Problem 9-20A
Sorrento Corporation’s balance sheet indicates that the company has $500,000 invested in operating assets. During 2018, Sorrento earned operating income of $50,000 on $1,000,000 of sales.
Required
- a. Compute Sorrento’s profit margin for 2018.
- b. Compute Sorrento’s turnover for 2018.
- c. Compute Sorrento’s return on investment for 2018.
- d. Recompute Sorrento’s ROI under each of the following independent assumptions:
- (1) Sales increase from $1,000,000 to $1,200,000, thereby resulting in an increase in operating income from $50,000 to $56,000.
- (2) Sales remain constant, but Sorrento reduces expenses, resulting in an increase in operating income from $50,000 to $52,000.
- (3) Sorrento is able to reduce its invested capital from $500,000 to $400,000 without affecting operating income.
a.
Calculate the profit margin of Corporation S.
Explanation of Solution
Operating profit margin: This ratio gauges the operating profitability by quantifying the amount of income earned from business operations from the sales generated.
Formula of operating profit margin:
Calculate the profit margin of Corporation S, if operating income is $50,000 and sales is $1,000,000.
Thus, the profit margin of Corporation S is 5%.
b.
Calculate the turnover of Corporation S.
Explanation of Solution
Investment turnover: This ratio gauges the operating efficiency by quantifying the amount of sales generated from the assets invested.
Formula of investment turnover:
Calculate the turnover of Corporation S, if operating assets is $500,000 and sales is $1,000,000.
Thus, the turnover of Corporation S is 2 times.
c.
Calculate the return on investment (ROI) of Corporation S.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate the ROI of Corporation S, if operating income is $50,000, and operating assets are $1,000,000.
Thus, the ROI of Corporation S is 10%.
d-1.
Calculate the ROI of Corporation S, if operating income increases to $56,000, and sales increases to $1,200,000.
Explanation of Solution
Formula of ROI according to DuPont formula:
Calculate the ROI of Corporation S, if operating income increases to $56,000, sales increases to $1,200,000, and operating assets remain at $500,000.
Thus, ROI of Corporation S is 11.21%.
2.
Calculate the ROI of Corporation S, if operating income increases to $52,000.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate the ROI of Corporation S, if operating income increases to $52,000, sales remain at $1,000,000, and operating assets remain at $500,000.
Thus, ROI of Corporation S is 10.4%.
3.
Calculate the ROI of Corporation S, if operating assets decreases to $400,000.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate the ROI of Corporation S, if operating assets decreases to $400,000, sales remain at $1,000,000, and operating income remains at $50,000.
Thus, ROI of Corporation S is 12.5%.

Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.., (WMT) operates retail stores and supermarkets. The following data (in millions) were taken from recent financial statements of each company: Compute the return on assets for each company using the preceding data, and rank the companies’ return on assets from highest to lowest. Round the return on assets to one decimal place.arrow_forwardEXCESS CAPACITY Krogh Lumbers 2016 financial statements are shown here. Krogh Lumber Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016 (Thousands of Dollars) Krogh Lumben Income Statement for December 31, 2016 (Thousands of Dollars) Sales 36,000 Operating costs including depredation 30,783 Earnings before interest and taxes 5,217 Interest 1,017 Earnings before taxes 4,200 Taxes (40%) 1,680 Net income 2,520 Dividends (60%) 1,512 Addition to retained earnings 1,008 a. Assume that the company was operating at full capacity in 2016 with regard to all items except fixed assets; fixed assets in 2016 were being utilized to only 75% of capacity. By what percentage could 2017 sales increase over 2016 sales without the need for an increase in fixed assets? b. Now suppose 2017 sales increase by 25% over 2016 sales. Assume that Krogh cannot sell any fixed assets. All assets other than fixed assets will grow at the same rate as sales; however, after reviewing industry averages, the firm would like to reduce its operating costs/sales ratio to 82% and increase its total liabilities-to-assets ratio to 42%. The firm will maintain its 60% dividend payout ratio, and it currently has 1 million shares outstanding. The firm plans to raise 35% of its 2017 forecasted interest-bearing debt as notes payable, and it will issue bonds for the remainder. The firm forecasts that its before-tax cost of debt (which includes both short- and longterm debt) is 11%. Any stock issuances or repurchases will be made at the firms current stock price of 40. Develop Kroghs projected financial statements like those shown in Table 16.2. What are the balances of notes payable, bonds, common stock, and retained earnings?arrow_forward
