Current ratio is a financial ratio to measure whether a company has enough resources to pay its
debt by comparing it current assets to its current liabilities over the next business cycle. It basically
answers this question ‘how many dollars in current assets does the company have to cover each $
of current liabilities. By observing the current ratio, we see that in 2014 Chevron had $1.32 of
assets for every $1 of debt; in 2016 it decreased to 0.93 and from 2017 it again started to increase
and in 2018 it became $1.25 which means they have $1.25 of assets for every $1 of debt. This
means the company is progressing in terms of their current ratio.
Current ratio from 2014 to 2018 of ExxonMobil are as follows: 0.8186, 0.7897, 0.8694, 0.8159
and 0.8396. Current ratio of ExxonMobil from 2014 to 2018, every year it is below 1 and less
than that of Chevron’s. So Chevron is doing better than ExxonMobil here also.

The quick ratio or acid ratio provides us a better scenario of a company’s ability to pay its current
liabilities. It provides us with a better picture on the coverage of short-term obligations. A healthy
acid test ratio is 1. After calculating 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 & 2018 quick ratio, Chevron has
always quick ratio which is less than 1. Quick ratio less than 1 means the company has more
current liabilities than assets, they cannot currently fully payback their pay back their current
liabilities. Though Chevron’s quick ratio is below 1, they are trying to do better than before because
their quick ratio is increasing and almost 1 in 2018.
ExxonMobil’s quick ratio from 2014 to 2018 are as follows: 0.505, 0.437, 0.457, 0.498, and
0.486. Though Chevron’s quick ratio from year 2014 to 2018 is below 1, they are doing better
than ExxonMobil. Because at least Chevron’s quick ratio is almost 1 and progressing every year.

Cash ratio is another form of liquidity ratio which gives us the ultimate position of a company. It
takes only the cash & cash equivalents. There are the most liquid assets within the current Assets.
If a company has a cash ratio more than 1, it’s more likely to be able to pay its short-term liabilities.
Chevron’s cash ratio in 2015 was 0.42 which gradually decreased in 2016 and also in 2017,but
again increased in 2018 and became 0.34. This means the company has insufficient cash on hand
exists to pay off short term debt, which is not good for them.
Cash ratio of Chevron’s peer group ExxonMobil from 2014 to 2018 are as follows: 0.071, 0.069,
0.077, 0.055, 0.053. ExxonMobil’s cash ratio of every year from 2014-2018 is much less than
Chevron company. So, Chevron is in better position in terms of cash ratio than Exxon’s.

2. Profitability Ratios
Gross profit indicates the difference between sales and the cost of goods sold or providing
service. Higher gross profit indicates that the company is able to generate higher profit.
Page | 6
Here, Chevron had 40.21% Gross profit margin on 2014 increased to 46.29% and 46.41%
respectively on 2015 and 2016 which shows that the company was maintain a good ability to
maintain their profit.
Then the gross profit margin started falling by 43.71% on 2017 and it got lower on 2018 by
40.59%. Which shows that due to decrease in the revenue, the gross profit margin was constantly
falling.
In this table, Gross profit margin of Exxon Mobil (A potential competitor of Chevron), from
2014 to 2018 are given, as we can see here, the GPM increased in 2014 to 2016 then started
decreasing till 2018. But In Exxon Mobil, The ratio is steadily increasing from 20.27% to
22.29% from 2014 to 2018.
As the purpose of calculating Gross profit margin is to assess the financial health and finding out
the remaining sales revenue after deducting all cost of sales/ revenue, The financial health or the
percentage amount of gross profit (after deducting cost of sales) is fluctuating whereas Exxon
Mobil is maintaining a continuous and steady growth in GPM.

2.2 Operating Profit Margin
Operating profit margin is calculated to measure how much profit a company generates on a
dollar sales after deducting all the variable costs.
Chevron’s Operating profit margin significantly decreased from 15.56% to 3.73% from 2014 to
2015 and incurred loss in 2016 having a negative operating margin of (-1.96%). Which means
they somehow struggled to maintain their ability to ear profit on a dollar sales after deducting all
the variable costs. But on year 2017 the Operating profit margin again increased 6.85% and then
Page | 8
it significantly increased in 2018 by 12.95%. So we can see here, that chevron was able to cover
their loss and increase their profit on a dollar sales from 2017 to 2018.
In this table, operating profit margin ratios are given for Exxon Mobil from 2014 to 2018.
The scenario of these two company is comparatively same. Because both of the company’s
Operating from started decreasing from 2014 till 2016 but here in 2016 Exxon although had
lower Operating ratio but didn’t incur loss like Chevron did. And also two of the company
started improving from 2017 to 2018. So the trend is quite same here for these two companies.
Although in term of operating margin ratio, Chevron seems to have higher Operating profit
margin then Exxon so we can easily say that Chevron is more able to earn profit on a dollar sales
after deducting variable costs than Exxon.

Net Profit Margin is a financial ratio applied to measure the percentage of profit a company
makes from its total revenue. The net profit margin is generally expressed as a percentage but
can also be illustrated in decimal form. The higher the ratio, the effective the company to control
its cost. The lower the ratio, higher risk to decline the sales which leads lower profit for them.
We can see that in 2014 their net profit margin is 0.091 and then it decreased rapidly reached at
0.0331 and -0.00434 in 2015 and 2016 respectively. Net profit margin then increased rapidly in
2017 and 2018 which is 0.06488 and 0.08911. Regarding comparison to Exxon, it shows the
Page | 10
similar trend like Chevron Company. The net profit margin in 2014 is 7.8944 and decreased
slightly to 6.4795 in 2015. Subsequently, the net profit margin plunged and reached a low of
3.7672 in 2016. Afterwards, the net profit margin rocketed to a high of 8.0659 in 2017 and
dropped slightly to 7.181 in 2018.

Return on total assets is a profitability ratio that measures the net income produced from the
total asset. Higher ROA means company is generating more profit by using their asset and it
attracts investors most to invest in the company. As it is illustrated by the graph, in 2014 and
2015 CHEVRON’s ROA are 0.1173 and 0.0182 gradually. Hence, it signifies that the
company is generating a Return on Total Assets of 0.1173 and 0.0182. But, in 2016 the
return of the total asset plummeted to -0.0083. After that, from 2017 to 2018, the return of
the total asset increased significantly from 0.03633 to 0.08105 and it implies that the
company is generating a Return on Total Assets of 0.03633 and 0.08105. The time has
passed the company become more profitable. There is a similar pattern in the return of the
total asset made by Exxon Company. In 2014 and 2015 Exxon's ROA are 9.6182 and 4.9148.
Then, the return of the total asset reached a low of 2.5335 in 2016. After that, in 2017 and
2018, the return of the total asset increased gradually from 5.692 to 6.1895.

DuPont analysis is the popular way to measure the returns on assets from the Shareholder’s
perspective. Return on Equity allows us to know the ability of the company to generate cash
internally and to judge overall financial performances. Higher ROE indicates that the
company is able to generate income from its internal equity than its potential Peer group.
In our calculation, Chevron has higher ROE (DuPont) of 12.32% but it remarkably decreased
by 2.98% on 2015 and on 2016 the company had a negative ROE of 0.34% because of
incurring net loss. The again from 2017 to 2018, it again started increasing from 6.16% to
9.52% respectively.
From overall scenario, we can see that, although the ability to generate return from the
internal equity started getting lower from 2014 but the chevron managed to increase it from
2017 onwards.

Comparison with Exxon Mobil:
In this table, return on equity (ROE) are given for Exxon Mobil from 2014 to 2018.
The scenario of these two company is comparatively same. Because both of the company’s
ROE from started decreasing from 2014 till 2016. And also two of the company started
improving from 2017 to 2018. So the trend is quite same here for these two companies.
Although in term of Return on Equity (ROE), Chevron seems to have lower ROE then
Exxon so we can easily say that Exxon Mobile has higher ability to generate high return from
their equity then Chevron.

Earnings per share are measured as a company's profit divided by the outstanding shares of its
common stock. The higher a company's EPS, the more profitable it is considered. In 2014 their
EPS is 10.21285 and in 2016 their EPS is 2.455567. For the year 2017 and 2018, their EPS are
4.883185 and 7.810327. It means investors are earning more while they are investing. When they
earn more, they will be encouraged more to invest more in the shares, which is a good sign for
the company.

Debt ratio is a financial ration which is used to measure the extent of a company’s leverage. By
this ratio we can know that how much assets of chevron are finance to debt. Lower debt ration
indicates the ability of borrowing money. In 2014 their debt ratio is 0.413 and 2015 debt ratio is
0.422. For the year 2016 their debt ratio is 0.436. We can see that their debt ratio is not that much
high. For the year 2017 their debt ratio is 0.412 and 2018 debt ratio is 0.387. Their debt ratio is
reasonable that they can get loan when they need finance. From the analysis we can say that
chevron is much freer from risk and it generated enough cash to fulfil debt obligations. Exxon
financial debt ratio in 2014 is 0.1608 where chevron debt is higher which 0.413. In 2015 Exxon
debt ratio is 02188 and chevron debt is 0.422 which is higher than Exxon. For the 2016 and 2017
Exxon debt ratio is 0.436 and 0.412 on the other side Exxon debt ratio is 0.246 and 0.2177 which
is lower than chevron. In the last fiscal year 2018 Exxon debt ratio is 0.1904 and chevron debt
ratio is 0.387 which is higher than Exxon. Comparatively for the debt ratio chevron is higher
debt than Exxon.

The price-earnings ratio (P/E ratio) is the ratio for valuing a company that measures its current
share price relative to its per-share earnings. The price-earnings ratio indicates the dollar amount
an investor can expect to invest in a company in order to receive one dollar of that company’s
earnings. Comparing to Exxon in 2014 the (P/E) ratio of ACI is $10.98727 it means that investors
have to pay $10.98727 dollar for every $1 dollar of earnings that company generates, where in
Exxon investors have to pay $10.39 which is lower. In mean time 2015-2018 they have to pay
more than the industry average for every $1 dollar of earnings that company generates. Statistic
shown that investors have to pay less in 2015-2017 as company did well in those years.

The book to market ratio is used to find the value of company by comparing the book value of
firm to its market value. Book value is calculated by looking at the firm's historical cost, or
accounting value. Market value is determined in the stock market through its market
capitalization. Here in 2014 our company’s (M/B) ratio is $0.73. A book-to-market ratio below 1
implies that investors are willing to pay more for a company than its net assets are worth. This
could indicate that the company has healthy future profit projections and the investors are willing
to pay a premium for that possibility. In 2015-2018 the (M/B) ratios are $0.91, $0.66, $0.63 and
$0.74 which is a good sign for the company.

Operating leverage is the percentage change in operating profit relative to sales. Operating
leverage is a measure of how sensitive the operating income is to the change in revenues. For this
company in 2014 Operating profit changes by 1.46% for every 1% change in Sales, 2015
Operating profit changes by 2.40% for every 1% change in sales, in 2016 operating profit
changes by 9.53%, in 2017 (23.73%) and in 2018 3.06% for every 1% change in sales. Means
greater use of fixed costs, Greater the impact of a change in sales on the operating income of
company. Higher sales will generate higher operating profit.

6. Rates
First we have calculated Return on Equity, Sustainable growth rate, tax rate and depreciation
rate.
For calculating Return on Equity, we have collected equity & net profit amount from the annual
financial report of ACI Ltd. ROE of ACI is 9.73%.
= 1035948452/ 10639058984
= 0.0973
Substantial growth allows a firm to collect extra debt financing and not equity financing, without
changing the debt to equity ratio. To calculate Sustainable growth rate (SGR), first we have
calculated Dividend payout.
= 175281604/ 438204010
= 0.4
= 5.84%
We calculated the tax rate by dividing income tax expense by profit before tax, amounts collected
from annual reports. The tax rate is 52.6%.
Page | 21
Tax Rate = Income tax expense/ Profit before tax
= 1153038139/ 2188986591
= 52.6%
The depreciation rate was also calculated by dividing depreciation expense by assets, amounts
collected from annual reports. The depreciation rate is 0.7746%.
= 363833605/ 46970018468
= 0.7746%
7. Income Statement

9. Free Cash Flow
We have calculated free cash flows for next 5 fiscal years. First, we have calculated the Net
working capital, Operating cash flow & Net capital expenditure required to find free cash flows.
For calculating net working capital, we have taken total current assets & total current liabilities
from the annual report. After calculating total NWC by subtracting total liabilities from total assets,
we calculated the changes in NWC for 5years.
Then we calculated net capital expenditure (NCS) by taking net fixed assets from the annual report
and finding the difference in fixed assets for 5years.
For calculating operating cash flow, first, we have taken net fixed assets from the annual report
and then using the depreciation rate calculated earlier we found the depreciation expense of ACI
Ltd. Then we took the earnings before interest & tax and the tax expense amount from the annual
report. By adding the depreciation expense with EBIT and subtracting tax expense we calculated
the OCF.
Finally, by using the FCF formula (OCF-NWC-NCS) we calculated free cash flow for 5years of
ACI Ltd.

10. Beta
Beta can be calculated through:
Weighted average cost of capital (WACC) is a calculation of a firm's cost of capital in which each
category of capital is proportionately weighted. The sources of capital of Advanced Chemical
Industries (ACI) Limited are Equity and Debt. These are included in the WACC calculation, the
amounts are collected from the annual reports.
WACC increases as the beta and rate of return on equity increase, because an increase in WACC
denotes a decrease in valuation and an increase in risk.
To calculate WACC, we multiplied the cost of each capital component by its proportional weight
and took the sum of the results. The method for calculating WACC can be expressed in the
following formula:

First, we have calculated the CAPM of Advanced Chemical Industries (ACI) Limited. The items
needed for calculating CAPM are risk free rate, average annual market return & market risk
premium.
The risk-free rate is taken from the Bangladesh Bank website, which is the 7.02% (for 364day
Treasury bill). The average annual market return that we have taken is 10%. Then we subtracted
the risk-free rate from the average annual market return and calculated the market risk premium.
Then we calculated the CAPM using the formula:
For the final calculation of WACC, first, we calculated the total value of Advanced Chemical
Industries (ACI) Limited. For calculating the total value of the firm, we needed the value of equity
& debt and the amounts of equity & debt were taken from the annual report. By adding the value
of equity & debt we calculated the total value of the firm. The cost of equity was calculated
earlier and the cost of debt was mentioned in the annual report, so we took that directly.
Using the total value of the firm and the individual value of equity & debt, we calculated the
proportional weight of equity & debt. And the tax rate was already calculated in previous steps.

Finally, by using the formula and the items required we calculated the WACC of ACI, which is
8.50 %.
Calculation of WACC
Value of Equity, E 154,554,000,000
Value of Debt, D 34,500,000,000
Value of the firm, V 189,054,000,000
We 81.75%
Wd 18.24%
WACC 7.25%
First, we calculated the terminal value at the 5th year. We used the constant growth rate of 7.28%
and the discount rate (WACC) 7.25% and the 5th year FCF. Terminal value formula:

Terminal Value Calculation
Then we calculated the present value of the 5years’ free cash flows and the terminal value. Present
value formula:
Then by adding the 5years’ present value and the terminal value’s present value we got the
Enterprise value. By subtracting debt from the enterprise value, we got the fair value of the
Olympic Industries Ltd.

13. Stock Price Calculation
We calculated the stock price of Olympic by dividing the fair value with the no. of shares
outstanding. The share price calculated was 221.64, but the current stock price of ACI Ltd., as of
31st December, 2018 is 253.00 (BDT). So, the stock of Olympic Industries Ltd. is undervalued by
31.36 (BDT). So, an investor should buy the stock.
