2a. For both companies compute the (a)
profit margin ratio, (b) total asset turnover,
(c) return on total assets, and (d) return on
common stockholders’ equity. Assuming that share and each company’s
stock can be purchased at $80 per share, compute their (e)
price-earnings ratios and (f) dividend yields. (Do
not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2
decimal places.)
2b. Identify which company’s stock you would
recommend as the better investment.
(1)
profit margin ratio = net income/sales
for Barco company,
= $182123/$800000
= 22.77%
for Kyan company,
= $243130/$926200
= 26.25%
(2)
total assets turnover = sales/average total assets
for Barco company,
= $800000/{($447540 + $388000)/2}
= 1.91 times
For Kyan company,
= $926200/{($547200 + $372500)/2}
= 2.01 times
(3)
return on total assets = earning before interest & taxes/average total assets
for Barco company,
= ($800000 - $594100)/{($447540 + $388000)/2}
= 49.29%
for Kyan company,
= ($926200 - $642500)/{($547200 + $372500)/2}
= 61.69%
(4)
Return on common stockholders equity = (net income - preferred dividends)/average common stockholders equity
Common stockholders equity = common stock + retained earnings
for Barco company,
Average common stockholders equity = {($210000 + $97400) + ($210000 + $73197)}/2 = $295298.50
Therefore,
Return on common stockholders equity = ($182123 - 0)/$295298.50
= 61.67%
for Kyan company,
Average common stockholders equity = {($196000 + $142900) + ($196000 + $54218)}/2 = $294559
Therefore,
Return on common stockholders equity = ($243130 - 0)/$294559
= 82.54%
