To Calculate: The financial leverage (or) Equity multiplier of two firms.
(4)
Explanation of Solution
When the return on shareholders’ equity is greater than the return on assets, management is using debt funds to enhance the earnings for stockholders. Both firms do this. Company R has higher leverage than Company M which is used to provide a higher return to shareholders, even though its return on assets is less.
Determine the Equity multiplier of two firms:
Company R increased its return to shareholders 4.07 times (43.6% ÷ 10.7%) the return on assets. Company M increased its return to shareholders 2.34 times (34.6% ÷ 14.8%) the return on assets.
(5)
To identify: Of the two companies, which company appears riskier in terms of its ability to pay short-term obligations
(5)
Explanation of Solution
Determine the short term obligations of the two firms:
The current ratios of the two firms are comparable and within the range of the rule-of-thumb standard of 1 to 1. Acid-test ratio reveals that Company M is more liquid than Company R.
(6)
To identify: The efficient management of current assets.
(6)
Explanation of Solution
Receivables turnover ratio indicates how quickly a company is able to collect its
Inventory turnover ratio is used to determine the number of times inventory used or sold during the particular accounting period.
Determine the management of current assets through receivables turnover and inventory turnover of both the firms.
Company R receivables turnover is more rapid than Company M. Hence, its relative liquidity is not as bad as its acid-test ratio indicated.
(7)
To Identify: The creditor point of view, which company offers the most suitable margin of safety in terms of its ability to pay fixed interest charges?
(7)
Explanation of Solution
Times interest earned ratio quantifies the number of times the earnings before interest and taxes the business pay for the interest expense.
Determine the times interest earned ratio of both the firm:
Hence, Company M and Company R provides an adequate margin of safety in terms of its ability to pay fixed interest charges.
