HA516-Healthcare Finance

Exhibit 4.1 data:

Sunnyvale’s debt ratio at the end of 2015 was total debt (liabilities) divided by total assets = $100,747,000 ÷ $154,815,000 = 0.65 = 65%. This ratio reveals that each dollar of assets was financed by 65 cents of debt and, by inference, 35 cents of equity. Sunnyvale’s debt ratio at the end of 2014 was $68,893,000 ÷ $115,101,000 = 0.60 = 60%. Thus, the clinic increased its proportional use of debt financing by 5 percentage points in one year. That information is important to Sunnyvale’s managers and creditors. (The consequences of increased debt utilization are discussed throughout this book, but primarily in Chapter 13.) Also, it should be clear that judgments about Sunnyvale’s capital structure could not be made easily without constructing the debt ratio and other ratios; interpreting the dollar values directly is just too difficult.
