Question: All assets are either operating or non-operating. Operating assets are used to generate sales while non-operating assets are typically excess monies that have not yet


All assets are either operating or non-operating. Operating assets are used to generate sales while non-operating assets

are typically excess monies that have not yet been invested in operating assets or excess cash that will be returned to the

bondholders and stockholders at some point in the future.

2.

Typical non-operating assets are excess cash or cash equivalents and investments. All other assets are typically

operating.

3.

Typical financing liabilities are current portion of long term debt, long term debt, and capitalized lease obligations. All

other liabilities including accounts payable, and accrued expenses are typically operating liabilities.

4.

Invested capital equals operating assets minus operating liabilities.

5.

Net non-operating assets or net liabilities equals non-operating assets minus non-operating liabilities.

Part 2 - The Income Statement

1.

As stated in part 1, all assets are either operating or non-operating -- so all revenues and expenses are also operating or

non-operating.

2.

Typical non-operating revenues are interest income earned on excess cash and on investments. Typical non-operating

expenses are interest paid on borrowed money (bonds issued by the corporation) and interest paid on leased assets.

3.

All other revenues and expense are typically operating.

4.

Net operating income less adjusted taxes (NOPLAT) equals operating revenues minus operating expenses and then minus

taxes.

Sample Income Statement:

Cost of goods sold

Part 3 - Merging the Balance Sheet and Income Statement to measure profitability

1.

Return on average invested capital (ROIC)

is what the company earned operating the business. It is computed by

taking the net operating profit less adjusted taxes (NOPLAT) and dividing by the average invested capital or (IC) (we do

not have beginning and ending number in this example so assume the number given is the average).

Using the invested capital from part 1 and the NOPLAT from part 2, please calculate the return on invested capital (ROIC)
