ASSESSMENT 1
FINANCIAL CONDITION ANALYSIS
RESOURCES
If you are not familiar with resources for finding financial ratios for a company, explore the following:
INSTRUCTION
Create a 4-6 page report that analyzes financial ratios for a company, uses the data to tell the financial story of that company, and concludes with a recommendation on whether the company would be a viable partner based on its financial condition.
INTRODUCTION
It’s essential for senior management to know the financial condition of an organization in order to make strategic decisions. In this assessment, you will apply the financial management skills learned thus far.
SCENARIO
Maria Gomez is founder and president of ABC Healthcare Corporation, a company that owns hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, urgent care centers, and outpatient clinics. She has called on you to review various financial documents and to make recommendations to maximize shareholder value.
YOUR ROLE
You are one of Maria’s high-performing financial analyst managers at ABC Healthcare Corporation and she trusts your work and leadership.
REQUIREMENTS
Here is what your report should provide for Maria:
The CFO for ABC Healthcare Corporation assessed the market value by reviewing its price/earnings ratios. The price/earnings ratio determines the market value of a stock as compared to the company’s earnings. The price/earnings ratios are listed in the chart below. To calculate the price/earnings ratio, the CFO took the earnings per share and divided that into the market value. As an example, this means that in
investors were willing to pay $
for $1 of earnings.
| Price/Earnings Ratio | 2018 | 2017 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 83.62 | |||||
| 6.91 | 7.87 | 9.15 | |||
| 10.63 | 9.14 |
To further assess market value, the CFO looked at book value per share. The book value per share ratio is the per share value of a company in terms of the equity available to stockholders. The book values per share over the past three years are listed in the chart below:
| Price/Ratio Ratio | ||
|---|---|---|
| 199.1 | 209.05 | 226 |
| .42 | .40 | .37 |
The price-to-book ratio (P/B ratio) compares a firm’s market capitalization to its book value. It’s calculated by dividing the company’s stock price per share by book value per share. Here, for fiscal year 2019, the book value per share ratio was 0.42. This explains that investors were willing to pay $0.42 for $1 of book value equity. Price to book value is an important measure to see how much equity shareholders are paying for the net assets value of the company. P/B ratios under 1 are typically considered solid investments.
DELIVERABLE FORMAT

The analysisaims to determine which project provides the best opportunity to maximize shareholder value.Project SummariesProject A: Major equipment purchases with $10M upfront cost to decrease the price ofgoods sold by 5% annually for 8 years.Project B: Expansion into 3 new states with $8M startup/working capital costs to increaserevenues by 10% annually for 5 years.Project C: $2M annual marketing campaign over 6 years to boost revenues by 15%annually.Using net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), payback period, andprofitability index (PI), the study identifies Project B as the clear best option given its high NPV,IRR above the hurdle rate, and relatively quick payback period. Project C is the next mostattractive, while Project A provides fewer compelling returns.The report recommends proceeding with Project B’s geographic expansion based on thepotential for $53.2M in NPV creation and an attractive 43.7% IRR over the 5-year investmentperiod. As Farro (2023) said, it will be crucial to develop concrete execution plans to realize theprojected revenue. Overall, Project B presents the optimal use of capital to drive long-termshareholder value creation for ABC Healthcare.Capital Budgeting AnalysisProject A: Equipment PurchaseUpfront Cost: $10,000,000Annual Cost Savings: $600,000 from a 5% reduction in the cost of goods soldProjected Cashflows and AnalysisThe $10M equipment expenditure provides the firm $4.1M in net present value based onthe forecast of $600K annual cost savings over 8 years. This translates into a respectable 18.3%internal rate of return, exceeding the 8% hurdle rate. The project has a relatively short payback of4.0 years and a profitability index 1.41, indicating value creation.While attractive from a strict return perspective, there are a few potential downsides toconsider with Project A’s machinery investment:1. The cost savings are reflected solely on expense, with no revenue upside. A highoperating leverage structure elevates risk.2. The cost of goods sold must be closely monitored to ensure the projected 5% annualsavings fully materialize as expected.33. There could be integration/changeover costs to install new production equipment that arenot accounted for here.Overall, Project A provides a reasonably strong return at limited downside risk, thoughthe upside potential may be somewhat capped versus other alternatives.Project B: Geographic ExpansionUpfront Cost: $8,000,000 ($7M startup costs + $1M net working capital investment)Projected Revenue Uplift: 10% annual increase for 5 yearsProjected Cashflows & AnalysisThe $8M investment required to expand into 3 new states is extremely attractive based onthe projected $53.2M net present value from the expansion’s cash flows over 5 years. At a robust43.7% internal rate of return, well exceeding the 12% hurdle rate, Project B appears to be anexcellent use of capital and a value-creating opportunity.The expansion initiative has an acceptable 3.6-year payback window to recoup theupfront investment. The profitability index of 7.65 indicates outstanding value creation potential,with $7.65 generated for every $1 invested.Key advantages of pursuing Project B include:1. The 10% annual revenue uplift forecast seems reasonably achievable but not overlyoptimistic based on industry growth trends2. Geographic diversification helps to mitigate operational and payor concentration risk3. Favorable investment returns persist even if revenue ramps up slower than projectedIf diligently executed, the geographic expansion offers significant value creation potentialwith limited downside risk (De Marchi et al., 2020). Ensuring proper rollout with well-definedoperational processes will be critical to fully realizing the upside.Project C: Marketing CampaignUpfront Cost: $12,000,000 (6 years at $2M per year marketing spend)Projected Revenue Uplift: 15% annual increase for 6 yearsProjected Cashflows and AnalysisABC’s proposed $12M marketing investment falls short of Project B but holds solidprofitability potential. Over the 6-year campaign window, Project C could generate $9.9M in netpresent value based on the 15% annual revenue increase forecast.At a 17.7% internal rate of return, Project C exceeds the 10% hurdle rate and wouldcreate meaningful value for shareholders. With a payback period of 4.9 years, ABC wouldrecoup the upfront marketing spend relatively quickly. The profitability index of 1.82 signalsvalue creation, though not as prolific as the geographic expansion path (Lucas, 2023).Potential advantages of the marketing program include:41. A proven uplift in brand equity and consumer demand should drive sustainable revenuegrowth across the entire footprint2. A lower upfront investment requirement of $12M provides more financial flexibility3. Diversification into new services/products could enhance revenue durability over time4. Risks that would need mitigation include:5. The 15% annual lift may be an ambitious target depending on the current brandpositioning6. Return metrics are more sensitive to potential shortfalls in the projected revenue upliftversus other projects7. Lack of direct cost savings could create operating de-leverage if revenues disappointOverall, Project C offers a compelling return profile worthy of consideration, particularlyif existing branding/positioning is lacking. However, the geographic expansion in Project Bappears to present the superior use of capital based on the capital budgeting criteria.RecommendationBased on the comprehensive analysis employing net present value, internal rate of return,payback period, and profitability index methodologies, I recommend that ABC HealthcareCorporation move forward with Project B’s proposed geographic expansion into 3 new states.Among the three candidates evaluated, Project B exhibits the highest value creationpotential with a robust $53.2M net present value and exceptionally strong 43.7% internal rate ofreturn over the 5-year investment period. This IRR sits well above the 12% hurdle rate requiredfor a project of this risk profile. Project B’s payback period of only 3.6 years is also highlyattractive, as is the 7.65 profitability index, indicating significant value generation for the upfrontcapital outlay.While Project C’s marketing campaign remains potentially viable as a secondaryinitiative, I do not believe it maximizes shareholder value to the same degree as the geographicdiversification strategy. While offering a compelling equipment upgrade, Project A appears tohave more limited upside from a strict return on investment perspective.The proposed geographic expansion aligns well with prevailing healthcare market trendsthat favor scale and diversification. By extending the system’s footprint into 3 additional states,ABC can accelerate its growth trajectory, expand brand reach, and capitalize on new revenueopportunities. There are inherent risks in any geographic rollout, but the upside possibilitiesoutweigh potential downsides or integration hurdles far if executed diligently.As the analysis indicates, the capital budgeting metrics emphatically signal Project B asthe optimal use of capital for driving long-term shareholder value creation. I recommend wemove expeditiously toward developing a comprehensive operational blueprint to pursue thisexpansion opportunity over the coming months. Proper planning will enable ABC to fullycapitalize on the upside revenue potential that Project B presents.5ReferencesDe Marchi, V., Di Maria, E., Golini, R., & Perri, A. (2020).

Follow the link above, read the links then take the quiz to earn your certification. Once you earn your certification, take a screen shot of the certification or the email they send then upload that picture to Canvas for credit.Each randomly selected question on a test provides source material from another author and a sample of student writing. The test taker must determine whether the student version is word-for-word plagiarism, paraphrasing plagiarism, or not plagiarism. Many questions exemplify subtle forms of plagiarism which represent incomplete or incorrect understanding of plagiarism, carelessness, or attempts to disguise actual plagiarism.Unlike classroom tests you have taken in school, Certification Tests do not provide specific feedback on questions answered incorrectly. This is done on purpose to make it harder to cheat by simply memorizing answers to questions. After the test, you will receive a general description of some kinds of misunderstandings you may have.If you take several tests, and do not pass, the outcome is very unlikely to change until you learn more about plagiarism.Learn more through instruction on how to recognize plagiarism (Links to an external site.). You can view examples (Links to an external site.) of different kinds of plagiarism with explanations.Practice how to recognize plagiarism (Links to an external site.) with specific feedback on why your answers are right or wrong. Take practice tests (Links to an external site.) where you get specific feedback on your results.YOU WILL NEED TO SCREEN SHOT YOUR CERTIFICATION AND UPLOAD THE PHOTO TO CANVAS.Management Enron & the Dabhol Power Project Negotiations Questions I need you to answer these questions based on the document attached.1.
