An analyst has gathered the following information about a firm:

• Quick ratio of 0.25.
• Cash ratio of 0.20.
• $2 million in marketable securities.
• $10 million in cash.

What is their receivables balance?

A) 5 million.

B) 3 million.

C) 2 million.

---

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

0.20 = ($10,000,000 + $2,000,000) / current liabilities

current liabilities = $12,000,000 / 0.2 = $60,000,000

Quick ratio = [cash + marketable securities + receivables] / $60,000,000

0.25 = [$10,000,000 + $2,000,000 + receivables] / $60,000,000

($60,000,000)(0.25) = $12,000,000 + receivables

$15,000,000 = $12,000,000 + receivables

$15,000,000 ? $12,000,000 = receivables

$3,000,000 = receivables

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) 0.500.

B) 0.573.

C) 0.671.

---

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.
