SAMPLE PROBLEMS ON FINANCIAL RATIOS

1. The management of International Heal Medical Company is evaluating the performance of


its three (3) divisions. The Booboo Division had operating profit of P24,950 and on average
used assets with a book value of P311,900. The Splint Division had an operating profit of
P17,500 and used average assets of P177,950. The Intensive Care Division had an operating
profit of P28,500 and average assets of P475,000. The company is planning to award the
Intensive Care Division relying on its high operating profit. Should the management
continue with this decision? Justify your answer.

First, we need to use the formula of Return on Assets to know who among the division has a big
return on assets to be awarded.
Income
Return on Assets = Average total Assets
P 24,950
 Booboo Division = 0.08% Return on Assets
P 311,900
P 17,500
 Splint Division = 0.1% Return on Assets
P 177,950
P28,500
 Intensive Care Division = 0.06% Return on Assets
P 475,000

With this result, the company management should not to continue with the decision of giving
award to Intensive Care Division by just relying on its high operating profit. Why? Because if
you are to calculate and analyze the three division, Splint division deserve to be awarded since
this particular division has a higher Return on Asset compare to the Intensive Care unit and
Booboo Division. Which indicates that Splint Division utilized the company's assets effectively
and efficiently. Always remember that an increasing ROA suggests the profitability of the
company is increasing. On the other hand, a decreasing ROA can be an indication that the
company's performance is deteriorating.

2. Charlie's Construction Company is a growing construction business that has a few contracts
to build storefronts in Pasay. Charlie's balance sheet shows beginning assets of P1,000,000
and an ending balance of P2,000,000 of assets. During the current year, Charlie's company
had a net income of P20,000,000. Compute for the company's return on assets and interpret
the results.

P 20,000,000
= 13.333333333% is the Company’s Return on Assets
(P 1,000,000+ P2,000,000)/2

Charlie's Construction Company ratio is 13.333333333%. It means that for every peso that
Charlie invested in assets during the year produced 13.33333333% of net income. This indicates
a healthy return rate. Return on assets is a measure of how effectively a company uses its assets.
The higher is this figure, the better is the utilization of the company's assets. In Charlie's case we
can conclude that there is a proper utilization of the company's asset since its return on assets is
higher.

3. Dave’s Guitar Shop is thinking about building an addition onto the back of its existing
building for more storage. Dave consults with his banker about applying for a new loan. The
bank asks for Dave’s balance to examine his overall debt levels. The banker discovered that
Dave has a total asset of P5,000,000 and total liabilities of P25,000. Compute for Dave’s
Debt Ratio.
Total Liabilities
Debt Ratio =
Total Assets

P 25,000
= 0.005% is the Debt Ratio of Dave
P 5,000,000
