- What do the following data, taken from a comparative balance sheet, indicate about the companys ability to borrow additional long-term debt in the current year as compared to the preceding year?arrow_forwardAs a first step, we need to estimate what percentage of MMMs capital comes from debt, preferred stock, and common equity. This information can be found on the firms latest annual balance sheet. (As of year end 2014, MMM had no preferred stock.) Total debt includes all interest-bearing debt and is the sum of short-term debt and long-term debt. a. Recall that the weights used in the WACC are based on the companys target capital structure. If we assume that the company wants to maintain the same mix of capital that it currently has on its balance sheet, what weights should you use to estimate the WACC for MMM? b. Find MMMs market capitalization, which is the market value of its common equity. Using the sum of its short-term debt and long-term debt from the balance sheet (we assume that the market value of its debt equals its book value) and its market capitalization, recalculate the firms debt and common equity weights to be used in the WACC equation. These weights are approximations of market-value weights. Be sure not to include accruals in the debt calculation.arrow_forwardAssume you are given the following relationships for the Haslam Corporation: Calculate Haslam’s profit margin and liabilities-to-assets ratio.

- RATIO ANALYSIS The Corrigan Corporations 2015 and 2016 financial statements follow, along with some industry average ratios. a. Assess Corrigans liquidity position, and determine how it compares with peers and how the liquidity position has changed over time. b.

Calculate Corrigans ROE as well as the industry average KOE, using the DuPont equation. From this analysis, how does Corrigans financial position compare with the industry average numbers? g. What do you think would happen to its ratios if the company initiated cost-cutting measures that allowed it to hold lower levels of inventory and substantially decreased the cost of goods sold? No calculations are necessary. Think about which ratios would be affected by changes in these two accounts.
