g. List other interesting information/facts, if any, disclosed in this section?

Overall Nike has over 130 wholly owned subsidiaries. 20 of these subsidiaries operate

within the United States while 110 in the rest of the World. Almost all of the

subsidiaries carry on the same line of business except for three. One of these three

is an insurance company.

8. Does your firm prepare consolidated financial statements? (check one)

Often, the financial statement will have the word “consolidated” in its title to indicate that the
corporation owns one or more subsidiaries and that the financial results of the subsidiaries
have been combined with those of the parent company to produce a single set of financial
statements.
Yes No

When the company and the subsidiaries are combined, all transactions between the company
and its subsidiaries must first be eliminated. Why do you think this is necessary?

This is necessary to eliminate these transactions being accounted twice. For example if one of

subsidiaries sells products or services to the other, it would show a revenue while the recipient

subsidiary would show an expense while overall Nike has neither earned any revenue or

incurred any expenditure, therefore to offset this these transactions are eliminated. Even if

were included, they would eventually cancel off the affects, so why do the unnecessary
calculations.

9. What format was used to prepare your firm’s income statement? (check one)
Hint: If gross margin (also called gross profit) is reported on the income statement, it’s the

draw a line through it.

Percen Percen
Most Recent t of Next Most t of
Income Statement Line Year (FY 08) Sales Recent Year Sales

Sales or Revenue 18627.0 mil 100 % 16325.9 mil 100 %

Cost of Sales 10239.6 mil 55.0 9165.4 mil 56.1

Net Income 1883.4 mil 10.1 1491.5 mil 9.14

Other Major Items

Interest Income 77.1 mil 0.41 67.2 mil 0.41

12. Based on the common-size analysis above, which item(s) appear to be the most significant in
explaining the change in net income (profitability) from the next most recent year to the most
recent year (i.e., which items changed most relative to sales revenue)? Discuss below.

There are two significant changes. Nike’s Operating Expenses have increased but however

The share of net income has increased by approx. 1% (compared to total sales). This is due

To the fact that Nike has decreased the COGS by over 1 % compared to total Sales and

Secondly the tax liability for Nike has been reduced from 4% of total sales in FYE 2007 to
3% in FYE 2008. Due to these two effects there is increase in the % of net income.

13. Which of the following terms describes the balance sheet as reported by your firm? (check
those that apply.)

Classified balance sheet (Assets are segregated into categories)

Comparative balance sheet (More than one year of data is presented)

14. Identify the amounts that your firm reported for each of the following categories and the
percentage of total assets that each represents. (FYE 2008)

Amount Percent
(in millions)

Current Assets $ 8944.6 71.0

Property, Plant & Equipment $ 1874.8 14.9

Goodwill and other intangible assets $ 425.1 3.4

Other long term assets $ 1350.3 10.7

Total $ 12594.8 100%

Current Liabilities $ 3311.6 26.3

Long-term liabilities $ 441.1 3.5

Contributed capital $ 3768.8 29.9

Retained Earnings $ 5073.3 40.3

Total $ 12594.8 100%

15. If you were a creditor of a firm you would be interested in whether the firm had enough
resources to pay you when you bill came due, which can be determined by two indicators:

A. The amount of working capital, the cushion by which total current assets exceed total
current liabilities
WC = current assets – current liabilities
Working Capital for FYE 08= 8944.6 mil – 3311.6 mil = $ 5633 mil

B. The current ratio, which reveals how many dollars of current assets are available to pay
off each dollar of current liabilities.
CR = Current Assets
Current Liabilities
CR= 8944.6/3311.6 = 2.70
