Answer:

Quality of earnings ratio = (cash from operations) / (net income). This equation yields a ratio that shows the extent to which a company can verify its reported income through hard operational earnings rather than through aggressive accounting methods.        
Quality of earning ratio 0.766666667                                                
                                                   
High numbers show a high quality of earnings                                                
                                                   
      2011 2012 2013                                        
  Cashflow from operations 478 403 470                                        
  CAPEX   459 477 456                                        
  Capital acquasition ratio 1.041394 0.844864 1.030702                                        
Capital Acquisition Ratio = (cash flow from operations - dividends) / cash paid for acquisitions.                                      
The capital acquisition ratio reflects the company's ability to finance capital expenditures from internal sources.                                  
A ratio of less than 1:1 (100 %) indicates that capital acquisitions are draining more cash from the business than they are generating revenues.
