Summary Financial Statements
The financial statement analysis is conducted on the reformulated financial statements of
earlier chapters, particularly the reformulated balance sheets and income statements of
Chapter 10.
Below are the summary numbers from those financial statements for 2010. We will carry
out the analysis for 2010; a similar analysis apples to 2009 and earlier years. Take the
template here and put it into a spreadsheet that will then deliver the numbers for prior
years.

Check that the leverage equations work:


ROCE before MI = RNOA + [FLEV (RNOA NBC)]
= 22.19% + [0.816 (22.19%- 2.78%)]
= 38.01%
RNOA = ROOA + OLLEV [(ROOA S/T Borrowing Rate)]
= 14.09% + [0.608 (14.09% - 0.76%)]
= 22.19%
