Question
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND TAXES Part I of this case, presented in Chapter 3, discussed the situation of D’Leon Inc., a regional snack foods producer, after an expansion program. D’Leon had increased plant capacity and undertaken a major marketing campaign in an attempt to “go national.” Thus far, sales have not been up to the forecasted level, costs have been higher than were projected, and a large loss occurred in 2018 rather than the expected profit. As a result, its managers, directors, and investors are concerned about the firm’s survival.
Donna Jamison was brought in as assistant to Fred Campo, D’Leon’s chairman, who had the task of getting the company back into a sound financial position. D’Leon’s 2017 and 2018 balance sheets and income statements, together with projections for 2019, are given in Tables IC 4.1 and IC 4.2. In addition,Table IC 4.3 gives the company’s 2017 and 2018 financial ratios, together with industry average data.
The 2019 projected financial statement data represent Jamison’s and Campo’s best guess for 2019 results, assuming that some new financing is arranged to get the company “over the hump.” Jamison examined monthly data for 2018 (not given in the case), and she detected an improving patternduring the year. Monthly sales were rising, costs were falling, and large losses in the early months had turned to a small profit by December. Thus, the annual data look somewhat worse than final monthly data. Also, it appears to be taking longer for the advertising program to get the message out, for the new sales offices to generate sales, and for the new manufacturing facilities to operate efficiently. In other words, the lags between c. Calculate the 2019 inventory turnover, days sales outstanding (DSO), fixed assets turnover, and total
assets turnover. How does D’Leon’s utilization of assets stack up against other firms in the industry?
d. Calculate the 2019 debt-to-capital and times-interest-earned ratios. How does D’Leon compare with
the industry with respect to financial leverage? What can you conclude from these ratios?
e. Calculate the 2019 operating margin, profit margin, basic earning power (BEP), return on assets (ROA),
return on equity (ROE), and return on invested capital (ROIC). What can you say about these ratios?
f. Calculate the 2019 price/earnings ratio and market/book ratio. Do these ratios indicate that investors
are expected to have a high or low opinion of the company?
g. Use the DuPont equation to provide a summary and overview of D’Leon’s financial condition as
projected for 2019. What are the firm’s major strengths and weaknesses?
h. Use the following simplified 2019 balance sheet to show, in general terms, how an improvement in
the DSO would tend to affect the stock price. For example, if the company could improve its collection
procedures and thereby lower its DSO from 45.6 days to the 32-day industry average without
affecting sales, how would that change “ripple through” the financial statements (shown in thousands
below) and influence the stock price?
Accounts receivable $ 878 Current liabilities $ 845
Other current assets 1,802 Debt 700
Net fixed assets 817 Equity 1,952
Total assets $3,497 Liabilities plus equity $3,497
i. Does it appear that inventories could be adjusted? If so, how should that adjustment affect D’Leon’s
profitability and stock price?
j. In 2018, the company paid its suppliers much later than the due dates; also, it was not maintaining
financial ratios at levels called for in its bank loan agreements. Therefore, suppliers could cut the company
off, and its bank could refuse to renew the loan when it comes due in 90 days. On the basis of data
provided, would you, as a credit manager, continue to sell to D’Leon on credit? (You could demand
cash on delivery—that is, sell on terms of COD—but that might cause D’Leon to stop buying from
your company.) Similarly, if you were the bank loan officer, would you recommend renewing the loan or demanding its repayment? Would your actions be influenced if, in early 2019, D’Leon showed you its 2019 projections along with proof that it was going to raise more than $1.2 million of new equity?
m. What are some qualitative factors that analysts should consider when evaluating a company’s likely
future financial performance? spending money and deriving benefits were longer than D’Leon’s managers had anticipated.For these reasons, Jamison and Campo see hope for the company—provided it can survive in the short run.
a. Why are ratios useful? What are the five major categories of ratios?
b. Calculate D’Leon’s 2019 current and quick ratios based on the projected balance sheet and income statement data. What can you say about the company’s liquidity positions in 2017, in 2018, and as projected for 2019? We often think of ratios as being useful 
(1) to bankers for credit analysis, and (3) to stockholders for stock valuation. Would these different types of analysts have an equal interest in the company’s liquidity ratios? Explain your answer.
