to only 13.0% of sales as compared to 28.2% in the year before.

1-59 Analysis Preview Annuity & its Present Value (PV) An annuity is a series of payments made at fixed intervals of time.
1-60 Analysis Preview PV formula for Annuity The PV of an annuity is the summation of a Geometric sequence, the discount factor is its common ratio. 1 * (1+i) 2-1 (1 + i)p P = A A(1 + i) n P(1 + i 1) = A[1 (1 + i) n ] P = A [1 (1 + i) n ] / i 1 2
1-61 Analysis Preview Discount rate VS discount factor Discount rate: Assuming a discount rate (i) of 10%, the $1,000 in a year's time would be equivalent to $909.09 to you today (1,000 / [1.00 + 0.10]). Discount factor: for the same case, the discount factor is 1/(1+i)= 1 / (1.00 + 0.10) = 10/11 PV factor for annuity: PV factor for annuity
1-62 Analysis Preview Annuity & its Present Value (PV) Use the formula to compute the PV of the annuity : discount rate = 5% PV = Annuity * PV factor (of annuity) = 1000 * [ 1-1.05^(-5) ] / 0.05 = 1000 * 4.32948 = 4329.48

1-71 Analysis in an Efficient Market Three assumed forms of market efficiency Weak Form - prices reflect information in past prices Semi-strong - prices reflect all public Form information Strong Form - prices reflect all public and private information
1-72 Analysis in an Efficient Market EMH assumes the existence of competent and well-informed analysts using tools of analysis like those described in this book. It also assumes analysts are continually evaluating and acting on the stream of information entering the marketplace. Extreme proponents of EMH (Efficient Market Hypothesis) claim that if all information is instantly reflected in prices, attempts to reap consistent rewards through financial statement analysis is futile. This extreme position presents a paradox. On one hand, financial statement analysts are assumed capable of keeping markets efficient, yet these same analysts are assumed as unable to earn excess returns from their efforts. Moreover, if analysts presume their efforts in this regard are futile, the efficiency of the market ceases.
