Formulas:ROE = AU x PM x EM (reduced form)
PM = NI / Sales
AU = Sales / TA
EM = TA/TE
Current Ratio = CA / CL
Acid-Test Ratio = (CA - Inv.) / CL
Turnover = COGS / Inv.
Interest Coverage = EBIT / Int. Exp.
Market to Book = Market Value / Book Value
P/E = Price / Earnings
Dividend Yield = Dividend / Price
HPR = (P1 - P0 + D1)/ P0
g = ROE x plowback ratio
P/E = 1/k x (1 + PVGO/(E/k))
P/E = (1 - plowback) / (k-g)
EAR = (1 + HPR)365/n - 1
rbdy = (Discount/Par) * (360/n)
Price = 10000*[1-(rbdy*(n/360))]
V = (D1)/k - g
FV = (1+k)n x Pmt
Terminal Value = P/E x NI
Percentage Ownership = FV / TV
New shares = [%Ownership/(1-%Ownership)] * Old Shares
Price = Investment / Shares Outstanding
Maintenance margin = (Q*P - Debt) / (Q*P)
Maintenance margin = (Asset - Q*P) / (Q*P)
