Exercise 15-14 (15 minutes)
Regae Industries appears to be less efficient in the use of its total assets in
2016 than in 2015 as suggested by the decline in return on total assets
from 14.0% to 10.9%. However, without additional information, it is not
possible to determine whether Regae is within the normal range as
compared to similar companies. In addition, conditions may exist that
explain the apparent decline in efficiency between 2015 and 2016. For
example, Regae may have increased its investment in plant assets in 2016
in anticipation of increased production and sales in 2017. Or, its
competitors’ returns may have fallen even more than that of Regae’s
returns.
