Explanation / Answer

COMPUTATION OF RATIOS:

Net sales / Average assets

(*)Average assets = Opening + Closing assets / 2

Net income / Total assets

(*) Total assets at the end

EBIT / Total interest payable

(*) EBIT = Net sales - Cost of goods sold - Selling and administrative Expenses - Other income (expenses)

All % values have been multiplied by 100 to arrive at the figures.

S NO. RATIOS FORMULA TARGET WAL-MART 1. Current Ratio Current Assets/Current liabilities 17,000 / 10,000 = 1.7:1 49,000/55,000 = 0.89:1 2. Accounts Receivables Turnover Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivables 67,000 / 7,400 = 9.05times 410,000 / 3,800 = 107.89 times 3. Average Collection Period 365 / Average accounts Receivables turnover 365 / 9.05 = 40.33 days 365 / 107.89 = 3.38 days 4. Inventory turnover Ratio Cost of goods sold / Average inventory 44,000 / 6,900 = 6.37times 302,000 / 33,000 = 9.15times 5. Days in inventory 365 / Inventory Turnover Ratio 365 / 6.37 = 57.29 days 365 / 9.15 = 39.89 days 6. Profit Margin Net Income / Net Sales 6,515 / 67,000 = 9.72% 17,610 / 410,000 = 4.29% 7. Asset Turnover

Net sales / Average assets

(*)Average assets = Opening + Closing assets / 2

67,000 / 43,750 = 1.53 times 410,000 / 167,500 = 2.44 times 8. Return on Assets

Net income / Total assets

(*) Total assets at the end

6,515 / 44,500 = 14.64% 17,610 / 171,000 = 10.29% 9. Return on Common Stockholder's Equity Net Income / shareholder's Equity 6,515 / 13200 = 49.35% 17,610 / 64,000 = 27.51% 10. Debt to assets ratio Total Debt / Total Assets 28,200 / 44,500 = 63% 99,000 / 171,000 = 57.89% 11. Times interest earned

(*) EBIT = Net sales - Cost of goods sold - Selling and administrative Expenses - Other income (expenses)

8,615 / 700 = 12.30 times 26,610 / 2,000 = 13.305 times 12. Free cash flow Net cash provided by operating activities - Capital Expenditures 6,000-1,800 = 4,200 27,300 - 11,700 = 15,600 *----------------------* *-------------------------------------* *---------------* *-----------------*
