2. Interpret and Analysis
a. Liquidity
i. Current Ratio
The current ratio is a frequently used indicator of a company's liquidity and short-term
debt-paying capabilities. The ratio is computed by dividing current assets by current
liabilities (Weygandt, et al., 2019). Anheuser-Busch InBev’s current ratio for the six-month
period ended 30 June 2022 is calculated by:
Figure 2: AB InBev’s balance sheet from half year financial report (Auheuser-Busch InBev, 2022).
AB InBev’s quick ratio stands at 0.67, which is lower than the industry average (drink and
brewing - 1.26), indicating that AB InBev is not at risk of falling overdue on its debt
payments.

Figure 3: Current Ratio of AB InBev and the drink and brewing industry (MSN, 2022).
Figure 4: AB InBev’s balance sheet from Annual report 2021 (Anheuser-Busch InBev, 2021).
9
The figure of quick ratio of AB InBev accounted for 0.54, which moderately higher than
one second of the drink and brewing industry’s quick ratio (0.93), proving that AB InBev
has strong ability to pay its current obligations.
Figure 5: Quick Ratio of AB InBev and drink & brewing industry (MSN, 2022).
b. Efficiency
i. Inventory Turnover
Inventory turnover determines the amount of business that can be generated with a
given inventory investment (Ittelson, 2020). The inventory turnover is computed by
dividing the cost of the goods sold by the average inventory (Weygandt, et al., 2019). The
figure for inventory turnover of AB InBev for the twelve-month period ended 31
December 2021 can be calculated as follow:
10
Figure 6: Income statement and balance sheet of from AB InBev Annual report 2021
(Anheuser-Busch InBev, 2021).
AB InBev's inventory turnover ratio (4.68) is considerably higher than the Drink & Brewing
industry average (3.38), inferring that AB InBev requires less inventory investment to
produce the same sales as a company with a lower turnover.
Figure 7: Inventory turnover figure of AB InBev and the industry average (MSN, 2022).
11
2008). AB InBev’s asset turnover for the fiscal year ends at December 31 2020 is
computed as below:
Figure 8: Income statement and balance sheet from AB InBev Annual report 2021 (Anheuser-
Busch InBev, 2021).
c. Solvency
i. Debt-to-Equity Ratio
The debt-to-equity ratio is a leverage ratio that calculates total debt and financial
liabilities to total shareholder equity (CFI, 2022). The debt-to-ratio of AB InBev is
calculated by the formula below:
12
Total long-term debts 82117
Debt-to-equity ratio = = = 1.15
Shareholder's equity 71550
Figure 10: AB InBev consolidated balance sheet from half year fiancial report (Auheuser-Busch
InBev, 2022).
AB InBev’s debt-to-equity ratio (1.15) is higher remarkably than the industry beverage
(0.86), indicating that AB InBev’s structure has more debt than equity which can place
adverse effect on the performance of the firm when the industry or the economy
experience a downturn.
Figure 11: Debt/Equity Ratio of AB InBev and the industry (MSN, 2022).
13
is computed by the following formula:
Figure 12: Consolidated balance sheet from AB InBev’s half year financial report (Auheuser-
Busch InBev, 2022).
Anheuser-Busch InBev’s leverage ratio (2.97) is higher slightly than the drink and brewing
industry average (2.63), which shows that AB InBev has the structure of low equity and
more debts.
14
Figure 13: Leverage ratio of AB InBev and the industry (MSN, 2022).
d. Profitability
i. Gross Profit Margin
The gross profit margin is calculated by dividing gross profit by net sales. This ratio is the
percentage of gross profit generated by a corporation for every dollar of sales (Weygandt,
et al., 2019). The gross profit margin of AB InBev for the fiscal year ended 31 December
2021 is calculated as:
Figure 14: Consolidated income statement of AB InBev, annual report 2021 (Anheuser-
Busch InBev, 2021).
AB InBev gross profit margin indicator (57.47%) is higher considerably than the drink and
brewing industry beverage (49%), proving that AB InBev is indeed effective at generating
income from sales.
15
Figure 15: Gross margin of AB InBev and the industry (MSN, 2022).
Figure 16: Consolidated income statement of AB InBev, annual report (Anheuser-Busch InBev,

e. Market Prospect
i. Price to Earnings
The price to earnings (PE) ratio is a commonly used metric that analyzes the market price
of each common share to earnings per share. The price to earnings ratio represents
investors' expectations for a company's future profits. It is determined by dividing the
share price by the earnings per share (Weygandt, et al., 2019). As of September 4th 2022,
the trailing price to earnings ratio of AB InBev is computed by the below formula:

3. Budgets Concept
a. Definition
Budgets are essential for companies of all sizes and forms (Warren, et al., 2013). It is a key
process in the initiation of the company's strategic plan. An effective budgeting system will
assist a firm in achieving its strategic objectives by allowing management to plan and
regulate important areas of activity such as revenue, expenses, and financing options
(Franklin, et al., 2019).
Most enterprises will establish a master budget that contains two sections: operational and
financial, each with its own sub-budget. The operating budget covers numerous areas that
support in the planning and management of day-to-day operations. The financial budget
depicts the expected cash inflows and outflows, such as cash payments for planned
operations, asset purchases or sales, loan payments or financing, and changes in equity
(Franklin, et al., 2019).
22
b. Role of budgeting
Budgeting comprises of three main features: planning, directing, and controlling (Marriott, et
al., 2002).
Planning includes establishing objectives to guide decisions and motivate employees, as well
as identifying areas where operations may be improved. Directing entails making decisions
and taking actions to accomplish budgeted objectives. Controlling is comparing actual
performance to budgeted objectives, which may then be utilized to adjust future enterprise
activities (Warren, et al., 2013).
c. Benefits
According to Weygandt (2008), budgeting has various advantages, including:
Budgeting requires that all levels of management plan ahead of time and establish goals
on a recurring basis.
Budgeting defines specific goals for measuring performance at each level of
responsibility.
Budgeting assists in the organization of corporate activities. This is accomplished by
integrating the aims of each segment to the broader company objectives. As a result,
the corporation may integrate production and sales promotion with predicted sales.
Budgeting motivates employees throughout the firm to achieve predetermined
objectives.
d. Limitations
Setting excessive budget goals may discourage both employees and managers. If
budgeted goals are considered unrealistic or unattainable, the budget may have a
detrimental impact on the company's ability to achieve its objectives (Warren, et al.,
2013).
Setting budget goals that are too simple is also undesirable. This type of budget "padding"
is known as budgetary slack, which can lead to inefficiency by reducing the budgetary
incentive to cut spending (Warren, et al., 2013).
