Problem 2 - Use of Ratios to Make Other Calculations

You have a company that currently has a market capitalization of $4.6 billion

It has a market to book ratio of 3 and a book debt to equity ratio of 6.

If cash is $1.1 billion, what is the company's enterprise value?

Solution:

Discussion of the Dupont Formula

The Dupont Formula is a way of disaggregating the components of ROE

ROE = Net Margin X Asset Turnover X Equity Multiplier

We know by definition, ROE = Net Income / Book Equity

Dupont shows us:

ROE =

Net Income /

Times

Sales/

Times

Assets/

Sales

Assets

Equity

We also know by definition, ROA = Net Income / Assets

Dupont shows us:

ROA =

Net Income/

Times

Sales/

Sales

Assets

Problem 3: Consider the following information -

Suppose we use the data from Kroger and Whole Foods:

KR - TTM

WFM - TTM

Net Profit Margin

1.34%

2.44%

Total Asset Turnover

3.36

2.46

Equity Multiplier

5.83

1.91

Calculate Kroger and Whole Foods ROE and ROA from the data given.
We know that ROE = net income / book equity and ROA = net income / total assets; while none of those components are given, we have ratios that can solve the problem!

Question? What would WFM's total asset turnover need to be for it to have the same ROE as Kroger?

As per chegg policy I have answered first 4 question. For rest of question please raise separate request.

We have seen reduction in current asset as well as current liability but increase in long term asset as well as long term liabilities. It seems company is in expansion plan for which it is increasing its debt as well as asset. Cash : Cash has reduced from 14 to 10, which is driven by redemption of sort term debt and notes payable, investment in PPE, higher payment to creditor, partially offset by higher collection from account receivable and cash from long term debt. Account receivable : Cash collection has increased from last year and hence redution in account receivable balance (reduction of AR from 60 to 22). This can be due to lower payment term or discount may be offered for cash sales. Inventory : Firm seems to be expanding its business and making investment hence its required to hold inventory in hand to meet market demand. Inventory has increased from 50 to 70 YOY. PPE : Additional investment of 40 has been made compared to last year - As a result of expansion plan. Accounts payable : reduced from 50 to 45 YOY, this means lower credit term may have been offered from vendor. ST Debt & Notes Payable : Redemption of debt has happened in 2017 by 3. LT Debt : has increased by 30 compared to last year- result of expansion plan Common Stock and Paid in Capital : No change and is flat year on year Retained Earnings   : reduced from 34 to 30 from 2016 to 2017. This is due to higher interest on debt and higher depreciation. calculate liquidity ratios for 2017: 2016 2017 Comment : Current Ratio 1.38                                                                      1.24 Current ratio has reduced YOY, due to redemption of debt and lower creditor. Quick Ratio 0.82                                                                      0.39 Quick ratio has reduced YOY, due to higher investment in inventory. Cash Ratio 0.16                                                                      0.12 Cash ratio : has reduced YOY, due to investment in PPE and other expansion plan. Overall liquidity has reduced YOY based on all ratios Current ratio = Current asset / Current liabilities quick ratio = (Current asset-inventory) / Current liabilities Cash ratio = Cash / Current liabilities calculate some leverage ratios for 2017: Comment on Ratios 2016 2017 Book Debt to Equity 1.1                                                                        1.3 Financial leverage has incresed as more debt used comapred to equity Book Debt to Capital 0.52                                                                      0.57 Financial leverage has incresed as more debt used comapred to equity Equity Multiplier 2.43                                                                      2.61 As more of asset is finance through debt asset to equity ratio is higher in 2017 Book Debt to Equity = (Long term debt+ st debt and note )/Total share holder's equity Book Debt to capital = (Long term debt+ st debt and note )/(Total share holder's equity+long term debt + st debt and notes) Equity Multiplier = Total asset / Total share holder's equity Problem 2 - Use of Ratios to Make Other Calculations market capitalization 4.6 Billion market to book ratio 3 book debt to equity ratio 6 Cash and cash equivalent 1.1 billion Total book valule of equity = Market capitalization/ Market to book ratio =4.6/3                                                                      1.53 Billion Debt/ equity = 6 Debt = 6* equity book value = =6*1.53 9.18 Billion Enterprise value = Market capitalization+ Value of debt - cash and cash equivalents =1.53+9.18-1.1 9.61 billion
