Question

1. Comparative Analysis (horizontal) and Common-size Analysis (vertical) AND Financial Ratio Analysis. The following condensed income statement and balance sheet are for CISCO Corporation, a large network company (dollars in thousands).

CISCO

2012 Annual Report

Consolidated Income Statement

CISCO

2012 Annual Report

Consolidated Balance Sheet

Total Assets

a. Prepare a comparative analysis (horiztonal) and a common-size analysis (vertical) of the income statement and balance sheet statement from 2012 and 2011. (Round computations to at least one decimal place.)

b. Compute the following ratios (round computations to at least one decimal place) for 2012 and 2011, and write at least ONE sentence – did the ratio improve (get worse) and why?

Show computations:

(1) Current ratio

(2) Working capital

(3) Receivables turnover ratio (AVERAGE receivables in '11 = $3,000)

(4) Inventory turnover ratio (AVERAGE inventory in '11 = $1,200)

(5) Gross margin ratio

(6) Profit margin ratio

(7) Debt to assets ratio

(8) Earning per Share (weighted average shares outstanding totaled 6,500 shares in '12 and 6,200 shares in '11).

(9) P/E ratio (Stock price in '12 – $22, '11 – $18)

(10) Return on assets (AVERAGE assets 2011 = $35,000)

Finally, would you invest in this company based on the above ratios, use some substance as to why it makes sense to invest? Why did ratios improve or weaken?
