2.4 The balance sheet in Table P2.4 summarizes the financial conditions for Flex Inc., an electronic outsourcing contractor, for fiscal-year 2009. Unlike Nano Networks in Problem 2.3, Flex has reported a profit for several years running. Compute the various financial ratios and interpret the firm's financial health during fiscal-year 2009. Note that the balance sheet and the income statement entries in this problem are not complete. Only relevant entries are listed. Do not attempt to add individual entries to confirm either current assets or current liabilities. (a) Debt ratico (b) Times-interest-earned ratio (c) Current ratio (d) Quick (acid-test) ratio (e) Inventory turnover ratio (f) Day's sales outstanding (g) Total assets turnover (h) Profit margin on sales (i) Return on total assets G) Return on common equity (k) Price-to-earnings ratio. Assume a stock price of US$65 per share. (1) Book value per share. Assume that 247,004,200 shares were outstanding.

Answer 1

a) Debt Ratio = Total Liabilities/Total Assets

= $2,041,876/$4,834,696

= 0.42

Working note: $2,041,876 ($4,834,696 - $2,792,820)

Hence, the debt ratio is 0.42.

b) Times-Interest-Earned Ratio = Earnings before Interest and Tax expense (EBIT) or Net Income + Interest Expense + Tax Expense/Interest Expense

= ($293,935 + $36,479 + $138,407)/$36,479

= $468,821/$36,479

= 12.85

Hence, Times-Interest-Earned Ratio is 12.85.

c) Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

= $3,994,084/$1,113,186

= 3.59

Hence, Current Ratio is 3.59.

d) Quick (acidity test) ratio = Current Assets - Inventory/Current Liabilities

= $3,994,084 - $1,080,083/$1,113,186

= $2,914,001/$1,113,186

= 2.62

Hence, Quick (acidity test) ratio is 2.62.
