    This requirement makes it important to look through a majority of the return ratios, which include return on sales, return on assets, and return on equity. Additionally, investors are also interested in the ratios related to the company’s earnings, such as earnings per share (EPS) and PE ratio.

Moreover, Wendys’ return on assets is 2.85% and Bob Evans is 1.58%. Also, Wendy’s and Bob Evan 's have return on equity ratios of 6.66% and 4.30%, respectively. All of these return ratios show that Wendy’s has a better handle on turning working capital into revenue. On the other hand, although Wendy’s return ratios are higher than Bob Evans, Bob Evans has a better performance on earnings per share and PE ratio. This is due to Bob Evans having less common stock share outstanding, which makes their earnings per share and PE ratio higher than Wendy’s. Due to the EPS being higher for Bob Evans, we would recommend that investors look towards Bob

    The Dupont analysis includes the asset turnover ratio, the profit margin percantage, return on shareholder’s equity percentage, return on assets, and the equity multiplier (Spiceland, Sepe, and Nelson 258-264). The asset turnover ratio is the amount of revenue received for every one dollar of assets, it reveals how efficiently the company is distributing assets. Apple’s asset turnover ratio is 60.43 which means for every one dollar Apple has in assets, they receive approximately sixty cents (Apple Inc). Microsoft’s asset turnover ratio is 13.17 so for every dollar they only receive about thirteen cents (Microsoft Inc). Apple is doing significantly better in this category. The profit margin is just how much of a company’s sales they keep as a profit. Apple’s profit margin is 21.67% while Microsoft has a 28% profit margin so Microsoft is accumulating more profit off each sale but their sales are lower. The return on shar...

    In 2012 Dunkin donuts had roughly $658.2 million in sales from all of its brands combined (Bloomberg, 2016). In 2016, the company now boasts $817.0 million in sales total (Bloomberg, 2016). We expect sales to be about $300,000 at first just from our one Melbourn location. To project this sales number, we used Bloomberg to explore Dunkin’ Donuts stocks, sales, and profits internationally, and just in America from 2012 to 2016. We then divided the total sales by the total number of stores worldwide. We used this average to predict an average yearly sales number for a Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant. The typical Dunkin’ Donuts shop runs a bit more in profit each year, however as a start up in a new country we are taking into consideration the that we may not rake in sales as quickly, therefore we reduced the average sales by a fraction . We would expect sales to double over the next five years as we add locations and increase our customer base across the

  • Case Study: Keurig Green Mountain

    865 Words  | 2 Pages

    Our primary argument is simple, the cost of internal funds and the demand for external financing vary because of possible investment costs and the external financing costs. The effect and relationship of these two factors are paramount in making an educated decision. Keurig Green Mountain would be prudent to consider the debt-to-equity ratio, total long-term liability ratio, and cash flow to determine if they can service an expansion. According to Almeida & Campello (2008) Keurig Green Mountain needs to explore three specific areas to determine the best route: The opportunity costs, constraints of current investments on credit, and the high costs that may exist for external financing. Figures 6 through 8 show the different options for Keurig Green Mountain whether they issue a bond, commercial paper, or via a traditional loan. JAB Holding Company recently purchased Keurig Green Mountain, and this places them in a stronger position to consider a merger or acquisition themselves. J.M. Smucker is slightly larger, and they own distribution rights to Dunkin Donuts, Folgers, and Millstone. A merger could present a promising opportunity to gain market share, but would be a different strategy for expanding operations and would have a different

  • What Is Starbucks Ratio Analysis

    1055 Words  | 3 Pages

    Starbucks’ solvency ratios provide valuable insight into whether the company is generating sufficient cash flow to meet short-term and long-term obligations. At the end of 2014, Starbucks current assets of $4169 million and current liabilities of $3039 million produced a current ratio of 1.37. During this same period, Starbucks had quick assets of $2474 million (cash of $1708 million + short-term investments of $135 million + accounts receivable of $631 million) with current liabilities of $3039 million resulting in a quick ratio of 0.81. These ratios imply that Starbucks was reasonably liquid at the end of 2014 with $1.37 in current assets and $0.81 in quick assets for every $1 in current liabilities. In 2013, Starbucks had a current ratio of 1.02 and a quick ratio of 0.71 and the previous year the company’s current ratio was 1.90 with a quick ratio of 1.14.

    The term liquidity refers to the ability of a firm to pay its short term obligations as and when they become due. As asset is considered liquid if it can be converted into cash without loss of time or value. Cash is the most liquid asset. Other assets which are considered to be relatively liquid and included in the quick assets are accounts receivable (i.e., debtors and bills receivable), short-term investments,Stock or Inventory excluded because it is not easily and readily convertible into cash. Similarly, prepaid expenses, which cannot be converted into cash and be available to pay off current liabilities, should also exclude from liquid assets.

Usually, as a firm’s WACC rises, its rate of return on equity and beta also increases as an indication of a shrinkage in appraisal and a greater risk (Pandey, 2015). The weighted average sheds light on the amount of interest the establishment has to pay for every financed dollar. This calculation uses the following figures: (1) tax rate of 40%; (2) Cost of Debt before taxation of 3.85%; (3) Cost of Equity of 7.69%; Debt or total liabilities for 2015 of $6.626 billion; (4) Stock Price of $6.58; (5) Outstanding Shares of 1.4991 billion.
