ANSWER:
Required a & b)
Operating cash flow to current liabilities ratio = Operating Cash Flow / Current Liabilities
Company | Operating Cash Flow (A) | Current liabilities (B) | Ratio (C = A / B) | Liquidity |
Arconic Inc. | 217 | 3,520 | 0.061 | Low |
Carmax Inc. | 163 | 1,312 | 0.124 | High |
Flowserve Corp. | 191 | 1,081 | 0.176 | High |
Fluor Corp. | 162 | 3,553 | 0.045 | Medium |
All the companies may have Liquidity difficulties as the Operating cash flow to Current Liabilities ratio is less than 1. However, Arconic Inc will have a more liquidity difficulty as compared to the other three companies.
Required c & d)
Company | Operating Cash Flow (A) | CAPEX (B) | Ratio (C = A / B) | Liquidity |
Arconic Inc. | 217 | 768 | 0.282 | Low |
Carmax Inc. | 163 | 305 | 0.534 | Medium |
Flowserve Corp. | 191 | 84 | 2.273 | High |
Fluor Corp. | 162 | 211 | 0.767 | Medium |
Yes, Arconic Inc. would have solvency difficulty.
