Ratio Analysis

The savings ratio measures the relationship between total annual savings and total expense.  The savings ratio is an important component of longevity, as high ratios may indicate excessive savings.   In Amazon’s case, and any other business model, it would be beneficial to have more revenue than expenses.


        

    2005    2006

Total Revenue    8,490    10,711.0
Total Expenses    1607    2067
        
Savings Ratio    4.28    4.18


These numbers are extremely high for Amazon.  Amazon has quadrupled the amount of revenue in comparison to the total amount of expenses.    If the savings ratio continues to increase, the amount of excess savings will increase.  Amazon will be in a better position if the savings ratio decreased.

The Liquid Funds Indicators measures an organization’s operating liquidity by dividing fund balances (excluding land, equipment, building, and frozen endowment) by an average month’s expenses.
