Current Ratio
If current liabilities are rising faster than current asset, the current ratio will fall and that could
spell trouble. In Walt Disney Company in 2007, the current liabilities are higher than current
asset, so that the current ratio is weaknesses.
Quick Ratio
A large amount of current asset relative to current liabilities provides assurances that the
company will be able to satisfy its immediate obligations. So, after current asset minus the
inventory the total quick ratio is still lower than current liabilities. So that, quick ratio is
weaknesses.
In Walt Disney Company the total debt asset ratio is 0.49. That is less than 1 so that its strength.
This is because, the total debt ratio tells us that this business is not in good health and may
become really ill; for good health, the total debt ratio should be 1 or less. If the ration less than 1
means the company have more assets than debt.
by issuing stock, which will lower the long-term debt to equity ratio. It still same with long term
debt to equity ratio if the total less than 1 so that its strength because the total is 0.6.
The number, the better the firm can pay its interest expense on debt. If the times interest earned
ratio is less than 1.0, then the firm cannot meet its total interest expense on its debt. So, for the
Walt Company Disney is 10.03 and the company have strength factor.
Inventory turnover
For high and strength inventory ratio means that the company is efficiently managing and selling
its inventory. The faster the inventory sells the fewer funds the company has tied up. Companies
have to be careful if they have a high inventory turnover as they are subject to stock outs. So, for
Walt Disney Company the inventory turnover is 52.27times per year and that is strength because
the ratio is high.
If the fixed asset turnover ratio is low as compared to the industry or past years of data for the
firm, it means that sales are low or the investment in plant and equipment is too much. Fixed
assets turnover for year 2007 and 2006 is 2x. So the conclusion is neutral.
The higher the ratio of sales to total assets, is better and strength. This implies that a company is
generating number of sales for every dollar of assets on hand. We can see total asset is higher
than total sales. So the conclusion is the ratio is weakness.
the cycles are 266.20 days. So that that is weakness because must take longer times to do
receivables.
Gross profit margin
The higher the gross profit margin is better however, delineation must be made between
production oriented companies and service oriented companies. We can see, for Walt Disney
Company, the gross profit margin is 92%. So this ratio is strength because every dollar generated
in sales, the company has 92 cents left over to cover basic operating costs and profit.
The higher a company's return on equity compared to its industry, the better. This should be
obvious to even the less-than-astute investor. Walt Disney Company also gets strength for ROE
because the ratio in 2007(0.152) is higher than 2006(0.106).
The earnings per share ratio are mainly useful for companies with publicly traded shares. EPS
doesn't really tell a whole lot. But if you compare it to the EPS from a previous quarter or year it
SHD 3583/FPPSM/Sec 02/G7
indicates the rate of growth a company’s earnings are growing. After calculate we can see the
EPS for the year 2007 is 0.259 but for the year 2006 is 0.302. So we can see, that is decrease and
automatically the EPS is weakness.
Sales
The sales of company in 2007 is $35510 and $34285 in year 2006.The sales of the company is
growth to 103.57%.We can see that the sales of Disney is getting strength in 2007 if compare
with year 2006.
Net income
The net income of company in 2007 is $4687 and $3374 in year 2006.The net income of Disney
is getting strength in 2007 if compare with year 2006 because the net income of the company is
growth to 138.92%.
