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鈥檚 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鈥檚 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鈥檚 convertible bonds is \)150,000, how would you adjust the analysis above to make valid comparisons between Ragatz and Merck?
