<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>

In this paper, we demonstrate the use of actual financial data for financial ratio analysis.  We construct a financial and industry analysis for Motorola Corporation.  The objective is to show students exactly how to compute ratios for an actual company.  This paper demonstrates the difficulties in applying the principles of financial ratio analysis when the data are not homogeneous, as is the case in textbook examples.  We use Motorola as an example because the firm has several segments, two of which account for the majority of sales and represent two industries (semi-conductor and communications) that have different characteristics.  The case illustrates the complexity of financial analysis.
