Intel (INTC) still manufactures its own semiconductors (chips) and has spent billions expanding capacity. INTC decided in 2016 to reorganize and focus more on mobile chips rather than desktop computers. Qualcomm (QCOM) and Maxim (MXIM) produce mobile communications chips. QCOM is fabless like AMD while MXIM manufactures its own semiconductors. This case enables students to simultaneously learn various financial statement analysis ratios and address the questions: 1) Was AMD's decision to go fabless a good one? 2) Was INTC's decision to focus on mobile a good one? The three aspects: 1. There is X. 2. X is to be understood. 3. X has been understood. The three aspects applied to financial statement analysis: What is the measure for X? Should X be higher or lower? Which company is best by metric X? Apply the three aspects to each of the following: 1. Ability to meet short-term obligations 2. Time to receive payment after sale 3. How long invetory sits 4. How many times inventory is replaced per year 5. Ability to generate sales from fixed assets 6. Ability to generate sales from total assets 7. Indebtedness 8. Ability to repay long-term debt 9. Ability to repay short-term debt 10. Income per dollar of salesStep by Step Solution
