Question

What kind of visual representation or chart can be made from one of these criteria lsited below?

Criterion 4a: Is the company conservatively financed? Buffett seeks out companies with conservative financing, such as companies with total liabilities relative to total assets that are below the median for their respective industry, low debt to capitalization or low debt to equity. Criterion 4b: Are earnings strong and do they show an upward trend? Buffett looks for companies with strong, consistent, and expanding earnings. We screen for companies with seven-year earnings per share growth greater than 75% of all firms and consistent earnings (3 years). Criterion 4c: Has the company been buying back its shares? Buffett prefers that firms reinvest their earnings within the company, provided that profitable opportunities exist. When companies have excess cash flow, Buffett favors shareholder-enhancing maneuvers such as share buybacks. Criterion 4d: Is the company's return on equity above average? Buffett considers it a positive sign when a company is able to earn above-average returns on equity. Mary Buffett indicates that an average return on equity is approximately 12% over 3 years.

Answer 1

answer-

criteria 4b -

In this criteria, Buffet company can use Bar Chart to visualize the data of comparision of companies. In Bar chart, they can put years on one side upto 7 years and consistent earnings in bottom side. then they can make bars for each company on the chart and make comparision for earnings of each company.

something like this-

percentage retur EPS growth annual projected, 20 years EPS growth, annual projected, 10 years EPS growth, quarterly projected, 20 years EPS growth, quarterly projected, 10 years 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th derile 7th 8th 9th 10th

in criteria 4a- Company can use Table with categories of total liabilities and toal assets then put companies names under them to show or visualize the data.

*as you asked for only one criteria but i give idea to two criterias.
