What Your Score Means:
50-60 points
You have a thorough
understanding of finance and how to apply it to operating decisions.
40-49 points
Your understanding
of finance is laudable; continue to involve your finance people
in the review of your financial statements and ratios to further
enhance your knowledge; keep asking them questions until their
answers make sense to you; use them to help you formulate your
plans for the future.
30-39 points
You have some understanding
of finance; you should probably take a managerial finance course
to increase your understanding of finance; once you gain that
knowledge, employ the suggestions for the 40 to 49 point group.
20-29 points
You're flying blind
financially; ultimately this will restrict your career growth;
take a managerial finance course so that you can become more
valuable to yourself and your employer.
Every decision has a financial impact.
