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?

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Financial Ratios

The comparison made for financial analysis between the various items reported on the financial statement is known as financial ratios. These ratios are used for making a summarized report on the company’s performance.

02

Calculation of ratios

(1) Return on assets

Returnonassets=NetIncomeTotalAssets×100=$58,333$176,413+$1,228,313×100=$58,333$1,404,726×100=4.15%

(2) Return on common stock equity

Returnonequity=NetIncomeStockholdersequity×100=$58,333$176,413×100=33.06%

(3) Debt to assets ratio

Debttoassetsratio=°Õ´Ç³Ù²¹±ô D±ð²ú³Ù²õ°Õ´Ç³Ù²¹±ô‼î²õ²õ±ð³Ù²õ=$1,228,313$176,413+$1,228,313×100=$1,228,313$1,404,726×100=87.44%

03

Operating performance of the company

  1. According to the industry average return on assets, the business entity is performing well because the actual ratio of the business entity is more than the industry average.

2.The industry average return on common stock equity is 16%, and the actual return on the common stock company is generating equals 33.06%. It means that the company generates more profit for stockholders than industry averages.

3.The company's debt to asset ratio is 87.44%, which is more than the industry average of 75%, which means that the company is not in a good financial position as most of its assets are financed through debt.

Even if the company is performing well, the debt to the asset is very high, reflecting that investing in the company’s bonds is riskier. But the investors might be attracted to the convertible bonds because the return on equity is higher than might increase the price of the shares, and investors can generate gain from such an increase in the prices.

04

Adjustments in the financial ratios

Under IFRS, the convertible bonds' equity and debt components of the convertible bonds are recorded separately. While under GAAP, these are not reported separately; therefore, the equity component of convertible bonds will be reported separately, which will affect the ratios.

CA16-6 WRITING (EPS, Antidilution) Brad Dolan, a stockholder of Rhode Corporation, has asked you, the firm’s accountant, to explain why his stock warrants were not included in diluted EPS. In order to explain this situation, you must briefly explain what dilutive securities are, why they are included in the EPS calculation, and why some securities are antidilutive and thus not included in this calculation.

Rhode Corporation earned \(228,000 during the period, when it had an average of 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding. The common stock sold at an average market price of \)25 per share during the period. Also outstanding were 30,000 warrants that could be exercised to purchase one share of common stock at $30 per warrant.

Instructions

Write Mr. Dolan a 1–1.5-page letter explaining why the warrants are not included in the calculation.

Explain how the conversion feature of convertible debt has a value (a) to the issuer and (b) to the purchaser.

Question: (Conversion of Bonds) On January 1, 2017, Gottlieb Corporation issued \(4,000,000 of 10-year, 8% convertible debentures at 102. Interest is to be paid semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. Each \)1,000 debenture can be converted into eight shares of Gottlieb Corporation \(100 par value common stock after December 31, 2018. On January 1, 2019, \)400,000 of debentures are converted into common stock, which is then selling at \(110. An additional \)400,000 of debentures are converted on March 31, 2019. The market price of the common stock is then $115. Accrued interest at March 31 will be paid on the next interest date. Bond premium is amortized on a straight-line basis.

Make the necessary journal entries for:

(a) December 31, 2018. (c) March 31, 2019.

(b) January 1, 2019. (d) June 30, 2019.

Record the conversions using the book value method

(Issuance and Conversion of Bonds) For each of the unrelated transactions described below, present the entry(ies) required to record each transaction.

1. Grand Corp. issued \(20,000,000 par value 10% convertible bonds at 99. If the bonds had not been convertible, the company’s investment banker estimates they would have been sold at 95.

2. Hoosier Company issued \)20,000,000 par value 10% bonds at 98. One detachable stock purchase warrant was issued with each \(100 par value bond. At the time of issuance, the warrants were selling for \)4.

3. Suppose Sepracor, Inc. called its convertible debt in 2017. Assume the following related to the transaction. The 11%, \(10,000,000 par value bonds were converted into 1,000,000 shares of \)1 par value common stock on July 1, 2017. On July 1, there was \(55,000 of unamortized discount applicable to the bonds, and the company paid an additional \)75,000 to the bondholders to induce conversion of all the bonds. The company records the conversion using the book value method.

Angela Corporation issues 2,000 convertible bonds at January 1, 2016. The bonds have a 3-year life, and are issued at par with a face value of \(1,000 per bond, giving total proceeds of \)2,000,000. Interest is payable annually at 6%. Each bond is convertible into 250 ordinary shares (par value of $1). When the bonds are issued, the market rate of interest for similar debt without the conversion option is 8%.

Instructions

(a) Compute the liability and equity component of the convertible bond on January 1, 2016.

(b) Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the convertible bond on January 1, 2016.

(c) Prepare the journal entry to record the repurchase of the convertible bond for cash at January 1, 2019, its maturity date.
