Viacom Management Efficiency

Viacom's management efficiency ratios could be used to measure how well Viacom manages its routine affairs as well as how well it operates its assets and liabilities.
The company currently holds 8.74 B in liabilities with Debt to Equity (D/E) ratio of 99.7, indicating the company may have difficulties to generate enough cash to satisfy its financial obligations. Viacom Inc has a current ratio of 1.35, which is within standard range for the sector. Debt can assist Viacom until it has trouble settling it off, either with new capital or with free cash flow. So, Viacom's shareholders could walk away with nothing if the company can't fulfill its legal obligations to repay debt. However, a more frequent occurrence is when companies like Viacom Inc sell additional shares at bargain prices, diluting existing shareholders. Debt, in this case, can be an excellent and much better tool for Viacom to invest in growth at high rates of return. When we think about Viacom's use of debt, we should always consider it together with cash and equity.
