Question 1
(a) Based on the given financial statements, calculate the
following ratios for 2018. Explain the consequence if a calculated
ratio is significantly lower than its corresponding industry
average.
(i) Quick ratio
(ii) Average collection period
(iii) Fixed asset turnover
(iv) Operating profit margin
(v) Times interest earned ratio
(vi) Degree of financial leverage (DFL)
(b) Compute Acme Corporation’s return on equity for 2018 using the
Du Pont technique.
a) Ratio calculations for 2018:
i) Quick ratio =( Current assets - Inventory )/ Current liabilities
Quick ratio = (1332 - 440) / 700 = 1.27
Analysis: If this ratio is lower than industry average ratio then it leads to inefficiency in financial performance than industry avarage. As this ratio should be higher for better performance.
ii) Average collection period = 365 days / Accounts receivables turnover ratio
Here,
Accounts recievables turnover ratio = Net credit sales / Average accounts recievables
Accounts recievables turnover ratio = 3000 / ((560 + 600)/2) = 3000 / 580 = 5.17
Now, put the figures into formula,
Average collection period = 365/5.17 = 70.60 days
Analysis : If average collection period is lower than industry average then this is good & positive sign for receivables recovery. As lower ratio is preferred generally.
iii) Fixed assets turnover = Net sales / Average fixed assets
Fixed assets turnover = 3000 / ((1300 + 1400)/2)
Fixed assets turnover = 3000 / 1350 = 2.22
Analysis : If this ratio is lower than industry average then this shows negative performance of the firm. As higher ratio indicates greater efficiency.
iv) Operating margin profit = Operating profit(EBIT)/Sales = 500/3000 = 0.1667 or 16.67%
Analysis : Higher ratio is indication of greater profit margin. If this ratio is lower than industry average then this indicates the lower profit margin than industry average.
v) Times interest earned ratio = EBIT / Interest
Times interest earned ratio = 500 / 100 = 5
Analysis : If this ratio is lower than industry average then there is lower efficiency. As higher ratio indicates higher efficiency.
vi) Degree of financial leverage = EBIT / (EBIT - Interest)
Degree of financial leverage=500/(500 - 100)=1.25
Analysis : If this ratio is lower than industry average then it is positive sign which shows lower risk. As lower ratio indiactes lower risk burden.
b) Return on equity (ROE) using Dupont technique (2018)
= Profit margin * Total assets turnover * Equity multiplier
ROE using Dupont = (Net income/Net sales) * (Net sales /Total assets) * (Total assets / Total equity)
ROE using DuPont = (332/3000) * (3000/2732) * (2732/1142(note))
ROE using DuPont = 0.1107 * 1.0981 * 2.3923
ROE using DuPont = 0.2908 or 29.08%
Note: Total equity = Common stock + Additional paid up capital + retained earnings
Total equity = 100 + 200 + 842 = 1142
