Page 27 of 31
Class Notes for Corporate Finance, 2nd Edition - Page 27 preview image16Answer: Varies.Time on task:This exercise can take between 10 and 20 minutes depending on how long it takesto find and summarize the findings.Teaching Notes:This activity is a current example of the types of information you can gleanfrom an income statement. In addition, it provides an opportunity to discuss how some firmscontinue to perform well even during poor economic conditions.CLASS APPLICATION ACTIVITIES 2.2Benchmarking and Peer ComparisonLO2–Explain the Goals of Financial Statement AnalysisBenchmarking is the process of comparing some aspect of firm performance with industry peersthat are performing at a high level. A financial ratio may not provide much information inisolation but when compared with other firms in the same industry, it allows a financial managerto see whether they are performing at an average, below average, or above average level. Thiscomparison can then be used to focus attention only on areas in need of improvement. Sowhere do you find peer data? RMA’s annual statement studies are one sourceof peerinformation.Go to the following website:http://www.rmahq.org/tools-publications/publications/annual-statement-studies/annual-statement-studiesNow open the PDF file entitled “Sample Financial Ratio Benchmarks” and look over this sampledata.Next open the PDF file entitled “Financial Ratio Benchmarks: Definition of Ratios.” Use theinformation in these two files to answer the following questions.Questions to pose:1.Which liquidity ratios are available for comparison?Answer: Both the current ratio and the quick ratio are reported.2.Why does RMA report three different current ratios for each size firm?Answer: The top ratio is the cutoff for the upper quartile of firms where 25% of the firms haveratios higher than that reported number. The middle ratio is the median current ratio, whichmeans 50% of the firms have current ratios higher than this number and 50% have currentratios lower than this number. The bottom number is the cutoff for the lower quartile where25% of the firms have ratios lower than this reported number.Time on task:This exercise can take between 15 and 30 minutes depending on how long it takesto find and summarize the findings.Teaching Notes:This activity is a current example how ratios can be used for peer groupcomparison and benchmarking. You can spend more time on this exercise and look at more

Class Notes for Corporate Finance, 2nd Edition - Page 28 preview image17financial data and also have a discussion about the importance of selecting the appropriatepeers for your firm.CLASS APPLICATION ACTIVITIES 2.3Altman’s Z-ScoreLO3–Perform Financial Statement AnalysisEdward Altman published the following seminal paper in finance on predicting firm bankruptcy:"Financial Ratios, Discriminant Analysis, and the Prediction of Corporate Bankruptcy."Journal ofFinance: 189–209 (September 1968).In the paper, Altman used a statistical method known as discriminant analysis to calculate asingle score, known as a Z-score, that was useful in predicting whether a firm was in danger offiling bankruptcy. Altman used publicly available information and calculated several ratios fromthe financial data that were good predictors of bankruptcy. Spend some time looking upinformation on Altman’s paper, or find a copy of Altman’s paper, and then answer the followingquestions.Questions to pose:1.What specific ratios did Altman include in his bankruptcy prediction model? Why do youthink these ratios provide information about bankruptcy?Answer: Ratio 1 = Working Capital / Total Assets. This ratio is a good measure of liquidity,which tells us whether a firm has enough liquid assets to pay its debt.Ratio 2 = Retained Earnings / Total Assets. This ratio is a measure of profitability over timerelative to a firm’s size.Ratio 3 = Earnings Before Interest and Taxes / Total Assets. This ratio tells us whether the firm isgenerating profits from current operations.Ratio 4 = Market Value of Equity / Book Value of Total Liabilities. This ratio gives some indicationof investor awareness of high debt levels. Investors concerned that a firm’s debt is too high willsell shares and push the stock price down.Ratio 5 = Sales/ Total Assets. (Total asset turnover). This asset utilization ratio tells us how wellthe firm is doing generating sales with the current level of assets.These ratios all provide indications of profitability, cash flows, leverage, and a firm’s ability toservice debt. Because firms file bankruptcy when cash flows are not sufficient to meet currentobligations, these ratios are a good indicator of financial problems over time.Time on task:This exercise can take between 25 and 40 minutes depending on how long it takesto find and summarize the findings.Teaching Notes:This activity is a good example of how ratio analysis can provide external userswith important information about the overall health of a firm. Note that most of these ratios arenot the ones covered in the text. This illustrates how financial ratios can be created that focus
Page 29 of 31
Class Notes for Corporate Finance, 2nd Edition - Page 29 preview image18on specific components of a firm where either an internal user or external user may beinterested in learning more information.CLASS APPLICATION ACTIVITIES 2.4Ratio Analysis in PracticeLO3–Perform Financial Statement AnalysisRatio analysis can provide both internal and external users with a tremendous amount ofinformation about firm performance. Select a publicly traded firm in the manufacturing sectorand have the students conduct a ratio analysis of this firm and report their findings.Questions to pose:1.Does the firm have any problem areas that you would investigate further if you were amanager?Answer: Varies depending on the firm selected.2.Are there any other specific pieces of information that you would request from yourmanagement team with regards to this firm? If so, why?Answer: Varies depending on the firm selected.3.Would you invest money in this firm based on your analysis?Answer: Varies depending on the firm selected.Time on task:This exercise can take between 45 and 60 minutes depending on how long it takesto find and summarize the findings. Often the interpretation can take more time.Teaching Notes:This activity gives the students the ability to practice ratio analysis. This activityis also a very good team project. Team members can split the analysis into ratio groups and eachmember do a ratio group (liquidity ratios, profitability ratios, etc.) and then have a discussion oftheir findings. Short group presentations can then be given that enable other students toprovide input on interpretation. This gives the instructor opportunity to show why a ratio canoften be interpreted as “good” or “bad” and often we need additional informationto make amore informed decision.VI.
