Ratios:
Jaedan Industry
2006 2007 2006 2007
Liquidity Ratios
Current Ratio 2.65 3.47 2.89 3.26
Liquidity Ratios: Jaedan has improved its Current Ratio to above the industry in the current year. Its
Quick Ratio is also higher. Firms having good liquidity ratios usually invest in long term assets,
though
Activity Ratios: Jaedan’s Inventory Turnover was substantially higher than the Industry in 2006 but
it is now slightly lower than the industry average. This suggests that it is now keeping its inventory
for few days more each year and it is more in line with the industry at this point. One serious
problem for Jaedan is its Average Collection Period (ACP) has almost doubled. It is now substantially
above the 35 days that it allows its customer before payment is due and is considerably higher than
the industry average. Additionally, Jaedan is now taking longer to pay its suppliers as the Average
Payment Period has increased by approximately 4.5 days. Jaedan’s suppliers offer Jaedan 45 days to
pay its Accounts Payable—on average Jaedan is taking almost two weeks longer than that to pay (in
2006). This may have already resulted in a lower credit rating for the company. With respect to the
turnover ratios, Jaedan has experienced a reduction. This is due, in part to the fact that Fixed Assets
increased by almost $3,000,000 to handle the increase in sales.
Debt Ratios: Jaedan’s Debt Ratio has decreased significantly from 2006’s value; however, this is not
due to the fact that the firm has significantly reduced its debt, but rather to the fact that the firm’s
Total Assets are substantially higher. The firm’s Assets-to-Equity ratio has dropped a great deal,
because the firm has experienced a larger rate of growth in its Retained earnings than in its Total
Assets. Debt-to-equity has dropped substantially from 2006. Jaedan Industries is in a better position
with debt ratios than the industry.
Profitability Ratios: With respect to all three profit margins, Jaedan has improved in 2007 over
2006, as has the industry. Jaedan is consistently outperforming the industry in converting its sales
dollars to profit. The firm’s EPS has experienced a hefty increase, again due to the large increase in
Net Income. Return on total assets has decreased slightly because the increase in Net Income was
not as large as the increase in Total Assets. The same situation applies to Jaedan’s Return on
Common Equity. The opposite has occurred with the Industry.
Market Ratios: Jaedan’s P/E ratio and Market/Book ratio have dropped. This suggests that the
market is not willing to pay as high of a multiple over earnings or book value as they have been
willing to pay in the past. Jaedan is still higher than the industry with respect to the P/E ratio but it is
now lower than the industry with respect to Market/book value.
DuPont Analysis: DuPont analysis allows us the ability to isolate why the firm’s Return on Assets
(ROA) changed. In Jaedan’s case, ROA dropped from 36.29% to 35.13%. As you can see from the
calculations below, this is due to the lower Total Asset Turnover (TATO), as the firm’s Net Profit
Margin (NPM) actually increased.
DuPont analysis also lets us determine why the firm’s Return on Equity (ROE) changed. Jaedan’s ROE
dropped from 61.81% to 51.15%. This change was mainly due to the lower assets-to-equity ratio.
The firm’s maintenance of approximately the same level of debt to the absolute increase in equity in
a period of increasing profitability has resulted in lower ROE.
ROE = ROA x A/E
