The business unit strategies inevitably require investments in accounts receivable, inventories, plant & equipment, and possibly, acquisitions. Step 3 of the process is an attempt to estimate the amount that will be tied up in each of the asset types by virtue of sales growth and the improvement/deterioration in asset management. An analyst can make a rough estimate by studying the past pattern of the collection period, the days of inventory, and plant & equipment as a percent of cost of goods sold; and then applying a “reasonable value” for each to the sales forecast or the forecast of cost of goods sold. Extrapolation of past performance assumes, of course, that the future underlying market, competitive and regulatory “drivers” will be unchanged from the conditions that influenced the historical performance.

Consumption may be a better indicator of one’s true income one might argue. A person’s actual consumption of goods may be more related to an individual’s well being, that is considering they have enough to meet basic needs (Coudouel1996). It is important to consider income in the ability to access basic necessities, but we must also include an individual’s access and availability. Consumption may better reflect a household’s true standard of living (Coudouel 1996). Consumption expenditures do not solely reflect the goods and services a household can command based on their income and monetary assets, but the ability for a household to have access to credit markets or capability to have household’s savings when their income is low due to certain circumstances. However, one should not be dogmatic about using income as a sole source of measure of

The overall financial health of Electronic Arts is relatively poor. The figures in this paper all come from MSN Moneycentral, for ease of comparability over the past five years. As a positive point, the company has seen its revenues increase in FY 2012, but they are still below the level of 2009, which was a high for the company. The decline in revenue during both 2010 and 2011 resulted in significant changes at the company, including multiple rounds of layoffs and office closures. The company was not profitable during the 2008-2011 period but returned to profitability during 2012. The main culprit for the lack of profitability was "unusual expense", which is basically writedowns of overvalued assets. In addition, the company's gross profit during the years of loss was not strong enough. In 2009, for example, which was a high-water mark for revenues, EA had a gross margin of 49.5%. Last year, it was 61.4%. An examination of the company's cash flow from operating activities confirms that its margin improvements have helped its finances. In FY 2009, it earned just $12 million from operations, compared with $277 million last year. Improving margins is a positive sign, but coming after several years of weak margins and net losses, EA needs to sustain this positive trend before any celebrations can be made.
