for 2009.
Return on assets……………
Acme
Transportation
9%
Industry
6%
Return on equity……………
12%

Explain why the return-on-equity ratio is so much less favorable than the return-on-assets ratio compared
to the industry. No numbers are necessary; a one-sentence answer is all that is required.
3-11. Solution:
Acme Transportation Company
Acme Transportation has a lower debt/total assets ratio than the industry.

sales and turns over its assets 2.5 times per year. It has $100,000 in current liabilities and $300,000 in
long-term liabilities.

= 13.45%
= 12.37%
Comment: The return on stockholders’ equity ratio is going down each
year. The difference in trends between a and b is due to the larger
portion of assets that are financed by stockholders’ equity as opposed to
debt.
Optional: This can be confirmed by computing total debt to total assets
for each year.

ratios for each on, examining those ratios which would be most important to a
supplier or short-term lender and a stockholder.

a. Since suppliers and short-term lenders are most concerned with liquidity
ratios, Smith Corporation would get the nod as having the best ratios in this
category. One could argue, however, that Smith had benefited from having its
debt primarily long term rather than short term. Nevertheless, it appears to
have better liquidity ratios.
S3-13
3-35. (Continued)
b. Stockholders are most concerned with profitability. In this category, Jones has
much better ratios than Smith. Smith does have a higher return on equity than
Jones, but this is due to its much larger use of debt. Its return on equity is
higher than Jones’ because it has taken more financial risk. In terms of other
ratios, Jones has its interest and fixed charges well covered and in general its
long-term ratios and outlook are better than Smith’s. Jones has asset
utilization ratios equal to or better than Smith and its lower liquidity ratios
could reflect better short-term asset management, and that point was covered
in part a.
Note: Remember that to make actual financial decisions more than one year’s
comparative data is usually required. Industry comparisons should also be made.
