Use yearend figures in place of averages where needed for the purpose of calculating ratios in this problem. Evaluate the health of the company from a leverage point of view. Assume the company only has common stock issued and outstanding. What other information would be helpful in making your evaluation?
5. Independent of your answer to (4), assume that Footnote 8 of the financial statements includes commitments for long-term operating leases over the next 15 years in the amount of $3,800,000. If the company had to capitalize these leases in 2018, how would it change the leverage ratio and the debt ratio?
