There are about 20 ratios listed in the appendix of Chapter 7. I know the best policy is "know them all." Is that what everyone plans on doing? Anyone have any insight as to which ratios might be more important than the other?

There are no Actex flash cards with these ratios...not that that means anything :-P

its probably best to know them all. when im studying, i look at a equation and think "no way this shit is on the exam" but then i look at some of the past exams, and theres all kinds of crazy crap i would never expect to see.

Except that some of the ratios are "obvious". Like, for example, EPS or Earnings per Share. Hence, EPS = Earnings / Share

What I did was create a card with the ones I didn't know, and it ended up being 5 or 6 of them.

I'm doing the same.

The Reynolds notes say to review the appendices for Chapter 7 (IN BIG BOLD BLACK LETTERS) plus the old BeginWork manual I have actually included all these ratios in the study notes. That's 2 of 3 sources telling me that these are important.
