    Altman Z-Score is a formula used to predict the probability that a firm will go into bankruptcy within two years. The original paper by Professor Edward I. Altman can be found here.

    The formula for Z-Score is as follows:

    Z = 1.2A + 1.4B + 3.3C + 0.6D + 1.0E
    
    A = Working Capital / Total Assets
    B = Retained Earnings / Total Assets
    C = EBIT / Total Assets
    D = Market Value Of Equity / Book Value Of Total Liabilities
    E = Sales / Total Assets
    

    For non-U.S. and financial institutions, a modified version of the formula called Z"-Score is used.

    Z" = 6.56A + 3.26B + 6.72C + 1.05D + 3.25
    
    A = Working Capital / Total Assets
    B = Retained Earnings / Total Assets
    C = Operating Income / Total Assets
    D = Book Value of Equity / Book Value Of Liabilities
    

    The formula for Z-Score is as follows:

    Z-Score:
      Z > 2.99            |   Safe Zone
      2.99 > Z > 1.81     |   Gray Zone
      Z < 1.81            |   Distress Zone
    
    Z"-Score:
