The speaker refers to the costs associated with manufacturing or producing goods, which are part of the cost of goods sold (COGS) for industrial companies.

How does the speaker connect net sales with operational expenses?

The speaker connects net sales with operational expenses by covering operational costs such as cost of materials, labor, and other production costs, which are necessary to generate those sales.

What is the significance of covering expenses from loans in the context of the script?

Covering expenses from loans is significant as it represents the financial costs associated with short-term and long-term borrowings, which are part of the operational expenses.

Why is the net profit important in the presented structure?

The net profit is important because it represents what remains after all expenses are deducted from net sales, indicating whether the company made a profit or a loss.

What is the 'liquid margin' and how is it calculated?

The 'liquid margin' is an indicator calculated by comparing net profit to net sales, showing the contribution of net sales to net profit.

How does the speaker link the balance sheet to the income statement?

The speaker links the balance sheet to the income statement by starting with current and non-current assets, resulting in total assets, and then relating net sales to total assets to generate indicators like asset turnover.

What is 'asset turnover' and why is it significant?

Asset turnover is an indicator that shows how many times the total assets are being used to generate net sales, indicating the efficiency of the company's investments in generating sales.

What is the 'return on assets' (ROA) and how is it derived?

The 'return on assets' (ROA) is derived by relating net profit to total assets, showing how efficiently a company is using its assets to generate profit.

What is the 'financial leverage multiplier' and how does it relate to the company's profitability?

The 'financial leverage multiplier' is an indicator that shows how many times the company's financial structure is being renewed through the generation of net profit, relating the ROA to the 'capital turnover' to derive the 'return on equity' (ROE).

How does the return on equity (ROE) differ from return on assets (ROA)?
