1.

The management of International Heal Medical Company is evaluating the performance of its
three (3) divisions. The Booboo Division had operating profit of ₱24,950 and on average used
assets with a book value of ₱311,900. The Splint Division had an operating profit of ₱17,500 and
used average assets of
₱177,950. The Intensive Care Division had an operating profit of ₱28,500 and average assets of
₱475,000. The company is planning to award the Intensive Care Division relying on its high
operating profit. Should the management continue with this decision? Justify your answer.

The Splint Division is doing highest with a ROI of 9%. ROI is a good place to equate divisions of
varying sizes. We measure ROI as operating profit separated by average assets.

499/6,238 = 8% ROI for the Booboo Division.


350/3,889 = 9% ROI for the Splint Division.
570/9,500 = 6% ROI for the Intensive Care Division.

2. Charlie’s Construction Company is a growing construction business that has a few contracts to
build storefronts in Pasay. Charlie’s balance sheet shows beginning assets of ₱1,000,000 and an
ending balance of ₱2,000,000 of assets. During the current year, Charlie’s company had a net
income of
₱20,000,000. Compute for the company’s return on assets and interpret the results.

Return on Assets Ratio

20,000,000
1,333.3% =
(1,000,000+2,000,000)/2

As we can see, the ratio for Charlie is 1,333.3 percent. Every dollar Charlie invested in the year's
assets produced P 13.3 net profits. This will be a reasonable return rate, regardless of what the
expenditure is. To consider how effectively Charlie handles his money, investors will have to
equate Charlie's return with his company's other construction firms.

3. Dave’s Guitar Shop is thinking about building an addition onto the back of its existing building
for more storage. Dave consults with his banker about applying for a new loan. The bank asks
for Dave’s balance to examine his overall debt levels. Compute for Dave’s debt ratio.

100,000
25,000
= 0.25

Dave has a debt ratio of just 0,25. In other words, he has four times the amount of money that
Dave has. This is a very low ratio, meaning that his loan will be paid back by Dave. The
acceptance of his loan should not be a problem for Dave.
