Compute net operating profit after tax (NOPAT) for the EMi investees. Round to the nearest whole number. $0 * million b. Compute net operating assets (NOA) and net nonoperating obligations (NNO) for the EMI investees. NOAS O * million Ox $ NNOS O x million C. Following the process in Analyst Adjustments box 9.1, reformulate the following ratios for Cummins for 2018. For simplicity only, use year-end balance sheet numbers provided instead of averages. First, compute the adjusted balances. (Use a negative sign with adjustment answer if it reduces the unadjusted amount.) Income Statement Cummins Adjustment Adjusted Balances Revenue $ Ox $ OX NOPAT: Subtract share of EMI earnings OX OX OX Add EMI NOPAT D OX 0 Net nonoperating expense OX OX OX Net income OX *Note: For "Add EMI NOPAT" row, only enter an answer under the Adjustment column (EMI NOPAT). Leave Cummins and Adjusted Balances answers blank (use row above to enter Cummins' NOPAT and Adjusted NOPAT balance). Next, compute the following ratios: 1. using Cummins figures (unadjusted) and 2 using the adjusted balances as computed above. Round RNOA, NOPM, and ROE to one decimal place (ex: 0.2345 -23.5%) - Round NOAT and FLEV to two decimal places. Hint: Adjusted Net income is $2,452 million. x RNOA NOPM ROE NOAT FLEV Unadjusted Adjusted 0% x 0 x 0% x % x of x OX OX Ox OX d. In your opinion, does the equity method of accounting for these investments obscure the economic picture? Explain. Ratios after reformulation are slightly different. The equity method of accounting understates some important ratios and obscures the level of leverage but effect here appears to be small. Ratios after reformulation are slightly different.
