Current Ratio

  • \( \text{Current Ratio} = \frac{\text{Current Assets}}{\text{Current Liabilities}} \).
  • if it is positive, then the banks think you can pay your bills

quick ratio

  • \( \text{Quick Ratio} = \frac{\text{Current Ratio} - \text{inventory}}{\text{Current Liabilities}}\)
  • used in case the inventory has to be discounted (ie the inventory just got recalled)

Leverage Ratios

EBITDA

  • formula:

    • \( \text{EBITDA} = \text{Net Income} + \text{Interest} + \text{Taxes} + \text{Depreciation} + \text{Amoritization}\)
    • \( \text{EBITDA} = \text{Operating Income} + \text{Depreciation} + \text{Amoritization}\)

Debt to total assets = debt / assets

Interest coverage = EBITDA / interest
