3. Divide quick assets by current liabilities. Quick assets are cash, temporary investments, and receivables.
4. Divide sales by average accounts receivable. Average Accounts receivable = (Beginning Net Accounts Receivable + Ending Net Accounts Receivable) ÷ 2.
5. Divide average accounts receivable by average daily sales. Average Accounts receivable = (Beginning Net Accounts Receivable + Ending Net Accounts Receivable) ÷ 2. Average daily sales are sales divided by 365 days.
6. Divide cost of goods sold by average inventory. Average Inventory = (Beginning Inventories + Ending Inventories) ÷ 2.
7. Divide average inventory by average daily cost of goods sold. Average Inventory = (Beginning Inventories + Ending Inventories) ÷ 2. Average daily cost of goods sold are cost of goods sold divided by 365 days.

11. Divide net income by preferred dividends from the retained earnings statement.
12. Divide sales by average total assets, excluding long-term investments. Average total assets = (Beginning total assets + Ending total assets) ÷ 2.
13. Divide the sum of net income plus interest expense by average total assets. Average total assets = (Beginning total assets + Ending total assets) ÷ 2.
14. Divide net income by average total stockholders' equity. Average total stockholders' equity = (Beginning total stockholders' equity + Ending total stockholders' equity) ÷ 2.
15. Divide net income minus preferred dividends from the retained earnings statement by average common stockholders' equity. Common stockholders' equity = Common stock + Retained earnings. Average common stockholders' equity = (Beginning common stockholders' equity + Ending common stockholders' equity) ÷ 2.
