Explanation / Answer

Answer 1.Short Term Liquidity Risk for the year 2015

Liquidity Cycle = DIO + DSO-DPO

where

DIO = Days Inventory Outstanding

DSO= Days Sales Outstanding

DPO = Days Payable Outstanding

DIO =Average Inventory / Cost of Sales per day = 133.45/1.46 = 91.40 = 91

Cost of Sales per day = 534.2/ 365 = 1.46

Average Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory / 2 = 140.6 + 126.3/2 =133.45

DSO = Average Accounts Receivable / Net Sales per day = 62.7 / 2.6 =24

Net Sales per day = 950/365 = 2.6

Average Accounts Receivable = Beginning Accounts Receivable + Ending Accounts Receivable / 2

= 53.2 +72.2 / 2 = 62.7

DPO= Average Accounts Payable / Cost of Sales per day = 94.15/ 1.46 = 64.48 = 64

Cost of Sales per day = 534.2/ 365 = 1.46

Average Accounts Payable = Beginning Accounts Payable + Ending Accounts Payable / 2

= 100.8 + 87.5 /2 = 94.15

Liquidity Cycle = DIO + DSO-DPO = 91+24-64 = 51days

CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS / CURRENT LIABLITIES = 421.2 / 327.3 = 1.28 times

Current Assets = 421.2 , Current Liabilities = 327.3

QUICK RATIO = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities = 294.9 / 327.3 = 0.9 times

Current Assets - Inventory = 421.2 - 126.3 = 294.9

CFO to Debt Ratio = Operating Cash Flow / Short term Debt = 702.2/ 327.3= 2.14

Short term Debt = Current Liabilities =327.3

Answer 2.

Financial Leverage = EBIT / EBIT - Interest = 90.7 / 90.7 -7 = 90.7 / 83.7 = 1.08

Solvency ratio = (After Tax Net Profit + Depreciation) / Total liabilities = 58.6 + 55 / 1297.4 = 0.087

Interest Coverage Ratio = EBIT / Interest Expense = 90.7/ 7 = 12.95 times

CFO to Debt Ratio = Operating Cash Flow / Total Debt = 702.2 / 1297.4 = 0.54
