This case provides a foundation for student discussion of financial ratios and the insights that may be gained through their use. The case presents textual descriptions of pairs of companies in eight different industries and asks the students to match the text description with the correct financial ratios for each company. Classroom discussion of the students' attempts to match results and companies reveals the strong influence of both industry and corporate strategy on the financial results and ratios for firms. A key lesson is that good financial and ratio analysis requires learning about both an industry's and a company's strategy. The case is also a good vehicle for discussing different financial ratios and their meaning.

<span>Analysts derive a broad array of financial ratios from published financial reports to assess business enterprise performance. Only a few, however, may be necessary for meaningful insight. This study explores whether operating cash flow ratios provide unique or redundant insight in financial ratio analysis of retail firms. Adoption of Financial Accounting Standard #95, The Statement of Cash Flows, by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in 1987 provides the impetus for the ongoing interest in cash flow ratios. We find that operating cash flow ratios provide unique insight, relative to traditional accrual-based financial ratios, regarding a retail firms ability to pay. Therefore, financial ratio analysis of a retail firm should include cash flow ratios for predictive, explanatory or descriptive purposes.</span>

Before And After

Adoption in 2005 of IAS/IFRS by Turkish listed companies resulted in changes in classification, valuation and disclosure of financial items. This paper makes accessible to non-Turkish speakers a detailed investigation of the results from previous ratio analysis studies identified by Balsari & Varan (Balsari & Varan, 2014), in addition to presenting a more extensive analysis than Cengiz (Cengiz, 2014). Eight financial ratios have been analysed before and after implementation of international standards. One set of results compares the periods 2002-2003 with 2005-2006; and the other 2004 with 2005. The companies investigated are substantially the same in both analyses, but different versions of national standards are compared against international standards. Significant differences in average Book Value of Equity per Share are found after implementation of international standards for both sets of comparisons; and for one set only, at a lower confidence level, significant differences are indicated in the leverage ratio. The major contribution of the paper is the analyses of the differences during the pre and post implementation of international standards.
