In addition to the problem statement set forth in the textbook, you will need the 2014 income statement and balance sheets for General Mills (GM): GeneralMillsFinancials2014.xlsx Required: . What if General Mills had consolidated its share in its investments that are currently accounted for under the equity method? (In other words, it had combined its share of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of these investments with the amounts already reported in its financial statements.) Show how how the following financial statement ratios for GM in 2014 would change: . Profit margin (net income divided by sales); - Return on assets (net income divided by total assets as of the end of the fiscal year); . Total liabilities divided by total assets; - Total liabilities divided by shareholders equity. . Consider, and be prepared to discuss the pros and cons of two alternatives to the equity method which are not permitted under GAAP, but have been at one time or another been considered as alternatives: . Full consolidation of the investments; - Consolidation of GM's proportionate share of the investments. In its May 25, 2014 balance sheet, General Mills reports a $1,146 million "Other assets" account, of which $506 million are equity method investments in joint ventures. (Note that General Mills' fiscal year end is the last Sunday in May [i.e., the exact date is variable and the fiscal year can be either 52 or 53 weeks in length]. Fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 each consisted of 52 weeks.)
