Team B: Assignment from the Readings Ch. 11: Interpreting Financial Statements BYP11-4
BYP11-4 Marriott Corporation split into two companies: Host Marriott Corporation and Marriott International. Host Marriott retained ownership of the corporation’s vast hotel and other properties, while Marriott International, rather than owning hotels, managed them. The purpose of this split was to free Marriott International from the “baggage” associated with Host Marriott, thus allowing it to be more aggressive in its pursuit of growth. The following information (in millions) is provided for each corporation for their first full year operating as independent

(b) Calculate the debt to total assets ratio for each company.
Debt to total assets ratio:
Host Marriott – ($3,112 /$3,822) = 1.23%
Marriott International – ($2,440 / $3,207) = 1.31%

(c) Calculate the return on assets and return on common stockholders’ equity ratios for each company.

Return on Assets: Host Marriott – (25)/3822= .0065
Marriott Intl – 200/3207= .0624

(d) The company’s debt holders were fiercely opposed to the original plan to split the two companies because the original plan had Host Marriott absorbing the majority of the company’s debt. They relented only when Marriott International agreed to absorb a larger share of the debt. Discuss the possible reasons the debt holders were opposed to the plan to split the company.
The debt holders were more than likely opposed the splitting of the company because they would not make a profit and would run the risk of being stuck with all of the debt. The debt holders felt the split was unfair since the debt resulted from business done as one company. In order to afford both companies a fair opportunity for success it’s only fair to assign a fair amount of debt between each

    Thankfully, the need was not there to have to eliminate any positions or lay off any staff. We could keep all staff on board, which was the team goal early goal. We examined benefit costs per employee, and whether the merger would cause an increase in company subsidy for each employee, which would take away from the profit margins. After careful review of what both companies had to offer, we realized that the benefits package offered by Marriott International was more substantial and a better deal for both employees and the company. Although the employee out-of-pocket cost would slightly increase, the increase was not significant enough to make much of a difference to the staff, considering the extra benefits that would be accessible to them going forward.…
