Question
Chapter 3, Problem 1QTD
Summary Introduction
To discuss: Limitations of ratio analysis as a measure of financial statement analysis.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The limitations of the ratio analysis are as follows,

- It may not capture the changing strategy of the company, and hence an analyst could miss the crucial changes in the enterprise design.
- It cannot be useful for better understanding during extraordinary periods like a period of low growth or high growth.
- Ratios can be used as a standalone figures, this must have used previous year’s ratios for comparison purposes.

- A sporting goods manufacturer has decided to expand into a related business. Management estimates that to build and staff a facility of the desired size and to attain capacity operations would cost $450 million in present value terms. Alternatively, the company could acquire an existing firm or division with the desired capacity. One such opportunity is a division of another company. The book value of the division’s assets is $250 million and its earnings before interest and tax are presently $50 million. Publicly traded comparable companies are selling in a narrow range around 12 times current earnings. These companies have book value debt-to-asset ratios averaging 40 percent with an average interest rate of 10 percent. a. Using a tax rate of 34 percent, estimate the minimum price the owner of the division should consider for its sale. b. What is the maximum price the acquirer should be willing to pay? c.

We will get a reasonably accurate answer.) b. How much interest will he pay over the life of the loan? c. How much should be willing to pay to get out of a 14 percent mortgage and into a 10 percent mortgage with 25 years remaining on the mortgage? Assume current interest rates are 10 percent.

You are asked to set up a fund of semiannual payments to be compounded semiannually to accumulate a sum of $250,000 after nine years at a 10 percent annual rate (18 payments). The first payment into the fund is to take place six months from today, and the last payment is to take place at the end of the ninth year. Determine how much the semiannual payment should be. (a) On the day, after the sixth payment is made (the beginning of the fourth year), the interest rate goes up to a 12 percent annual rate, and you can earn a 12 percent annual rate on funds that have been accumulated as well as all future payments into the funds. Interest is to be compounded semiannually on all funds. Determine how much the revised semiannual payments should be after this rate change (there are 12 payments and compounding dates). The next payment will be in the middle of the fourth year.arrow_forward
