The First Altman Z-Score Analysis (1968)
According to Altman (1968) in The Journal of Finance, Z-Score Altman model is a model by predicting or classifying companies to determine the level of health based on the value of Z obtained. Systematically Altman Z-Score equations can be formulated as follows:
Z = 1.2X1 + 1.4X2 + 3.3X3 + 0.6X4 + 1.0X5

Information:
X1 = Net Working Capital / Total Assets
X2 = Retained Earning / Total Assets
X3 = Earning Before Interest and Tax / Total Assets
X4 = Market Value of Equity / Book Value of Debt
X5 = Sales / Total Assets
Company classification based on Z value obtained are:
• If Z> 2.99, then enter into healthy company.

• If Z is between 1.81 and 2.99 the firm goes into the gray area (possibly the company can bounce back or potentially
