Financial Statement Analysis Case

Ragatz, Inc.

Ragatz, Inc., a drug company, reported the following information. The company prepares its financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

2017 (000)

Current liabilities

\(554,114

Convertible subordinated debts

648,020

Total liabilities

1,228,313

Stockholder’s equity

176,413

Net income

58,333

Analysts attempting to compare Ragatz to drug companies that issue debt with detachable warrants may face a challenge due to differences in accounting for convertible debt.

Instructions

(a) Compute the following ratios for Ragatz, Inc. (Assume that year-end balances approximate annual averages.)

(1) Return on assets.

(2) Return on common stock equity.

(3) Debt to assets ratio.

(b) Briefly discuss the operating performance and financial position of Ragatz. Industry averages for these ratios in 2017 were ROA 3.5%; return on equity 16%; and debt to assets 75%. Based on this analysis, would you make an investment in the company’s 5% convertible bonds? Explain.

(c) Assume you want to compare Ragatz to an IFRS company like Merck (which issues nonconvertible debt with detachable warrants). Assuming that the fair value of the equity component of Ragatz’s convertible bonds is \)150,000, how would you adjust the analysis above to make valid comparisons between Ragatz and Merck?

On January 1, 2017 (the date of grant), Lutz Corporation issues 2,000 shares of restricted stock to its executives. The fair value of these shares is \(75,000, and their par value is \)10,000. The stock is forfeited if the executives do not complete 3 years of employment with the company. Prepare the journal entry (if any) on January 1, 2017, and on December 31, 2017, assuming the service period is 3 years.

What date or event does the profession believe should be used in determining the value of a stock option? What arguments support this position?

Kalin Corporation had 2017 net income of \(1,000,000. During 2017, Kalin paid a dividend of \)2 per share on 100,000 shares of preferred stock. During 2017, Kalin had outstanding 250,000 shares of common stock.Compute Kalin’s 2017 earnings per share.
