Asset Turnover Ratio Net Sales Average Total Assets The higher the ratio, the more efficient the business is in utilizing the Economic resource ASSETS to generate Revenue(Sales) Note: Should be compare period to period Within industry With competitors

Asset Turnover Ratio Total assets turnover - if asset turnover is high, the firm is presumably using its assets effectively to generate sales - the higher the total asset turnover, the more impact the firm is getting out of its total assets Fixed asset turnover - removes current assets from the total asset turnover calculation. Questions a.) What can we conclude if a clothing retailer has a fixed assets turnover of 10?.we probably can't conclude much of anything even if we compare the ratio to industry averages. Why?.because clothing retailers have very little in the way of fixed assets; therefore, the FAT is not an important financial ratio for them.

Asset Turnover Ratio What can we conclude if an automobile manufacturer has a fixed assets turnover of 10?.we can't conclude anything until we compare the ratio to industry averages, but we know that the FAT is an important variable. If the FAT is significantly below industry average, the firm may be in some trouble. What can we conclude if a clothing retailer has a total assets turnover of 10? again, we need to compare to the industry average. The TAT is important for clothing retailers because it includes short-term assets such as inventory.

Financial Statement Analysis Financial accounting numbers are only meaningful when compared to other relevant numbers (Is a reported income of $1 billion large or small?). Comparisons across time - GAAP requires disclosure of account numbers for current and preceding years (Balance sheet 2 years, all others 3 years) - Often even longer time-series are published by the companies - Historic trends as indicator of future trends Comparisons within the industry - Compare accounting numbers to those of similar companies (e.g. in same industry) - Industry surveys report information concerning industry averages - Different industries typically have different normal accounting numbers (e.g. retailers have high inventory, pharmaceutical firms have large R&D costs) Comparisons within the Financial Statements - Common-size Financial Statements Facilitates identification of changes in the structure of financial flows and stocks - Financial Ratios Many ratios possible, no fixed rules Typically, averages are used for stock numbers, i.e. balance sheet accounts

Net Profit Margin Analysis Net profit margin measures how much of every sales dollar generated during the period is profit. A rising net profit margin signals more efficient management of sales and expenses.

The 2011 ratio for Chipotle using actual reported amounts is (dollars in thousands): $215,000 $2,269,500 = 0.0949 or 9.47%
