The exercise continues Exercise 9.5 in Chapter 9. The following financial statement were reported for a firm for fiscal year 2009 (in millions of dollars):

The firm's income tax rate is 35%. The firm reported $15 million in interest income and $98 million in interest expense for 2009. Sales revenue was $3,726 million.
a. Prepare a reformulated balance sheet and comprehensive income statement.
b. Calculate free cash flow for 2009.
c. Calculate the operating profit margin, asset turnover, and return on net operating assets for 2009. (For simplicity, use beginning-of-period balance sheet amounts in denominators.)
d. Calculate individual asset turnovers and show that they aggregate to the total asset turnover.
e. Show that the financing leverage equation holds for this firm:
ROCE = RNOA + (FLEV x Operating spread)
f. Calculate the after-tax net borrowing cost. If this borrowing cost were to be sustained in the future, what would the rate of return of common equity (ROCE) be if operating profitability (RNOA) fell to 6 % and financial leverage decreased to 0.8?
g. The implicit cost of credit for accounts payable and accrued liabilities is 3% (after tax). Show that the following leverage equation holds in this example:
RNOA = ROOA + [OLLEV x (ROOA -3.0%)]
