  13. Testing Liquidity • Working Capital • Current assets – current liabilities • Adequacy must be related to size of business • May indicate sufficient liquidity; however, funds may not be available to meet business cash flow needs due to timing of funds availability • Recommended guidelines suggest positive to stable trend of working capital

  14. Testing Liquidity • Working Capital / Gross Revenues Ratio • Working capital Gross revenues • Gives relationship of working capital to size of farm business • Higher the ratio = greater the liquidity • 20% or greater recommended

  15. Testing Liquidity • Debt Structure • Current liabilities / total liabilities • Debt structure percentage increases if debt continues to be paid off without new debt • Decrease in debt structure signifies a newly incurred debt • Asset Structure • Current assets / total assets • Liquidity problems if asset structure is less than debt structure

  16. solvency

  17. Testing Solvency • Net Capital Ratio • Total assets total liabilities • Net capital ratio less than 1 = total liabilities greater than total assets so business is insolvent • Debt to Asset Ratio • Total liabilities total assets • Desired ratio less than 0.4 • Debt to Equity Ratio • Total liabilities total net worth • Desired ratio less than 0.66 • Equity to Asset Ratio • Total net worth total assets • Desired ratio greater than 0.60 • Solvencyratios are typically measured on market values to provide better indication of business worth if liquidated

  18. Profitability

  19. Testing Profitability • Rate of Return on Assets • Annual earning__ total assets • Rate of Return on Equity • net income____ average total equity

  20. Testing Profitability • Operating Profit Margin • Net profit __; net revenue • Net Farm Income • Gross income – total expenses +/- inventory changes – depreciation
