a. Construct a DuPont Model for Company DEF
b. Construct a DuPont Model for Company GHI
c. Given the information in a and b above, is one firm more
profitable AND more efficient?
a)
For DEF Co,
Total Sales = $ 8000
net Income = $ 1000
Total assets = 40,000
Total Equity = 10,000
Using DuPont , Return on Equity (ROE) = Profitability * Asset turnover * Leverage
= (Net Income/Total Sales) * (Sales/ Total Assets) * (Assets/ Total Equity)
= (1000/8000) * (8000/40,000) * (40,000/10,000) = 0.125 * 0.2 * 4 = 10%
For GHI
Total Sales = $ 8000
net Income = $ 1333
Total assets = 30,000
Total Equity = 13,333
Using DuPont , Return on Equity (ROE) = Profitability * Asset turnover * Leverage
= (Net Income/Total Sales) * (Sales/ Total Assets) * (Assets/ Total Equity)
= (1,333/8000) *(8000/30,000) * (30,000/13,333)
= 0.167 * 0.267 * 2.25 = 9.997%
c)
From above Firm GHI is more profitable with 16.7% and efficient with 0.267 times against 12.5% and 0.2 times for DEF respectively.
