Ratio Analysis of Financial Statements
Using the previous two assignments (create a balance sheet and create an income statement), analyze the financial situation with ratios. After analyzing your financial statements, use the attached excel template to complete the ratio analysis.
Calculate the following ratios, compare the calculated value to the benchmark AND provide a summary of what the calculated value means.
- Emergency Fund ratio
- Current ratio
- Housing ratio #1
- Housing ratio #2
- Debt to Total Assets
- Net Worth to Total Assets
- Retirement Savings Adequacy ratio (savings rate)
For example, if my cash and cash equivalents (cash, money market fund, CDs, etc.) are $53,400 and my current liabilities (credit cards, car loan due within 1 year, etc.) are $39,679, then my current ratio would be (53,400/39, 679=1.3458). The benchmark for this ratio should be above 1. The value means that the client can pay for all of their current liabilities with the amount of cash on hand and still have some cash left. This is a very good place to be for this client.
