A. For a maturity mix of 60% current and 40% long-term debt, prepare the company's
abbreviated
B. For a maturity mix of 60% current and 40% long-term debt, prepare the company's
financial half of its income statement.
C. Based on the financial statements above, calculate the
evaluate the company's risk and return.
D. Based on the financial statements above, calculate the current ratio in order to evaluate
the company's risk and return.
Answer a:-
* Total assets = Current assets + non current assets = 54 + 58 = $112m
* Debt ratio = Total debt / Total assets
0.45 = Total debt / 112
= $50.4m which includes short term bank notes as well as long term bonds
Stockholders' equity = total assets - total debt
= 112 - 50.4 = $61.6m
* 60% of 50.4 = $30.24m is short term bank notes
40% of 50.4 = $20.16m is long term bonds
The balance sheet will appear as follows:-
Current assets | $54m |
Non current assets | 58 |
Total assets | $112m |
Current liabilities | $30.24m |
Long term liabilities | 20.16 |
Total debt | 50.4 |
Stockholders' equity | 61.6 |
Total liabilities & equity | $112m |
Answer b:-
* Interest on current liabilities = 5% of 30.24 = 1.51
* Interest on non current debt = 7% of 20.16 = 1.41
The company's income statement will appear as follows:
EBIT (A) | $10.4m | |
Interest on current liabilities | 1.51 | |
Interest on non current debt | 1.41 | |
Total interest (B) | 2.92 | |
Earnings before taxes (A - B) | 7.48 | |
Income taxes @35% | 2.62 | |
Net income | $4.86m |
Answer C
Return on equity = Net income / Stockholders' equity
= 4.86 / 61.6
= 7.89%
