3 Step DuPont Analysis for ROE | Financial Statement Analysis [Video]

The 3-step DuPont Analysis disaggregates return on equity (ROE) into 3 components: ROE = profit margin * asset turnover * equity multiplier Profit margin and asset turnover both pertain to the company’s operations, whereas the equity multiplier is a measure of leverage that pertains to the company’s financing decisions. Increasing the company’s leverage can increase ROE if the company is doing well, as the company can borrow money and earn a higher return than the cost of borrowing. In bad times, however, increased leverage can be a bad thing, as the company needs to continue making interest payments even if it is losing money. Thus, leverage makes good situations better and bad situations worse.— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.

5 Step DuPont Analysis for ROE | Financial Statement Analysis [Video]

The 3-step DuPont analysis is helpful in that it breaks ROE into 3 components. However, the 3-step DuPont doesn’t fully isolate the effect of the firm’s financing decisions because it measures profit margin as net income divided by sales. The 5-step DuPont analysis corrects for this by using operating margin instead of profit margin and separately measuring the interest burden and the tax burden.The 5-step DuPont Analysis thus disaggregates return on equity (ROE) into 5 components: ROE = [(operating margin * asset turnover) – interest burden] * equity multiplier * (1 – tax rate)— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.

Lease Classification for Lessee | IFRS 16 [Video]

IFRS 16 requires lessees to capitalize all leases, with two exceptions: (1) short-term leases (lease term of 12 months or less)(2) leases of low-value assets (fair market value of the leased asset is $5,000 or less at the beginning of the lease)If the lease meets either of these two exceptions, the lessee can choose not to capitalize the lease. It might seem like a company could avoid capitalizing a lease by simply entering into a one-year lease (to qualify for the short-term lease exception) and then renewing the lease each year. Such a company would still be required to capitalize the lease, however. This is because leases with a term of 12 months or less must be capitalized if (a) they have a renewal option and (b) it’s reasonably certain the lessee will exercise the renewal option.— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.

Earnings Management and Financial Statement Analysis [Video]

When analyzing a company’s financial statements, it’s important to remember that the company’s management may have manipulated the financial statements. The company may have engaged in aggressive revenue recognition or improperly capitalized expenses to inflate the company’s profit. Thus, detecting whether a company has engaged in earnings management (or financial statement fraud) is a critical aspect of financial statement analysis; don’t just take the numbers as given. Remember that a lot of assumptions, estimates, and decisions led to the creation of those numbers, so they should be viewed with a degree of skepticism.— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
