Homework Assignment for Week 4:

• Prepare a ratio analysis for the fiscal year ended Dec 31, 2012. Organize your analysis per the following outline:

(1) Liquidity - Current ratio: current assets/ current liabilities= 25,000/17,000 = 1.47% - Quick ratio: current assets-inventory/ current liabilities= 25,000-17,000 / 17,000 = .25 (note: 17,000 cancels itself out) Comments on liquidity: Cannot tell if these ratios are good or bad without more information on the company’s situation or past years.

(2) Asset management - Total Asset turnover: sales/ total assets= 10,000/40,000= .25 - Average collection period (ACP): A/R/ average credit sales per day= 3,000/ (10,000/365) = 3,000/ 27 = 111 days Comments on asset management: Joe’s Is producing $0.25 for each $1 of assets. This cannot be further explained without more information. Joe’s customers take over 111 days to pay their bills.

(3) Debt management - Debt ratio: total liabilities/ total assets= 20,000/ 40,000= .5 or 50% - Times interest earned: earnings before interest and taxes(EBIT)/ interest ex.=
3,000/200 = 15 Comments on debt management: Joes is not in large debt because it is not equal to their total liabilities as long as they keep their accounts payable low and do not borrow more money than their assets can outweigh, this includes their long term debt. Joes EBIT could drop 2,800 and they could still make interest payments. Joe’s ratio of 15 means the income is 15 times greater than the annual interest expense.

(4) Profitability - Net profit margin: Net income/sales= 1,800/10,000= 18% - Return on Assets (ROA)= Net income/ total assets= 1,800/40,000=.045 or 4.5% - Return on Equity (ROE)= Net income/ total equity=1,800/20,000= .09 or 9% - Extended Du Pont equation=
ROE= Net income/sales x Sales/total assets x Total Assets/total (common) equity = .09 = .18 x .25 x 2.0 Comments on profitability to include your comments on the

    The accounts receivable management ratios show a collection period that’s 9 days lower than the industry average.

    The strength of Mark X as a company is its fixed assets turnover ratio, which rose from 1990 to 1992. This tells us Mark X 's ability to generate net sales from each addition of a fixed asset. Sales generated from the fixed assets are greater than the costs of the fixed assets, which imply that the fixed assets that were purchased are good investments for the company. This is really the only positive ratio they have at the moment. Weaknesses we found in Mark X were its debt ratio, which increased from 40.47% in 1990 to 46.33% in 1991 and from 46.33% to 59.80% in 1992. This shows us Mark X 's amount of debt relative to its assets is increasing and that its debt is equal to more than half of its assets by 1992. The current ratio and quick ratio has also indicated negative change, both decreasing between 1990 and 1992. The current ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company 's ability to pay short term obligations, while the quick ratio shows a company 's ability to pay its short-term obligations with its most liquid assets. Both ratios are steadily decreasing, indicating to us the position of the company has become less and less favorable.…

    Liquidity ratios, like the current ratio, provide information about a firm's ability to meet its short time financial obligations. Short-term creditors seek a high current ratio from prospective clients since it reduces their risk. For investors in a company, such as shareholders, a lower ratio is sought, so that more of a firm's assets are working to grow the business. When computing financial relationships, a good indication of the company's financial strengths and weaknesses becomes clear. Examining these ratios over time provides insight as to how effectively the business is being operated. The general consensus on liquidity ratios is; the higher the better, especially if a firm is reliant on any significant extent on creditors to finance their assets.…
