These discussion assignments will mostly mirror the Target case assignments each week with your chosen company.
This week, answer the following questions:
1-a. What amount ($ in millions) does your company report for net property and equipment for the year end?
1-b. What is the largest category of property and equipment reported on the face of the balance sheet?
2-a. What amount of cash was used in the fiscal year, to purchase property and equipment?
2-b. Is this an increase or decrease compared to the previous year?
3. Do you think your company would have more research and development costs or more advertising costs?
4-a. What is the fixed-asset turnover ratio for the fiscal year end?
4-b. What is the ratio intended to measure?
5. What is the total amount of and type of intangible assets in total assets?
I am sharing an interesting source which provides a clear overview of the formula, interpretation, and practical applications of the ratio, making it a helpful reference for understanding asset utilization and operational efficiency in real-world business analysis. It also explains the fixed-asset turnover ratio and its importance in evaluating how efficiently a company uses its long-term assets to generate revenue. https://www.wallstreetprep.com/knowledge/fixed-asset-turnover-ratio/
