Answer
Applied Materials Case 2.2 Part B
Prof. Gabrini
Spring 2019
ACCT 3800
Analysis of Applied Materials Balance Sheet
Applied Materials, Inc.’s balance sheet depicts a mature and stable company.
Current assets have increased by over 10%, mostly due to increases in accounts receivable and
inventory, and make up over 46% of total assets. Cash and cash equivalents declined, but both
current and quick ratios appear stable and adequate to cover current liabilities. The cash
liquidity is less than 1 and declined slightly.
Overall total assets declined by half a percent due to the decline in noncurrent assets, mostly
other intangible assets and goodwill. Plant, property, and equipment may be aging as indicated
by the proportion of accumulated deprecation to historical cost of those assets (70%).
Current liabilities increased by nearly 8% while total liabilities increased by less than 2%. Long-
term liabilities are stable. The company’s capital structure is “safe” relying predominately on
contributed and earned capital as opposed to long-term debt. Equity is nearly 60% of total
liabilities and equity combined. The company’s retained earnings balance is 103% of total
liabilities and equity.
While Applied Materials appears to be a mature and stable company, it is likely management
must assess the age and condition of its fixed assets to determine whether investment in this
area is prudent for continued future health of the company. The company’s management
should continue to monitor cash flow liquidity to ensure adequate cash is on hand to satisfy
debts as they come due.
