Reading 35: Financial Analysis Techniques LOS g习题精选

2010, interpret, increase, border
LOS g: Calculate and interpret the ratios used in equity analysis, credit analysis, and segment analysis.

Would an increase in net profit margin or in the firm’s dividend payout ratio increase a firm’s sustainable growth rate?

Net profit margin

 Dividend payout ratio

A)

Yes

No
B)

Yes

Yes
C)

No

No


The sustainable growth rate is equal to ROE multiplied by the retention rate. According to the Dupont formula, an increase in net profit margin will result in higher ROE. Thus, an increase in net profit margin will result in a higher growth rate. The retention rate is equal to 1 minus the dividend payout ratio. Thus, an increase in the dividend payout ratio will lower the retention rate and lower the growth rate.

An analysis of the industry reveals that firms have been paying out 45% of their earnings in dividends, asset turnover = 1.2; asset-to-equity (A/E) = 1.1 and profit margins are 8%. What is the industry’s projected growth rate?

A)
 4.55%.
B)
 5.81%.
C)
 4.95%.


ROE = profit margin × asset turnover × A/E = 0.08 × 1.2 × 1.1 = 0.1056
RR = (1 - 0.45) = 0.55
g = ROE × RR = 0.1056 × 0.55 = 0.0581

Statement #1 – As compared to the price-to-earnings ratio, the price-to-cash flow ratio is easier to manipulate because management can easily control the timing of the cash flows.

Statement #2 – One of the benefits of earnings per share as a valuation metric is that it facilitates the comparison of firms of different sizes.

With respect to these statements:

A)
 only one is correct.
B)
 both are incorrect.
C)
 both are correct.


Although manipulation of cash flow can occur, the P/E ratio is easier to manipulate because earnings are based on the numerous estimates and judgments of accrual accounting. EPS does not facilitate comparisons among firms. Two firms may have the same amount of earnings but the number of shares outstanding may differ significantly.
