Given the following income statement:

Net Sales 200
Cost of Goods Sold 55
Gross Profit 145
Operating Expenses 30
Operating Profit (EBIT) 115
Interest 15
Earnings Before Taxes (EBT) 100
Taxes 40
Earnings After Taxes (EAT) 60

What are the interest coverage ratio and the net profit margin?

Interest Coverage Ratio Net Profit Margin

A)
2.63 0.30
B)
0.57 0.56
C)
7.67 0.30



Interest coverage ratio = (EBIT / interest expense) = (115 / 15) = 7.67

Net profit margin = (net income / net sales) = (60 / 200) = 0.30

The following footnote appeared in Crabtree Company’s 20X7 annual report:

“On December 31, 20X7, Crabtree recognized a restructuring charge of $20 million, of which $5 million was for severance pay for employees who will be terminated in 20X8 and $15 million was for land that became permanently impaired in 20X7.”
Based only on these changes, Crabtree’s net profit margin and fixed asset turnover ratio in 20X8 as compared to 20X7 will be?

Net profit margin

Fixed asset turnover

A)

Higher

Unchanged
B)

Higher

Higher
C)

Lower

Higher



The restructuring charge and asset write-down are non-recurring transactions; thus, net income will be higher in 20X8, all else equal. In 20X8, fixed asset turnover will be the same as 20X7, all else equal. The asset impairment charge is a one-time charge, so fixed assets will not be reduced further in 20X8.

A firm has a cash conversion cycle of 80 days. The firm's payables turnover goes from 11 to 12, what happens to the firm's cash conversion cycle? It:

A)

shortens.

B)

lengthens.

C)

may shorten or lengthen.




CCC = collection period + Inv Period – Payment period.

Payment period = (365 / payables turnover) = (365 / 11) = 33; (365 / 12) = 30. This means the CCC actually increased to 83.

Adams Co.'s common sized balance sheet shows that:

What are Adams' long-term debt to equity ratio and working capital?

        Debt to Equity    Working Capital

A)

0.78  

$500

B)

0.78  

$250

C)

1.22 

$500




If equity equals 45% of assets, and current liabilities equals 20%,  then long-term debt must be 35%.
Long-Term Debt / Equity = 0.35 / 0.45 = 0.78

Working capital = CA ? CL = 45% - 20% = 25% of assets
WC = 2,000(0.25) = $500

Total assets = $1,400

What is Delta's after-tax return on equity?

A)
9.6%.
B)
18.0%.
C)
5.0%.



Net income after taxes = 300 × 0.18 = 54
Equity = 1400 × 0.40 = 560
ROE = Net Income / Equity = 54 / 560 = 0.0964 = 9.6%

Assume a firm with a debt to equity ratio of 0.50 and debt equal to $35 million makes a commitment to acquire raw materials with a present value of $12 million over the next 3 years. For purposes of analysis the best estimate of the debt to equity ratio should be:

A)
0.671.
B)
0.500.
C)
0.573.



The original debt / equity ratio = 35 / 70 = 0.5. Now adjust the numerator but not the denominator. Why? You have commitments (liabilities) but no new equity because (non-current) liabilities and assets are increased by the same amount. D/E = (35 + 12) / 70 = 0.671.

A)

3 million.

B)

5 million.

C)

2 million.




Cash ratio = (cash + marketable securities) / current liabilities

Average inventory processing period = 365 / 2 = 183 days

Payables turnover ratio = $800,000 / $600,000 = 1.333
Payables payment period = 365 / 1.333 = 273.82 or 274 days

Which of the following is least likely a routinely used operating profitability ratio?

A)
Net income/net sales.
B)
Sales/Total Assets

Are the following ratios best classified as profitability ratios?

Ratio #1 – Cash plus short-term marketable investments plus receivables divided by average daily cash expenditures.

Ratio #2 – Earnings before interest and taxes divided by average total assets.

A)
Only one of the ratios is a profitability ratio.
B)
Both of the ratios are profitability ratios.
C)
Neither of the ratios is a profitability ratio.


(Cash + short-term marketable investments + receivables) divided by average daily cash expenditures is known as the defensive interval ratio. The defensive interval ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures the firm’s ability to pay cash expenditures in the absence of external cash flows, but does not directly measure profitability. EBIT / average total assets is one variation of the return on assets ratio. Return on assets is a profitability ratio that measures the efficiency of managing assets and generating profits.

An analyst has collected the following data about a firm:

What is the cash conversion cycle?

A)

Not enough information is given.

B)

26 days.

C)

56 days.




Cash conversion cycle = receivables collection period + inventory processing period – payables payment period.

Receivables collection period = (365 / 20) = 18
Inventory processing period = (365 / 16) = 23
Payables payment period = (365 / 24) = 15
Cash conversion cycle = 18 + 23 – 15 = 26

A company has a receivables turnover of 10, an inventory turnover of 5, and a payables turnover of 12. The company’s cash conversion cycle is closest to:

A)
30 days.
B)
37 days.
C)
79 days.



Cash conversion cycle = receivables days + inventory processing days – payables payment period.
Receivables days = 365 / receivables turnover = 365 / 10 = 36.5 days.
Inventory processing days = 365 / inventory turnover = 365 / 5 = 73.0 days.
Payables payment period = 365 / payables turnover = 365 / 12 = 30.4 days.
Cash collection cycle = 36.5 + 73.0 – 30.4 = 79.1 days.

An analyst gathered the following data about a company:

If the company would like a current ratio of 2, they could:

A)
decrease current assets by 100 or increase current liabilities by 50.
B)
increase current assets by 100 or decrease current liabilities by 50.
C)
increase current assets by 100 or increase current liabilities by 50.



For the current ratio to equal 2.0, current assets would need to move to $600 (or up by $100) or current liabilities would need to decrease to $250 (or down by $50). Remember that CA ? CL = working capital (500 ? 300 = 200).

Goldstar Manufacturing has an accounts receivable turnover of 10.5 times, an inventory turnover of 4 times, and payables turnover of 8 times. What is Goldstar’s cash conversion cycle?

A)
80.38 days.
B)
6.50 days.
C)
171.64 days.


The cash conversion cycle = average receivables collection period + average inventory processing period – payables payment period. The average receivables collection period = 365 / average receivables turnover or 365 / 10.5 = 34.76. The average inventory processing period = 365 / inventory turnover or 365 / 4 = 91.25. The payables payment period = 365 / payables turnover ratio = 365 / 8 = 45.63. Putting it all together: cash conversion cycle = 34.76 + 91.25 – 45.63 = 80.38.

Wells Incorporated reported the following common size data for the year ended December 31, 20X7:

Income Statement %
Sales 100.0
Cost of goods sold 58.2
Operating expenses 30.2
Interest expense 0.7
Income tax 5.7
Net income 5.2

Balance sheet % %
Cash 4.8 Accounts payable 15.0
Accounts receivable 14.9 Accrued liabilities 13.8
Inventory 49.4 Long-term debt 23.2
Net fixed assets 30.9 Common equity 48.0
Total assets 100.00 Total liabilities & equity 100.0

For 20X6, Wells reported sales of $183,100,000 and for 20X7, sales of $215,600,000. At the end of 20X6, Wells’ total assets were $75,900,000 and common equity was $37,800,000. At the end of 20X7, total assets were $95,300,000. Calculate Wells’ current ratio and return on equity ratio for 20X7.

 

Current ratio

Return on equity

A)

2.4

26.8%

B)

2.4

26.4%

C)

4.6

25.2%




The current ratio is equal to 2.4 [(4.8% cash + 14.9% accounts receivable + 49.4% inventory) / (15.0% accounts payable + 13.8% accrued liabilities)]. This ratio can be calculated from the common size balance sheet because the percentages are all on the same base amount (total).

Return on equity is equal to net income divided by average total equity. Since this ratio mixes an income statement item and a balance sheet item, it is necessary to convert the common-size inputs to dollars. Net income is $11,211,200 ($215,600,000 × 5.2%) and average equity is $41,772,000 [($95,300,000 × 48.0%) + $37,800,000] / 2. Thus, 2007 ROE is 26.8% ($11,211,200 net income / $41,772,000 average equity).

Which of the following ratios would least likely measure liquidity?

A)
Quick ratio.
B)
Return on assets (ROA).
C)
Current ratio.


ROA = (EBIT / average total assets) which measures management's ability and efficiency in using the firm's assets to generate operating profits. Other ratios that measure liquidity (if a company can pay its current bills) besides the quick, cash, and current ratios are the: receivables turnover, inventory turnover, and payables turnover ratios.

Eagle Manufacturing Company reported the following selected financial information for 2007:

Accounts payable turnover

5.0

Cost of goods sold

$30 million

Average inventory

$3 million

Average receivables

$8 million

Total liabilities

$35 million

Interest expense

$2 million

Cash conversion cycle

13.5 days

Assuming 365 days in the calendar year, calculate Eagle's sales for the year.

A)
$58.4 million.
B)
$52.3 million.
C)
$57.8 million.



Set up the cash conversion cycle formula and solve for the missing variable, sales. Days in payables is equal to 73 [365 / 5 accounts payable turnover]. Days in inventory is equal to 36.5 [365 / ($30 million COGS / $3 million average inventory)]. Given the cash conversion cycle, days in inventory, and days in payables, calculate days in receivables of 50 [13.5 days cash conversion cycle + 73 days in payables – 36.5 days in inventory]. Given days in receivables of 50 and average receivables of $8 million, sales are $58.4 million [($8 million average receivables / 50 days) × 365].

Given the following information about a firm:

What are the gross and operating profit margins?

Gross Operating Margin Operating Profit Margin

A)
40% 10%
B)
40% 20%
C)
20% 15%



Gross profit margin = ($1,000 net sales ? $600 COGS) / $1,000 net sales = 400 / 1,000 = 0.4

Operating profit margin = ($1,000 net sales ? $600 COGS ? $200 operating expenses) / $1,000 net sales = $200 / $1000 = 0.2

As of December 31, 2007, Manhattan Corporation had a quick ratio of 2.0, current assets of $15 million, trade payables of $2.5 million, and receivables of $3 million, and inventory of $6 million. How much were Manhattan’s current liabilities?

A)
$4.5 million.
B)
$12.0 million.
C)
$7.5 million.



Manhattan’s quick assets were equal to $9 million ($15 million current assets – $6 million inventory). Given a quick ratio of 2.0, quick assets were twice the current liabilities. Thus, the current liabilities must have been $4.5 million ($9 million quick assets / 2.0 quick ratio).

During 2007, Brownfield Incorporated purchased $140 million of inventory. For the year just ended, Brownfield reported cost of goods sold of $130 million. Inventory at year-end was $45 million. Calculate inventory turnover for the year.

A)
3.25.
B)
3.71.
C)
2.89.


First, calculate beginning inventory given COGS, purchases, and ending inventory. Beginning inventory was $35 million [$130 million COGS + $45 million ending inventory – $140 million purchases]. Next, calculate average inventory of $40 million [($35 million beginning inventory + $45 million ending inventory) / 2]. Finally, calculate inventory turnover of 3.25 [$130 million COGS / $40 million average inventory].

An analyst has gathered the following information about a company:

What is the value of this firm’s average inventory processing period using a 365-day year?

A)

0.7 days.

B)

252.7 days.

C)

1.4 days.




COGS = (0.65)($1,000,000) = $650,000

Inventory turnover = CGS / Inventory = $650,000 / $450,000 = 1.4444

Average Inventory Processing Period = 365 / 1.4444 = 252.7 days
