Paperback. Etat : 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.
