Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Total debt in 2010

$2780 million

Total debt in 2014

$4015 million

Thus, the change in total debt (4015 - 2780)

$1235 million

(e): In the notes to accounts there is no information about the amount of finished inventory for the year 2014. However, the total assets of the company for the financial year ending in 2014 is $8,113 million and plant assets are $2,318 million thus, the finished product inventory can be assumed to be (8113 – 2318) = $6,495 million.

(f):

Net earnings before taxes for 2014

$1073 Million

Less: Net earnings

$807 million

Tax

$266 million

Effective rate of income tax (266 x 100 / 1073)

24.79%

           

(g): Net sales for 2014 is $8,268 million. No information about segment sales have been provided in notes to accounts.

(h):      

Total equity

$1603 million

Number of shares

314 million

Thus, market price (1603 / 314)

5.11

Hence, the range would be $5.00 to $5.20

Total debt in 2010

$2780 million

Total debt in 2014

$4015 million

Thus, the change in total debt (4015 - 2780)

$1235 million
