I’m sorry to ask something so basic… Mind is going into meltdown.
For ratios, whenever we use a balance sheet item - we always take the average of the period… ie. (2009 value + 2010 value) / 2作者: dvilayphet 时间: 2013-4-2 12:23
nope - for blended ratios (such as ROE), you can use the average. For pure balance sheet ratios, just use the balances.
I/S gives you a year’s activity, while a B/S gives you a point in time snapshot.
So when calculating ratios that rely on both B/S and I/S accounts, use the average on the B/S.作者: mkytz15 时间: 2013-4-2 12:23

So Ive seen this 2 different ways so i think i must have forgotten already. Inventory turnover is COGS/Avg Inv. so you average the inventory for the 2 years, at least one thats the way i do it for work.作者: profil 时间: 2013-4-2 12:24
