If the cash is higher than the net income, the company’s net income is of high quality. If the cash is lower than the net income, the company’s net income is not turning into cash and a red flag should go up.

In fiscal year 2008, Home Depot Incorporated generated $5.5 billion of cash flow from operations and used $2.0 billion to repay short-term debt and other obligations plus $1.8 billion for capital expenditures and $1.5 billion in dividends.
Note that the actual state rate is reduced by 25% to allow for the deductibility of state income taxes on the federal income tax return. Thus, she should choose the corporate bond. When the state rate is 10%, Dana would achieve the following returns from the Treasury bond or the corporate bond: The Treasury bond would still yield $1,125 or $30,000 x [.05 x (1-.25)] after tax because state rates don’t affect after- tax returns from Treasury bonds. The corporate bond yields $1,215 or $30,000 x [.06 x (1 - .25 - .10(1-.25))] after tax. Again, note that the actual state rate is reduced by 25% to allow for the deductibility of state income taxes on the federal income tax return.
The ROE for Sepracor is 33.07%, which means that 33.07 cents of assets are created for each dollar that was originally invested. It measures how Sepracor is using its money.

Debt to asset ratio measures the company’s solvency, and the higher the ratio, the lower the borrowing capacity for the company. I would make an investment in the company’s 5% convertible bonds.
