Explanation / Answer

Acid test ratio:

Acid test ratio = (Cash+Account receivable+Short term investment)/Current liabilities

                       = (41000+74000)/70500

                       = 1.63

Account Receivable turnover ratio:

= Net Annual Credit Sales/(Beginning Accounts Receivable + Ending Accounts Receivable) / 2

= 865000/(58700+74000)/2           

= 13.04

Average collection period = 365/13.04

                                               = 28 days

Inventory turnover:

Generally, it is calculated as:

Inventory Turnover = Sales / Inventory

                                = 865000/64900

                                = 13.33

However, it may also be calculated as:

Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory

                                 = 501700/(74000+64900)/2

                                 = 7.22

Average sales period = 365/13.33

                                       = 27 days

Average sales period = 365/7.22

                                       = 50 days

Company’s operating cycle:

In the absence of Account payable days information, we find operating cycle without it.

Operating cycle (days) = Days inventory outstanding +Days sales outstanding – Days payable outstanding

                                        = 28+27/50+0

                                        = 55/78 days

Total Asset Turnover Ratio:   

Asset Turnover = Sales or Revenues / Total Assets

                            = 865000/590000

                            = 1.47 times

Times interest earned ratio:

Times interest earned ratio = EBIT/Interest

                                                  = 206250/11000

                                                 = 18.75 times

Debt equity ratio:

Debt - Equity Ratio = Total Liabilities / Shareholders' Equity

                                   = 160000/430000

                                   = 0.37 times
Equity Multiplier:

Equity multiplier = Total assets /Total stockholder’s Equity

                               = 590000/430000

                              = 1.37
