Common Mistakes
- Not considering the strategic position, research and development costs, and other potential value than might be received in the future but does not show up as sales in the present.
- Net sales does not mean net profits. Just because a total asset turnover is high, there is no reason to believe that a firm is profitable.
- Firms that rely upon renting assets (rather than purchasing them) may enjoy superior ratios, even though long-term costs will be higher.
