This company appears to report a (strong/ weak) financialposition.Why? Support your response with at least two observations.Answers will vary, but should include two of the following:•Total assets increased, indicating the company is expanding.•The gross amount ofproperty, plant, andequipment increased, indicating thecompany is updating assets on a regular basis.•The debt ratio decreased from 56.1% down to 40.4%, indicating a decrease infinancial risk.

EQUITYPurpose:•Identify the characteristics of debt and equity.•Assess financial risk.Corporations externally finance the purchase of assets with debt (liabilities) or equity (common stock).Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’EquityLarge amounts ofdebtare usually issued in the form of bonds. The borrowing corporation recordsabondpayable and is referred to as thedebtor,whilethe entity loaning the money records a bond receivableand is referred to as thecreditor. The debtor must pay back the amount borrowed plus interest to thecreditor. The interest paid by the borrowing corporation is an expense that reduces taxable income. Thereturn to creditors is the interest received. Creditors are not owners of the corporation and,therefore,have no ownership rights.Equityrefers to the issuance of stock, which may be common stock or preferred stock. Entities owningshares of stock are the owners of the corporation and are referred to asstockholdersor shareholders.Stockholders’primary ownership rights include a right to vote at annual meetings and a right to a portionof the profits (net income).Dividendsare the distribution of profits to stockholders. The corporate boardof directors decides whether to pay dividends or not and has no obligation to purchase the shares of stockback from the stockholders. If stockholders sell their shares of stock, they usually sell to another investorusing a stockbroker, who in turn executes the trade on a stock exchange such as the New York StockExchange or NASDAQ. Stockholders earn a return on their investment by receiving dividends or selling thestock for a greater amount than the purchase price.The balance sheet helps investors, both creditors and stockholders, assess the degree of financial risk acorporation is assuming. In general, the more a corporation relies on debt to finance assets, the greaterthe financial risk of the corporation.($ in millions)Google (GOOG)12/31/2011GeneralMills(GIS)5/29/2011Assets$72,574$18,675Liabilities$14,429$12,309Stockholders’equity$58,145$6,366Debt ratio19.88%65.91%Q1Compute the values for (B) and (Y) in the above chart.

It is a measure of short-term liquidity. A higher ratio indicates a stronger abilityto pay current debts.Current Ratio=Current assetsCurrent liabilitiesTheDebt Ratiomeasures the proportion of assets financed by debt by comparing totalliabilities to totalassets. It is a measure of long-term solvency. A higher ratio indicates greater financial risk.Debt Ratio=Total liabilitiesTotal assetsFor the year 2010IndustryAverage forRestaurantsDineEquity(DIN)DardenRestaurants(DRI)Nathan’sFamous(NATH)Current Ratio1.11.320.546.12Debt Ratio52%97%64%17%Debt-to-Equity Ratio*1.1033.171.770.20Use the chart above to answer the following questions. Stock symbols are shown in parentheses.Q1Of theabove three restaurant chains, which is your favorite? (DIN/DRI/NATH)Allresponses arecorrect.•DINoperates Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Barand IHOP.•DRIoperates Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Bahama Breeze, and Smokey Bones Barbeque and Grill.•NATHoperatesNathan’s Famous.Q2(DIN/ DRI /NATH)have sufficient current assets to pay off current liabilities and,therefore, havea current ratio(greater/ less) than1.0.A current ratio that is (lower/ higher) than the industryaverage may indicate a lack of short-term liquidity, which includes (DIN/DRI/NATH). Does thisindicate that thiscorporationisinsolvent or unable to payitsbills? (Yes /No)Explain.Not necessarily.By definition, current liabilities become due within one year,andtherefore,do not all have to be paid at this time.However, they do need to be paidwhen due. Comparing a company ratio to the industry average gives a sense of how thiscompanyrankswhencomparedtootherrestaurants.Ifacompany’sratioissignificantly below the industry average, this is a warning sign and may warrant furtherinvestigation.Q3(DIN/DRI/NATH) are relying more on debt to finance assets and have a debt ratio (greater/less) than50%.Darden Restaurants is financing64%of assets with debt. For a company wanting tobe lower risk and less dependent on debt, a(n) (increasing /decreasing) trend in the debt ratio isconsidered favorable. A company that has higher financial risk will, in general, be required to pay(higher/ lower) interest rates when borrowing money.

If the principalor interest cannot be repaid, then a company can be forcedinto bankruptcy and creditors may not get fully repaid.Therefore, creditors are atfinancial risk of not receiving the full amount due to them. As the amount of companydebt increases, so does the financial risk of not being able to payback that debt plusinterest when due.Q5Does a high debt ratio indicate a weak corporation? (Yes /No)Explainyour answer.The answer is no, not necessarily.Even though DineEquity has a higher debt ratio, itmaynot be considered a weak corporation.Companies use different strategies tofinance assets. Companies within a stable industry have the ability to use more debtthan companies within a volatile industry.Companies with alarge investment in PPEcan use that PPE as collateral for debt financing.Also, some corporations make thedecision to accept higher financial risk.*Instead of reporting the Debt Ratio, somefinancial sources report the Debt-to-Equity ratio, computed as liabilitiesdivided by stockholders’ equity.To convert:Debt ratio =[Debt-to-equity ratio/(1 +Debt-to-equityratio)]ForDineEquity0.97=33.17/34.17
