Explanation of Solution
1. Working capital
Working capital is determined as the difference between current assets and current liabilities.
Formula:
2. Current ratio
Current ratio is used to determine the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. The ideal current ratio is 2:1. Current assets include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, net, accounts and notes receivables, net, inventories, and prepaid expenses and other current assets. Current liabilities include short-term obligations and accounts payable.
Formula:
3. Quick ratio
Acid-Test Ratio is the ratio denotes that this ratio is a more rigorous test of solvency than the current ratio. It is determined by dividing quick assets and current liabilities. The acceptable acid-test ratio is 0.90 to 1.00. It is referred as quick ratio. Use the following formula to determine the acid-test ratio:
4. Accounts receivable turnover
Accounts receivables turnover ratio is mainly used to evaluate the collection process efficiency. It helps the company to know the number of times the accounts receivable is collected in a particular time period. Main purpose of accounts receivable turnover ratio is to manage the working capital of the company. This ratio is determined by dividing credit sales and sales return.
Formula:
Average accounts receivable is determined as follows:
5. Number of days’ sales in receivables
Number of days’ sales in receivables is used to determine the number of days a particular company takes to collect accounts receivables.
Formula:
Average daily sales are determined by dividing sales by 365 days.
6. Inventory turnover ratio
Inventory turnover ratio is used to determine the number of times inventory used or sold during the particular accounting period.
Formula:
Average inventory is determined as below:
7. Number of days sales in inventory ratio
Number of days’ sales in inventory is determined as the number of days a particular company takes to make sales of the inventory available with them.
Formula:
Average daily cost of goods sold are determined by dividing cost of goods sold by 365 days. Thus, average daily cost of goods sold are determined as follows:
8. Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities
Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities is determined by dividing fixed assets and long-term liabilities.
Formula:
9.Ratio of liabilities to stockholders’ equity
Ratio of liabilities to stockholders’ equity is determined by dividing liabilities and stockholders’ equity.
Formula:
10.Number of times interest charges are earned
Number of times interest charges are earned ratio quantifies the number of times the earnings before interest and taxes can pay the interest expense. First, determine the sum of income before income tax and interest expense. Then, divide the sum by interest expense.
Formula:
11. Number of times preferred dividends are earned
Number of times preferred dividends are determined by dividing net income and preferred dividends.
Formula:
12. Ratio of sales to assets
Ratio of sales to assets is used to determine the asset’s efficiency towards sales.
Formula:
Working notes for average total assets are as follows:
13. Rate earned on total assets
Rate earned on total assets determines the particular company’s overall earning power. It is determined by dividing sum of net income and interest expense and average total assets.
Formula:
14. Rate earned on stockholders’ equity
Rate earned on stockholders’ equity is used to determine the relationship between the net income and the average equity that are invested in the company.
Formula:
Average stockholders’ equity is determined as follows:
15. Rate earned on common stockholders’ equity
Rate earned on stockholders’ equity is used to determine the relationship between the net income and the average common equity that are invested in the company.
Formula:
Average common stockholders’ equity is determined as follows:
16. Earnings per share on common stock
A portion of profit that an individual earns from each share is referred to earnings per share.
Formula:
17. Price earnings ratio
Price/earnings ratio is used to determine the profitability of a company. This ratio is abbreviated as P/E.
Formula:
18.Dividend per share of common stock
Dividend per share of commons stock is determined by dividing dividend per common stock and shares of common stock.
Formula:
19.Dividend yield ratio
Dividend yield ratio is determined to evaluate the relationship between the annual dividend per share and the market price per share.
Formula:
Thus, summary table of determined ratios are below:
