Ratio Analysis
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
Ratios – useful yardsticks of comparison.Standards vary from one industry to
another; the key is to watch for “red flags.”Critical numbers: measure key financial
and operational aspects of a company’s performance. Examples:Sales per labor hour at a supermarketFood costs as a percentage of sales at a
restaurant.Load factor (percentage of seats filled with
passengers) at an airline. 11 - 15
Interpreting Ratios
Copyright © 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.
When comparing critical numbers to the industry standards, ask:Is there a significant difference in my estimated
ratio and the industry average?If so, what is the difference meaningful?Is the difference good or bad?What are the possible causes of this difference?
What is the most likely cause?

Breakeven point:The level of operation at which a business
neither earns a profit nor incurs a loss. A useful planning tool because it shows
entrepreneurs minimum level of activity required to stay in business.
With one change in the breakeven calculation, an entrepreneur can also determine the sales volume required to reach a particular profit target.
