               Memorandum
               TO:               EEC               Chief               Executive               Officer               (CEO)
               FROM:               Lela               Keel,               EEC               Financial               Analyst
               DATE:               January               10,               2011
               SUBJECT:               Financial               Performance               Analysis
               Introduction
               Financial               ratios               are               very               significant               because               they               analyze               numbers               a               company               maintains               on               their               financial               statements.

Analyzing               financial               ratios               presents               ways               for               internal               and               external               viewers               to               establish               the               monetary               position               of               a               company,               as               well               as               the               performance               of               a               company.

Financial               ratios               can               aid               in               answering               decisive               questions               about               Eddison               Electronics               Company               (EEC),               such               as               whether               we               are               excessively               carrying               liability               or               stock,               if               our               customers               are               reimbursing               in               agreement               with               terms,               whether               our               operational               expenses               are               excessive,               and               if               the               assets               of               the               company               are               being               correctly               used               to               produce               income               For               this               memo               financial               ratios               will               be               explained               and               calculated               for               Wal-Mart,               and               recommendation               will               also               be               done               for               analyzing               EEC's               financial               performance.
               Return               on               Assets
               The               return               on               assets               (ROA)               is               a               ratio               that               determines               the               profit               on               net               revenue               on               overall               assets               for               a               company               after               interest               and               taxes               have               been               paid.

The               ROA               measurement               is               an               indication               as               to               how               resourceful               a               company               is               in               utilizing               their               assets               to               produce               income.

ROA               =               total               net               income/total               assets               is               the               method               for               calculating               the               ROA               (Investopedia,               2010).

In               taking               Wal-Mart's               net               income               for               2010               and               dividing               it               by               their               total               assets               the               percentage               would               be               84%               (Wal-Mart               Stores               Inc.,               2011).

This               ROA               number               is               good               as               it               indicates               that               Wal-Mart               is               generating               more               capital               on               fewer               assets               (Investopedia,               2010).
               Return               on               Equity
               The               return               on               equity               (ROE)               is               a               ratio               that               measures               return               on               the               stockholder               investments               in               a               company.

The               ROE               will               aid               in               determining               a               company's               profits               by               disclosing               how               much               income               was               produced               with               shareholder               investment               money.

The               usual               way               shareholders               will               view               the               shareholders               equity               of               a               company               would               be               as               the               accounting               "book               value"               of               the               business.

ROE               =               net               income/total               stockholder               equity               is               the               method               for               calculating               the               ROE               (Motley               Fool               Staff,               2011).

Again,               let's               take               Wal-Mart's               net               income               and               divide               it               by               the               total               shareholder               equity               the               percentage               would               be               20%.

This               ROE               percentage               would               indicate               that               Wal-Mart               is               generating               20               cents               on               each               dollar               initially               provided               by               shareholders               (Wal-Mart               Stores               Inc.,               2011).
               Gross               Profit               Margin
               The               gross               profit               margin               is               a               ratio               that               will               show               the               operational               profits               of               a               company's               processes               after               variable               expenses               are               taken               away               from               revenues.

This               ratio               will               determine               a               company's               success               in               their               performance               at               it               relates               to               prices               of               products               and               amount               of               products               sold.

It               does               this               by               disclosing               the               total               revenue               left               over               after               taking               out               for               the               cost               of               selling               the               products.

Gross               profit               margin               =               gross               margin/sales               is               the               method               for               calculating               the               gross               profit               margin               (Investopedia,               2010).

Take               Wal-Mart's               gross               profit               margin               for               the               year               2010               and               divide               it               by               their               net               sales               and               the               percentage               would               be               25%               (Wal-Mart               Stores               Inc,               2011).

This               would               be               the               average               mark-up               that               Wal-Mart               applies               to               their               products               in               order               to               assure               a               profit               (Investopedia,               2010).
               Debt/Equity               Ratio
               The               debt-to-equity               (D/E)               ratio               measures               the               economic               risk               that               a               company               undertakes.

This               ratio               specifies               the               total               equity               and               debt               a               company               is               currently               using               to               pay               for               its               assets.

The               measurement               of               this               would               signify               as               to               how               much               cash               would               be               safe               for               a               company               to               borrow               for               long               periods               of               time.

D/E               =               liabilities/shareholders               equity               is               the               method               for               calculating               the               D/E               (Investing               Answers,               2011).

Take               Wal-Mart's               total               liabilities               and               divide               it               by               their               shareholders               equity               which               would               make               the               percentage               of               1.4               (Wal-Mart               Stores               Inc.,               2011)               or               140%.

This               means               that               for               every               dollar               of               Wal-Mart               owned               by               shareholders,               they               owe               $1.40               to               creditors               (Investing               Answers,               2011).
               Debt               Ratio
               The               debt               ratio               signifies               the               total               debt               a               company               has               comparative               to               their               assets.

This               calculation               will               permit               a               suggestion               to               be               specified               on               the               leverage               a               company               has               along               with               the               possible               debt-load               risks               the               company               has.

In               this               respect,               the               debt               ratio               can               also               aid               shareholders               in               determining               a               company's               level               of               financial               risk.

Debt               ratio               =               total               liabilities/total               assets               is               the               method               for               calculating               the               debt               ratio               (Investopedia,               2010).

Take               Wal-Mart's               total               liabilities               for               the               year               2010               and               divide               it               by               their               total               assets               which               would               be               58%               (Wal-Mart               Stores               Inc.,               2011).

Lower               percentages               mean               that               a               company               is               dependent               less               on               leverage,               while               higher               percentages               mean               that               a               company               is               thought               to               have               taken               on               more               risk               (Investopedia,               2010).

               Current               Ratio
               The               current               ratio               measures               a               company's               ability               to               pay               back               short-range               obligations.

The               measurement               of               this               ratio               can               signify               the               effectiveness               a               company               has               during               its               operational               cycle               and               the               capability               it               has               in               turning               its               products               into               cash.

It               is               used               by               creditors               or               banks               to               see               if               a               company               can               recompense               for               quick-fix               loans               with               quick-fix               assets.

Current               ratio               =               current               assets/current               liabilities               is               the               method               for               calculating               the               current               ratio               (Investopedia,               2010).

Take               Wal-Mart's               current               assets               for               the               year               2010               and               divide               it               by               their               current               liabilities               and               the               total               would               be               0.9               (Wal-Mart               Stores               Inc.

2011).

A               company               is               more               capable               of               paying               their               obligations               if               a               high               current               ratio               is               calculated               (Investopedia,               2010).
               Quick               Ratio
               The               quick               ratio               determines               a               company's               capability               in               meeting               its               short-range               obligations               with               its               on               hand               assets.

It               does               this               by               comparing               a               company's               on               hand               assets               to               its               current               liabilities.

This               ratio               is               somewhat               like               the               current               ratio               except               it               excludes               the               inventory               from               a               company's               current               assets.

By               doing               this               a               company               can               be               given               a               better               idea               of               where               they               stand               in               meeting               their               short-range               obligations.

Quick               ratio               =               current               assets               -               inventory/current               liabilities               is               the               method               for               calculating               the               quick               ratio               (Investopedia,               2010).

Take               Wal-Mart's               current               assets,               subtract               their               inventory,               and               divide               it               by               their               current               liabilities               which               would               total               0.8               (Wal-Mart               Stores               Inc.,               2011).

A               company               is               in               better               position               to               meet               their               obligations               if               their               quick               ratio               is               high               (Investopedia,               2010).
               Inventory               Turnover
               The               inventory               turnover               ratio               measures               a               company's               effectiveness               in               selling               or               replacing               their               inventory               over               a               given               time,               usually               a               year.

Inventory               turnover               =               cost               of               goods               sold/total               inventory               is               the               method               for               calculating               the               inventory               turnover               (Investopedia,               2010).

Take               Wal-Mart's               cost               of               goods               sold               and               divide               it               by               their               total               inventory               and               the               calculation               would               be               they               average               9               times               per               year               in               selling               or               replacing               their               inventory               (Wal-Mart               Stores               Inc.,               2011).

The               higher               the               inventory               turnover               ratios               the               better,               since               a               low               inventory               turnover               ratio               would               indicate               products               tend               to               deteriorate               in               sitting               (Investopedia,               2010).
               Total               Asset               Turnover
               The               total               asset               turnover               is               a               ratio               showing               a               company's               total               sales               produced               for               each               dollar's               worth               of               assets.

It               determines               a               company's               effectiveness               in               using               their               assets               to               produce               revenue               or               sales.

Also,               this               ratio               will               be               useful               for               companies               who               want               to               check               to               see               if               they               are               generating               revenue               in               proportion               to               the               sales               they               are               generating.

Total               asset               turnover               =               sales/total               assets               is               the               method               for               calculating               total               asset               turnover               (Investopedia,               2010).

Take               Wal-Mart's               sales               for               the               year               2010               and               divide               it               by               and               their               total               assets               which               would               total               2.39               (Wal-Mart               Stores               Inc.,               2011).

A               low               profit               margin               would               indicate               that               a               company               has               high               asset               turnover               and               a               high               profit               margin               would               indicate               that               a               company               has               low               asset               turnover               (Investopedia,               2010).
               Price/Earnings               Ratio
               The               price/earnings               (P/E)               ratio               is               the               connection               among               a               company's               market               price               of               shared               stock               and               the               stock's               current               earnings               per-share.

The               P/E               ratio               is               a               method               that               is               frequently               applied               for               establishing               the               value               of               stock.

It               can               be               vital               to               forecasters               who               want               to               understand               how               the               market               values               the               stock               of               a               particular               company.

P/E               ratio               =               market               value               per               share/earnings               per               share               is               the               method               for               calculating               the               P/E               ratio.

Overall,               the               higher               the               P/E               the               better               since               this               would               indicate               that               investors               expect               future               growth               of               the               related               stock               (Investopedia,               2010).
               Accounts               Receivable               Turnover
               Accounts               receivable               turnover               ratio               will               establish               how               successful               a               company               is               in               giving               credit               as               well               as               gathering               debts               owed               to               them.

During               an               accounting               period               the               accounts               receivable               turnover               will               measure               the               number               of               times               a               company               convents               their               credit               sales               into               cash.

Accounts               receivable               turnover               =               credit               sales/accounts               receivable               is               the               method               for               calculating               the               accounts               receivable               turnover.

A               high               turnover               indicates               credit               is               granted               effectively               and               payment               receiving               from               customers               is               effective               (Investopedia,               2010).
               Operating               Ratios
               The               operating               ratio               is               another               method               for               analyzing               financial               statements.

This               ratio               will               compare               the               operating               expenses               of               a               company               to               their               net               sales.

By               comparing               the               operating               expenses               to               net               sales               management               will               be               given               information               that               is               needed               to               make               better               decisions               regarding               the               operations               of               a               company.

Operating               ratio               =               operating               expense/net               sales               is               the               method               for               calculating               the               operating               ratio.

A               low               operating               ratio               is               thought               to               be               ideal,               because               with               a               low               operating               ratio               a               company               will               remain               profitable               in               the               event               of               a               decline               in               revenue               (Investopedia,               2010).
               Common               Size               Ratios
               Common               size               ratios               are               another               method               for               analyzing               the               performance               of               a               company.

Common               size               ratios               evaluate               the               financial               statements               of               a               company               over               different               time               periods.

Common               size               ratio               =               item               of               interest/reference               item               is               the               method               for               calculating               common               size               ratios               (Garrison,               Noreen,               &               Brewer,               2010).

For               instance,               let's               say               that               the               company               wanted               to               compare               inventory               against               total               assets,               the               method               for               calculating               this               would               be               common               size               ratio               =               inventory/total               assets.

Comparing               inventory               within               each               department               against               total               assets               can               reveal               trends               and               provide               insight               to               different               operational               activities               of               a               company.

Common               size               ratios               are               generally               prepared               from               the               balance               sheet               and               income               statement               and               they               are               expressed               as               a               percentage               (Common               Size               Financial               Statements,               2010).
               Conclusion
               There               are               many               ways               to               analyze               the               financial               performance               of               a               company.

Once               the               financial               performance               of               a               company               is               analyzed               decisions               can               then               be               made               by               management               regarding               different               areas               of               a               company.

Given               the               journal               entries               for               2005               for               EEC               I               will               attempt               to               assess               the               performance               of               the               company               using               two               of               the               ratios               mentioned.

Calculating               the               current               ratio               of               EEC               for               the               year               2005               as               being               right               about               3.22               would               tell               me               that               we               are               in               good               financial               health               and               are               able               to               maintain               financial               responsibly               to               pay               back               loans               if               needed.

The               calculation               for               the               D/E               ratio               for               the               year               2005               is               .45               which               is               acceptable               in               that               it               tells               me               we               are               not               having               excessiveness               in               our               debt               to               equity               for               this               period.

These               are               just               a               couple               of               the               ratios               that               can               be               used               to               assess               the               financial               performance               of               the               company,               once               the               performance               is               assessed               in               all               areas               the               road               to               financial               success               is               near.

    One               of               the               best               things               about               having               an               accounting               degree               was               being               taught               how               to               figure               out               financial               ratios               from               an               income               statement               or               balance               sheet.

    However,               you               do               not               need               an               accounting               degree               to               learn               how               to               use               ratios               to               decide               whether               you               want               to               invest               in               a               company               or               not.

    This               article               will               teach               you               how               to               figure               out               the               price               to               earnings               ratio,               and               why               knowing               this               ratio               can               help               you               in               making               an               investment               decision.

    When               studying               a               financial               statement               deciding               whether               you               should               invest               or               not;               one               useful               ratio               to               make               this               decision               is               the               price               to               earnings               ratio.

    On               the               balance               sheet,               when               a               company               reports               the               value               of               their               stock               shares,               they               go               by               book               value.

    However,               the               balance               sheet               is               only               a               snapshot               of               the               business,               at               that               particular               moment               in               time.
                   It's               important               to               understand               that               one               factor               which               drives               market               value               of               a               company's               stock               are               its               earnings.

    By               using               the               price               to               earnings               ratio,               you'll               get               an               idea               of               exactly               what               the               current               price               for               stock               shares               are,               per               dollar               of               earnings.
                   In               other               words,               the               price               to               earnings               ratio               will               reveal               to               you               whether               the               price               of               the               stock               is               over               inflated,               undervalued,               or               just               right;               based               on               the               profit               the               business               is               earning.

    If               you               find               a               company               which               has               a               high               price               to               earnings               ratio,               this               is               only               acceptable               if               the               company               is               looking               to               make               some               big,               profitable,               moves               in               the               near               future.
                   To               calculate               price               to               earnings               ratio,               you               divide               the               current               market               price               of               the               stock               by               the               most               recent               consecutive               12               months               diluted               earnings               per               share.
                   The               stock               market               can               be               a               very               volatile               place.

    Therefore,               it               is               likely               that               stock               prices               will               go               up               and               down               daily               and               can               change               drastically               in               the               matter               of               a               few               minutes.

    You               can               determine               whether               the               current               price               to               earnings               ratio               is               above               or               below               the               current               market               average.

    You               can               accomplish               this               by               comparing               the               company's               price               to               earnings               to               the               average               stock               market               price               to               earnings.
                   The               P/E               is               dependent               upon               industry               and               can               change               from               year               to               year.

    If               a               company               is               mature,               and               it               is               involved               in               a               no               growth               industry,               one               dollar               may               fetch               only               a               $10               or               less               market               value.

    Conversely,               if               a               company               is               involved               with               the               high               growth               industry,               it               would               not               be               uncommon               for               the               company               to               have               $30               or               more               per               dollar               of               earnings,               of               net               income.
                   To               summarize:               P/E               is               calculated               by               dividing               the               current               market               price               of               the               capital               stock               are               provided               by               its               most               recent               12-month               diluted               earnings               per               share,               or               basic               EPS               if               the               company               has               not,               or               does               not,               report               its               diluted               EPS.
                   A               low               P/E               can               be               an               indicator               that               investors               don't               have               confidence               in               the               company               or               it               could               be               an               undervalued               stock.

    If               the               price               to               earnings               is               high,               it               could               mean               the               stock               price               is               artificially               inflated.

    It               could               also               mean               investors               have               a               lot               of               confidence               that               the               company               is               set               to               do               big               things.
                   Price               to               earnings               should               only               be               one               ratio               in               your               arsenal.

    Don't               let               this               ratio               be               the               lone               determinant               of               whether               you               invest               in               that               company               or               not.

    The               price               to               earnings               ratio               is               a               good               starting               point,               but               you               should               do               some               further               digging               and               more               number               crunching,               before               you               invest               in               any               company.
