FINANCIAL STATEMENT ANALYSIS CASE 2
(a) Account 2007 (,000)
(1) Return on Assets 4.15% = Net Income/Total Assets
(2) Return on Stockholders’ Equity 33.07% = Net Income/Stockholders’
Equity
(3) Debt to Assets Ratio 87.44% = Total Debt/Total Assets
(b) Sepracor is doing very well. Its ROA and ROSE are above the industry
average. However, its debt level is quite high, compared to the industry.
This may suggest it is a riskier investment and may require a higher rate
of return than the 5% coupon. Investors likely were attracted to the con–
vertible bonds due to the possibility that Sepracor’s stock price will increase,
and they can cash in on these gains when they convert to common stock.
