The Balance Sheet
Debt
Debt represents the loan the firm has outstanding, and it
generally is divided into 2 categories – short-term debt and
long-term debt
Short – term debt (current liabilities) represent debt that is
due within 1 year – that is, these debts are paid off within 12
months. Current liabilities includes accounts payable
(amount owed to suppliers), accruals (amount owed to
employees and government) and notes payable (amount
owed to bank).
Long-term debt includes the bonds and similar debt
instruments that the firm has issued that are paid off over a
period longer than 1 year

The Balance Sheet
Equity
Equity represents stockholders’ ownership, does not to be
“paid off”
The common stock account shows the amount that
stockholders paid to company when the company issued
stock to raise funds.
The retained earning account effectively represents the total
amount of income that the firm has saved and reinvested in
assets since the firm started business.

2.2. The ratio analysis
2.2.1. How do investors use financial statements?
Working (operating) capital
The term working capital generally refers to a firm’s
current assets
Much of funding for these short-term assets is
provided from “loans” (suppliers, employees, the
government)
Investors are interested in a firm’s operating capital
for 2 reasons:
1. Short-term financing arrangements must be paid off
in the short-term.
2. Short-term investments generally earn a lower return
than long-term investments.

Potential Problems and Limitations of
Financial Ratio Analysis
Comparison with industry averages is difficult if the firm
operates many different divisions
Inflation distorts balance sheets
Seasonal factors can distort ratios
“Window dressing” can make ratios look better.
Different operating and accounting practices distort
comparisons
Sometimes hard to tell if a ratio is “good” or “bad”
Difficult to tell whether company is, on balance, in
strong or weak position
