The drug combination diphenoxylate/atropine (trade name Lomotil) is a popular oral anti-diarrheal in the United States, manufactured by Pfizer. Its UK BAN generic name is co-phenotrope. Its active ingredients are diphenoxylate and atropine. Diphenoxylate is anti-diarrheal and atropine is anticholinergic. A subtherapeutic amount of atropine sulfate is present to discourage deliberate overdosage. Atropine has no anti-diarrheal properties, but will cause tachycardia when overused.
What it is: In finance, net assets refers to the value of a company's assets minus its liabilities. For individuals, the concept is the same as net worth. How it works (Example): The formula for net assets is: Net assets = Total assets - Total liabilities. Let's assume that Company XYZ's balance sheet reported $10,500,000 in assets and $5,000,000 in total liabilities. The company's net assets would be: Net Assets = $10,500,000 - $5,000,000 = $5,500,000.
The formula for total asset turnover is: Net sales / Total assets = Total asset turnover. For example, a business that has net sales of $10,000,000 and total assets of $5,000,000 has a total asset turnover ratio of 2.0. It is best to plot the ratio on a trend line, to spot significant changes over time.
