Compute Return on Stockholders' Equity
1. Referring to Exhibit 1, compute the annual percentage change in net income per common share-diluted for 1998–1999, 1999–2000, and 2000–2001.
(Year 1998) 3,180 x .24 = 763.20
763.20-1,017.42/763.20=.33 or 33% increase
(Year 1999) 3,282 x .31 = 1,017.42 Year 1998–1999 = 33% increase
1,017.42-1,858.45/1,017.42=.82 or 82% increase
(Year 2000) 3,379 x .55 = 1,858.45 Year 1999–2000 = 82% increase
1,858.45- 922.59/1,858.45= -.50 or 50% decrease
(Year 2001) 3,417 x .27 = 922.59 Year 2000–2001 = 50% decrease
The amount of shares has increased every year over the past 4 years. The net income per common share-diluted was increasing steadily ever year until 2001 where we saw a drop in income but a raise in revenue.
2. Compute net income/net revenue (sales) for each of the four years. Begin with 1998.
(Year 1998) 755/9,862 = .076 or 7% (Year 1999) 1,030/11,806 = .087 or 8%
(Year 2000) 1,854/15,721 = .118 or 11% (Year 2001) 927/18,250 = .051 or 5%
The net revenue has increased every year over the past 4 years. The net income/net revenue was increasing steadily ever year until 2001 where we saw a drop in income but a raise in revenue.
3. What is the major reason for the change in the answer for question 2 between 2000 and 2001? To answer this question for each of the two years, take the ratio of the major income statement accounts to net revenues (sales).
Year 2000 Cost of sales 7,549/15,721 =.48 or 48% Research and development 1,630/15,721 = .10 or 10% Selling, general and administrative expense 4,072/15,721 =.26 or 26% Provision for income tax 917/15,721 =.06 or 6%
Year 2001 Cost of sales 10,041/18,250 =.55 or 55% Research and development 2,016/18,250 = .11 or 11% Selling, general and administrative expense 4,544/18,250 =.25 or 25% Provision for income tax 603/18,250 =.03 or 3% The difference between the net income/net revenue for years 2000 and 2001 is that the income was higher in 2000 yet the

    The Inflation rate changes every month and year, affecting the value of the money in the country. Inflation reflects a reduction in the purchasing power per unit of money, causing the price of goods and services to increase.

Her friend replied, "A partial answer to that question is to look at an income statement for June. I think I can find the data I need to prepare one for you." In addition to the data given in the case, her friend found a record of cash reciepts and disbursements, which is summarized in Exhibit 1. She also learned that all accounts payable were to vendors for purchase of merchandise inventory and that cost of sale was $39345 in June.…
