(a) Compute Lockheed Martin's current ratio and quick ratio for 2005 and 2004. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) 2005 current ratio = Answer
2004 current ratio = Answer 2005 quick ratio = Answer 2004 quick ratio = Answer
The current ratio has decreased while the quick ratio has increased in the period from 2004 to 2005, which suggests the company has a shortage of current assets.
(b) Compute total liabilities-to-equity ratios and total debt-to-equity ratios for 2005 and 2004. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) 2005 total liabilities-to-stockholders' equity = Answer 2004 total liabilities-to-stockholders' equity = Answer 2005 total debt-to-equity = Answer 2004 total debt-to-equity = Answer
(c) Compute times interest earned ratio, cash from operations to total debt ratio, and free operating cash flow to total debt ratios. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) 2005 times interest earned = Answer 2004 times interest earned = Answer 2005 cash from operations to total debt = Answer 2004 cash from operations to total debt = Answer 2005 free operating cash flow to total debt = Answer 2004 free operating cash flow to total debt = Answer 2.)
Adjusting for Off-Balance Sheet Liabilities Fitchs current analytical approach views operating leases as a debt-like form of funding and their analysts adjust core leverage and coverage ratios using a multiple to create a debt-equivalent for all companies that have not yet adopted the new lease standard. Fitch believes a standard 8 multiple is appropriate for assets with a long economic life, such as property leases. Specifically, Fitch multiplies the annual operating lease payments by 8 and adds that amount to debt prior to calculating ratios. In its 2018 annual report, Kohls reports the following amounts. Note: Kohls had not yet adopted the new lease standard.
$ millions | Feb. 2, 2019 | Feb. 3, 2018 |
---|---|---|
Liabilities | $6,734 | $7,731 |
Total debt | 3,394 | 4,379 |
Equity | 5,527 | 5,419 |
Cash from operations | 2,107 | 1,691 |
Operating lease payments (annual) | 292 | 284 |
Required a. Why would Fitch make this sort of adjustment prior to calculating credit-risk ratios? AnswerIn order to assess liquidity ratiosIn order to capture the true economic risk of the companyIn order to fully capture the effects of finance leasesIn order to fully capture true assets on the balance sheet b. Compute Liabilities to equity and Cash from operations to debt for both years using the numbers as reported by Kohls. Note: Round your answers to two decimal places (for example, enter 7.65 for 7.645555).
FY 2019 | FY 2018 | |
---|---|---|
Liabilities to equity | Answer | Answer |
Cash from operations to debt | Answer | Answer |
c. Adjust Kohls total liabilities and debt for the 8 multiple and recalculate both ratios. Note: Round your answers to two decimal places (for example, enter 7.65 for 7.645555).
FY 2019 | FY 2018 | |
---|---|---|
Liabilities to equity | Answer | Answer |
Cash from operations to debt | Answer | Answer |
Does the adjustment make a material difference for these ratios?
