Classic Z factor contributions
X1 Working capital / assets
Short-term liquidity versus the size of the balance sheet.
0.061.2 × = 0.07X2 Retained earnings / assets
Cushion from years of profits. Share buybacks can push this negative at otherwise healthy firms.
0.161.4 × = 0.22X3 EBIT / assets
Operating return on assets. Highest weight in the original model.
0.063.3 × = 0.19X4 Book equity / liabilities

0.380.6 × = 0.23X5 Sales / assets
Asset turnover — how much revenue the asset base supports.
0.601 × = 0.60
