HCA

a. HCA's Liabilities-to-assets ratios and times-interest-earned ratios in the years 2005 through 2009:

1. Liabilities-to-assets ratios = Total liabilities/Total Assets

Dec. 09 Dec. 08 Dec. 07 Dec. 06 Dec. 05

136.63% 141.60% 143.18% 147.51% 78.12%

2. Times-interest-earned ratios = EBIT/Interest Expense

Dec. 09 Dec. 08 Dec. 07 Dec. 06 Dec. 05

1.91 times 1.45 times 1.33 times 2.76 times 4.11 times

b. The percentage decline in EBIT that HCA could have suffered each year between 2005 and 2009 to make it unable to make interest payments out its operating earnings, where operating earnings is defined as EBIT:

Dec. 09 Dec. 08 Dec. 07 Dec. 06 Dec. 05

191% 145% 133% 276% 411%

c. The volatility of HCA's cash flows over the period 2005 to 2009:

The standard deviation of the cash flows (cash and cash equivalents) is 115, showing that there is so much volatility in the cash flows.

d. HCA's return on invested capital (ROIC) in the years 2005 - 2009:

= Net Income - Dividend / Total Liabilities + Equity x 100

ROIC = 4.37% 2.77% 3.64% 4.38% 6.41%
