Explanation / Answer

1. Calculate the four risk ratios listed above for Adrian Express in 2012.

Solution-

Receivable turnover ratio = Net Credit Sales / Average account receivables

Receivable turnover ratio = $21,000,000 / ($1,820,000 + $1,420,000) / 2

Receivable turnover ratio = 12.96 times

Average collection period = 365 / Receivable turnover

Average collection period = 365 /12.96

Average collection period = 28.16 Days

Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average Inventory

Inventory turnover ratio = $12,600,000 / ($1,800,000 + $1,400,000) / 2

Inventory turnover ratio = $12,600,000 / $1,600,000

Inventory turnover ratio = 7.87 times

Average days in inventory = 365 / Inventory turnover

Average days in inventory = 365 / 7.87

Average days in inventory = 36.37 days

Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities

Current ratio = $4,300 / $2,260

Current ratio = 1.90 to 1

Debt to equity ratio = Total liabilities / Total shareholders' equity

Debt to equity ratio = $4,860 / $4,640

Debt to equity ratio = 104.75%

2. Do you think the company is more risky or less risky than the industry averages?

Solution-

Adrian Express is more risky from the industry averages because inventory turnover ratio, receivable turnover ration and current ratio are worse from the industry average and the Debt to equity ratio is more worse from industry average of 50%.
