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 ₱24,950 and on average used
assets with a book value of ₱311,900. The Splint Division had an operating profit of ₱17,500 and
used average assets of ₱177,950. The Intensive Care Division had an operating profit of ₱28,500
and average assets of ₱475,000. 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.

I disagree with the International Heal Medical Company for three reasons. To begin, if the company
is to be based on the operational profits of these three divisions, they must utilize the profit margin,
also known as the return on sales ratio, to determine which firm produces the most profit in a year.
Second, I propose that the corporation examine the stockholders' ratio. They may check which
divisions provide the best benefits for the company. Finally, given the statements include aspects of
return on assets (ROA), I believe they should be used. Return on assets, or ROA, is another
example of a metric that shows how successful a firm may be in the long term. If you are able to
utilize the ROA. If the company use the ROA you can see that the Splint Division has the highest
ROA percentage which is 9.83% while the Intensive Care Division only got 6% and the Booboo
Division got 8.8%. In this case the higher the ratio the better.

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 ₱1,000,000
and an ending balance of ₱2,000,000 of assets. During the current year, Charlie’s company
had a net income of ₱20,000,000. Compute for the company’s return on assets and interpret
the results.

The formula in the return on assets was income divided by average assets. To compute the return
on assets of Charlie’s Construction Company we should add the beginning assets and ending
assets then divide it into 2 to get the average asset.

It was shown on the result that the return on assets of Charlie’s Construction Company has more
that a 100 percent. It means that the company utilize well the company assets. The company can
also compare their ROA into similar companies. But ROA can’t be use on investors and creditors
because didn’t show the feasibility of the company to pay the debt unless the company has no debt
the ROA results will be equal to ROE.
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 discovers that Dave has
total assets of ₱5,000,000 and total liabilities of ₱25,000. Compute for Dave’s debt ratio.

To get the debt ratio of the company it muse divide the liabilities to the assets.

The results of the Dave’s Guitar Shop debt ratio is 0.5%. It means that the Dave’s Guitar Shop can
pay the loan at ease. The lower the percentage of the company’s debt ratio A debt ratio of greater
than 1.0 or 100% means a company has more debt than assets while a debt ratio of less than 100%
indicates that a company has more assets than debt.
