SOLVED PROBLEMS
1) A Firms current assets and current liabilities are 1600 and 1000 respectively. How much can it borrow on a short term basis without reducing the current ratio below 1.25? Solution Let the maximum short term borrowings be B. The current ratio with this borrowing should be 1.25. 1600+ B 1000+ B Solving this equation , we get B = 1400. Hence the maximum permissible short term borrowing is 1400. 2) Determine the cost of goods sold of a firm given the following information: Current Ratio Acid Test Ratio Current Liabilities Inventory Turnover Ratio Solution The cost of goods sold figures may be derived as follows: Current assets = Current liabilities * Current ratio =1,600*1.4 = 2240 = 1.4 = 1.2 = 1,600 =8 = 1.25
Current assets-Inventories
=1,600 *1.2 =1,920 Inventories Sales =2,240-1920= 320 =Inventories*inventories turnover ratio =320*8 = 2,560
3) The following ratios are given for Mintex Company Net profit Margin ratio Current ratio Return on net worth = 4% =1.25 =15.23 %
Total debt to total assets ratio =0.4 Inventory turnover ratio =25
Complete the following statements Profit and Loss Account Rs. Sales Cost of goods sold Operating expenses PBIT Interest PBT Tax provisions(50%) PAT ------------------------------700 ------
Balance Sheet Net Worth Long Term Debt(10% interest) Short Term Debt(10.42% interest) ---Fixed Assets Current Assets -------------------Cash Receivables Inventory 180 ----
Solution: The blanks in the above statements may be filled as follows: a) Short term debt. The value of the short term debt the only current liabilities is derived as follows.
Current assets 180 Current liailities = ----------------------- = -------- = 144 1.25 1.25
b) Long term debt. The long term debt carries 10% interest rate. Hence the long term debt is equal to Interest -.1042(144) 45-15 -------------------------- = -------- = 300 0.10 c) Total Assets: As the ratio of the total debt to total assets is 0 .4, total assets(the total of the balance sheet) is simply: Total Debt 144 +300
d) Net Worth: The difference between the total assets and the total debt represents the net worth. Hence it is equal to: 1110-(444)=666 e)Fixed Assets: The difference between the total assets and the current assets represents fixed assets. So , Fixed Assets = 1110-180 = 930
f) Profit after tax(PAT): This is equal to: net worth * return on net worth = 666*0.1523 =101.40 g)Tax : As the tax rate is 50 %, the tax provision is simply equal to the profit after tax ,i.e,101.4 h) Profit before tax :The sum of the profit after tax and the tax provisions is equal to the profit before tax. So ,it is equal to: 101.4 + 101.4 = 202.8
i) Profit before interest and taxes: This is equal to profit before tax plus the interest payment .Hence it is equal to: 202.8 + 45 = 247.8 j) sales : The figure of sales may be derived as follows: Profit after tax 101.4
k) Cost of goods sold : This figure of cost of goods sold may be derived from the following accounting identity: Sales- Cost of goods sold operating expenses = PBIT 2535- cost of goods sold 700 = 247. 8 Hence the figure of cost of goods sold is l) Inventory: This is equal to: cogs ------------------------------- = Inventory turnover ratio 1587.2 -------------- = 63 25 1587.2

b. Set up the DuPont equation Solution a. Current ratio = Current assets, loans and advances + current investments Current liabilities and provisions + short term debt
= 355 + 10 = 1.52 150 + 90 Interpretation: One unit of current liability is supported by 1.52 units of current assets. Acid-test ratio = Quick assets Current liabilities = 365 160 = 0.85 240
Interpretation: One unit of current liability is supported by 0.85 units of quick assets. Thus huge load of inventory is indicated by significant difference between current ratio and quick ratio. Cash ratio = Cash and bank balances + Current investment Current liabilities = 25 + 10 = 0.15 240
Debt-equity ratio =

Interest

Thus we have 4.9 units of PBIT available for one unit of interest. Fixed charges coverage ratio = PBIT + Depreciation Interest + Repayment of loan 1-Tax rate Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold Average inventory = 805 (160 + 138)/2 = 170 +50 35+90 1- .37 = 5.40 = 1.24
Thus inventory are turned into outputs 5.4 times in a year. Thus average day of supply between two consecutive supply is 365/5.4= 66 days. Debtors turnover = Net credit sales = 1065 = 9.06 Average debtors (120 + 115)/2 Debtors are turning into cash approx 9times in a year. Average collection period = 365 365 = 40.3 days Debtors turnover = 9.06 On an average basis debtors are turning into cash after every 40 days. Thus we have effective credit policy.

Gross profit = 260 = 24.4% Net sales 1065 Interpretation: It is favourable as it shows efficiency of production.
Net profit = 85 = 7.98% Net sales 1065 Interpretation: It is unfavourable as net profit ratio is very low and it means firm has very much indirect expenses.
Return on assets
Interpretation: This is favourable as the assets invested in the business are giving satisfactory return.
