...April 2, 2014 Financial Ratio Analysis: Pfizer *All numbers in 1,000’s Changes in income statement and balance sheet (Pfizer) When we take a look at Pfizer’s income statement over the last decade, we see much fluctuation in total revenues. In 2009, Pfizer bottomed out at $50,000, but peaked 2 years later at $67,425. A similar pattern is seen when we look at the firm’s gross profit. It appears as though Pfizer maximizes their revenue and income when operating income is low, and in years where more money is spent on fixed assets and research and development. In essence, the key to Pfizer’s income statement walls in their promotion mix, and if we were to get a glimpse of that we would be able to explain all of these numbers more accurately. Analysis of ratios When we first look at the liquidity ratio for Pfizer, we see that the firm has increased the percentage of both the quick ratio and current ratio over the 10-year period by roughly 66%, indicating an increase in assets and a decrease in liabilities. The leverage ratios of the firm tell us that Pfizer has accumulated more debt over the last decade however that debt was highest during year 2007, and has decreased by 25% in the last 5 years. The profitability ratio provides us with information that we can use to see that the cost of Pfizer’s goods has increased steadily over the last decade, while the amount of revenue has stayed relatively even. Finally, the activity ratio tells us that the firm has been decreasing...

...town of Luserna, Italy, 280 people had the last name Nicolussi. An example of descriptive statistics is the following statement : "80% of these people have the last name Nicolussi." Ex. On the last 3 Sundays, Henry D. Carsalesman sold 2, 1, and 0 new cars respectively. An example of descriptive statistics is the following statement : "Henry averaged 1 new car sold for the last 3 Sundays." These are both descriptive statements because they can actually be verified from the information provided. The second type of statistics in inferential statistics. This is a set of methods used to make a generalization, estimate, prediction or decision. Ex. Of 350 randomly selected people in the town of Luserna, Italy, 280 people had the last name Nicolussi. An example of inferential statistics is the following statement : "80% of all people living in Italy have the last name Nicolussi." We have no information about all people living in Italy, just about the 350 living in Luserna. We have taken that information and generalized it to talk about all people living in Italy. The easiest way to tell that this statement is not descriptive is by trying to verify it based upon the information provided. Ex. On the last 3 Sundays, Henry D. Carsalesman sold 2, 1, and 0 new cars respectively. An example of inferential statistics are the following statements : "Henry never sells more than 2 cars on a Sunday." Although this statement is true for the last 3 Sundays, we do not know that this is true...

This proposal has an NPV of $8,200.45. The IRR is 17.64% and the MIRR is 16.13%. It has a Profitability Index of 2.13 and a payback period of 10.11 years. The value of the tax shield for this project is $629,000. The screening of these projects was extensive and based on this analysis we recommend the Match My Doll Clothing line extension. Although the Design Your Own Doll Line has a higher NPV, it is not the key factor as to what we should use when picking one project over the other. It is important to factor in the IRR, MIRR, Payback Period, and the PI as well. Furthermore, we included the Value of the Tax Shield into our valuation of which project to choose. The Match My Doll Clothing Line had higher returns when compared to its competitor in almost all categories (except in NPV), which thus led us to our decision. Match My Clothing Line is the project the New Heritage Doll Company should choose based on previous information stated. (Note: all values stated $ in thousands) Background New Heritage Doll Company was quickly approaching their company’s capital budgeting...
