Practice As You Learn

 

You will be required to calculate ratios given a balance sheet and an income statement.

Some professors will require you to memorize the formulas, others will not.
Please check with your professor for what is required for your class.

Things to remember:

Average = Beginning (last year) + Ending (current year) / 2

Liquidity ratios will always involve current assets and current liabilities and will be used to determine if the company has or will have enough cash to pay liabilities

Accounts Receivable Turnover and Inventory Turnover are used to determine how
quickly these assets will be turned into cash.

Leverage ratios are used to determine if the company has incurred too much debt.

“Return” and “Margin” are % and are always net income divided by ….

Important: Textbooks differ. Check your textbook to make sure the most common ratios on this website are the same as your textbook. If not, add the ratios that your professor wants you to know.

Answer

Answers to Practice Problem – Ratios – Financial Statement Analysis

A. Current Ratio:

Current Assets
Current Liabilities

$178,000 / $200,000 = 0.89

B. Quick Ratio:

Cash + Short-term Investments + Receivables (liquid assets)
Current Liabilities

$15,000 + $50,000 + $22,000 / $200,000 = 0.435

C. Accounts Receivable Turnover:

                  Net Sales                    
Average Accounts Receivables

5,400,000 x 10% = 540,000
Net credit sales (cash sales are not A/R)

28,000 + 22,000 / 2 = $25,000 average accounts receivable $540,000 / $25,000 = 21.6 x per year

D. Average Collection Period:

               365                      
Accounts Receivable Turnover

365 / 21.6 = 16.9 days to collect

E. Inventory Turnover:

Cost of Goods Sold
Average Inventory

Average inventory = 85,000 + 79,000 / 2 = 82,000
$3,200,000 / $82,000 = 39 x per year

F. Days Inventory in Warehouse:

              365             
Inventory turnover

365 / 39 = 9.36 days in the warehouse

G. Debt to Total Assets:

Total Liabilities
Total Assets

$425,000 / $546,000 = 77.8%

H. Debt to Equity:

Total Liabilities
Total Stockholder’s Equity

$425,000 / $121,000 = 3.51x

I. Return on Stockholder’s Equity:

               Net Income                
Average Stockholder’s Equity

$306,000 / $115,000 = 266%

109,000 + 121,000 / 2 = 115,000

J. Return on Assets:

        Net Income 
Average Total Assets

$306,000 / $522,000 = 58.6%

498,000 + 546,000 / 2 = $522,000

K. Profit Margin:

Net Income
Sales

$306,000 / $5,400,000 = 5.67%

L. Earnings Per Share:

Net Income – Preferred Dividends          
Weighted Average Number of Common Shares

$306,000 – 0 / 250,000 = $1.22 per share

M. Price-Earnings Ratio:

Market Price 
Earnings Per Share

$35 / $1.22 = 28.7x
