Excerpt from A Simple Theory of Financial Ratios as Predictors of Failure
Several years ago William Beaver published a Very interesting article reporting an empirical study of various financial ratios as predictors of failure.1 Using matched samples of failed firms versus non-failed firms, he found that several easily available financial ratios were good predictors of failure, while others, probably more widely used, were mediocre predictors.2 Specifically the criterion ratios cash flow/total assets, net income/total assets, total debt/total assets and particularly cash flow/total debt were good predictors of failure, the latter even up to five years before the event, while such widely used ratios as the current ratio were of only mediocre value until the final year before failure, and even then inferior to the.aforementioned ratios.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces a new theoretical model to predict business failure based on the idea that the likelihood of failure can be calculated using the ratio of a firm's liquid wealth and the standard deviation of its cash flow. The author gives some examples of the many ways financial ratios can be applied to predict business failure, arguing that some widely used ratios are only useful for predictive purposes when a crisis is near. By contrast, he says that the ratio of cash flow to total debt â" even up to five years before a business fails â" can be a good predictor of failure. The author also gives a formula for calculating the probability of failure based on a simplified "random walk" model. In this model, the probability of failure increases as the "drift rate" of a firm's wealth decreases and the standard deviation of that drift rate increases. The book concludes by arguing that, while the model is simple, it provides a useful explanation for Beaver's results and can be used to generate hypotheses for even better predictors of business failure. By incorporating these new and improved predictors, lenders and investors may be better able to select attractive risk situations and determine appropriate risk premiums.
