The lower a company’s interest coverage ratio is, the more its debt expenses burden the company. If the firm’s interest coverage ratio is 1.5 times or lower it is generally considered to be a bare minimum and it is risk for default is too high. Generally, an interest coverage ratio of 2.5 times is often considered to be a warning sign, indicating that the company should be careful not to dip further. In this case the Maxis Company should be aware of their interest coverage ratio.

    First off, I am going to rank the companies’ two financial measures, earning power and solvency. The scale ranges from 1 (very weak) to 10 (very strong). After analyzing the numbers of both companies, it is very apparent that Medtronic has generally done better than SJM in the fiscal year 2008, and this applies to both financial measures. For the first measure, earning power, Medtronic has done better than SJM in all ratios, excluding Return on Assets (ROA). Based on this, on a scale from 1 to 10, I would rank Medtronic as an eight and SJM a six. Moving onto the next financial measure, under all solvency ratios, Medtronic had done better than SJM. Once again, Medtronic’s ranking is 8, but SJM seems a little worse, therefore I rank SJM a five.…
