90. Discount Toys is a retail toy store. The following are selected figures from their income statement (in millions):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Compute the following ratios for 2009, 2008 and 2007: Net profit margin, Asset turnover, Financial leverage, and Return on equity.

 

1. Write a short essay explaining what has happened to the return on equity for Discount Toys and discuss the causes of changes in the ratio for the three years.

 

3. Net profit margin 3.6% in 2009, 2.4% in 2008, (1.2%) in 2007; Asset turnover 1.39 in 2009, 1.46 in 2008, 1.41 in 2007; Financial leverage 2.30 in 2009, 2.23 in 2008, 1.97 in 2007; Return on equity 11.4% in 2009, 7.6% in 2008, (3.3%) in 2007

 

2009. Discount Toys has improved its asset turnover ratio slightly from 2007 to 2008 but it dropped in 2009 as sales decreased while average assets increased indicating less efficient asset management in 2009. Discount Toys has a fairly high financial leverage ratio and it continues to rise indicating that they use a great deal of debt to finance their assets. An increase in this ratio usually indicates that debt is rising faster than the investment in assets so the debt to equity ratio is increasing. The profit margin has improved from a negative 1.2% in 2004 to a positive 3.6% in 2009. The improvement in their net profit margin may indicate they have been better at controlling their costs thereby improving profit margins even though sales dropped in 2009. Since ROE is a negative (3.2%) in 2007 compared to the negative net profit margin of (1.2%) in 2007, it demonstrates negative financial leverage. The ROE is a larger negative ratio because of the use of so much debt in financing the company’s assets. In 2008 and 2009 when the net profit margin was positive, it led to a significantly higher ROE than the reported profit margins in those years, demonstrating the ability to generate a better return for the stockholders through the use of leverage. Note: in 2009 Discount Toys reported a $315 million gain from the IPO of Toys-Japan which makes their profit margin and return ratios look better than they would with only the results of operating income reflected in their bottom line.
