|
C) |

The reinvestment ratio measures a firm’s ability to acquire long-term assets with cash flows from operations. In contrast, the investing and financing ratio, which is more comprehensive, measures the firm’s ability to purchase assets, satisfy debts, and pay dividends.
The cash-to-income ratio measures the ability to generate cash from a firm’s operations and is a performance ratio for cash flow analysis purposes. The debt payment ratio measures the firm’s ability to satisfy long-term debt with cash flow from operations but it is more of a coverage ratio than a performance ratio.
