Question 1. Brandywine Homecare, a not-for-profit business, had revenues of $12 million in 2011. Expenses other than depreciation totaled 75 percent of revenues, and depreciation expense was $1.5 million. All revenues were collected in cash during the year and all expenses other than depreciation were paid in cash.
a. Construct Brandywine's 2011 income statement.
b. What were Brandywine's net income, total profit margin, and cash flow?
c. Now, suppose the company changed its depreciation calculation procedures (still within GAAP) such that its depreciation expense doubled. How would this change affect Brandywine's net income, total profit margin, and cash flow?
d. Suppose the change had halved, rather than doubled, the firm's depreciation expense. Now, what would be the impact on net income, total profit margin, and cash flow?

a. Perform a Du Pont analysis on BestCare. Assume that the industry average ratios are as follows:
Total margin 3.8%
Total asset turnover 2.1
Equity multiplier 3.2
Return on equity (ROE) 25.5%
a. Perform a Du Pont analysis on BestCare. Assume that the industry average ratios are as follows:
Total margin 3.8%
Total asset turnover 2.1
Equity multiplier 3.2
Return on equity (ROE) 25.5%
ROE = Profit Margin (Profit/Sales) * Total Asset Turnover (Sales/Assets) * Equity Multiplier (Assets/Equity)
(1218/28613)*(28613/9869)*(9869/2118) = .575
4.2% X 2.89 X 4.85
The facility is doing better than the industry average. This is driven basically by the equity multiplier and asset turnover, although all of the ratios are higher than the stated averages.
b. Calculate and interpret the following ratios for BestCare:
Industry Average
Return on assets (ROA) 8.0%
Current ratio 1.3
Days cash on hand 41 day
Average collection period 7 days
Debt ratio 69%
Debt-to-equity ratio 2.2
Times interest earned (TIE) ratio 2.8
Fixed asset turnover ratio 5.2
ROA = 1218/9869 = 12.3%
Current Ratio = 3947/3456 = 1.14
The organization is a little less liquid than its competitors, but not too much where the company should be concerned. However, the company should ensure that they don't generate too much more short term debts.
Days Cash on Hand = 2737/(27395/365) = 36.46
The organization has a little less cash on hand than its competitors. Cutting costs or increasing cash reserves would bring the company back in line with industry averages.
Debt to Equity = 4295/ 2118 = 2.03
This organization has a lot more debt than its competitors. This is very dangerous. The company needs to pay down some of their long term debt. They would be seen as risky to investors or a bank.
**only long term debt was considered.
For total liabilities/equity, it would be 7751/2118 or 3.66
TIE = 2118/385 = 5.5
The organization has strong earnings, or lower than average interest rates.
Fixed Asset TO = 28613/5924 = 4.83
This is close enough to the industrial average that there is no need to be concerned. However, the ratio tells us how well the company is using their fixed assets to generate revenue.
