Step 2:Calculations

Total asset = Total liabilities and stockholder’s equity

Therefore, total liabilities and stockholder’s equity = $7,000

Total liabilities and stockholder’s equity = Total liabilities + Stockholder's equity

Total liabilities = $7,000 - $2450

= $4,550

Total liabilities = Total current liability + Long term note payable + Other long term liabilities

Long term notes payable =$4,550 - $2,500 - $760

= $1290

Current ratio = Current asset/ Current liabilities

Current assets = 0.72x2500

= $1,800

Total asset = Plant asset + Other asset + Total current asset

Plant asset = $7,000 - $1,800 - $2,490

=$2,710

Acid ratio = (Cash + Investment + Account receivable)/ Current liabilities

Account receivable = $2,500x0.36 - $45

Account receivable = $855

Prepaid expense = Total Current Assets – Inventory – Account Receivable - Cash

= $1800 - $800 - $855 - $45

= $100

  2. a. Current ratio

    h. Profit margin ratio

    b. Cash ratio

  1. Compare the companies’ performance for 2019 and 2018. Make a recommendation to Canyon Canoe Company about investing in these companies. Which company would be a better investment, The Paddle Company or Recreational Life Vests? Base your answer on the ability to pay current liabilities, ability to sell merchandise and collect receivables, ability to pay the long-term debt, profitability, and attractiveness as an investment.

Old Mills’s income statement appears as follows (amounts in thousands):

Use the following ratio data to complete Old Mills’s income statement:


1. Inventory turnover is 3.70 (beginning Merchandise Inventory was \(810; ending

Merchandise Inventory was \)770).

2. Profit margin ratio is 14%.

Preparing common-size statements, analysis of profitability and financial position, comparison with the industry, and using ratios to evaluate a company

Consider the data for Randall Department Stores presented in Problem P15-31B.

Requirements

  1. Prepare a common-size income statement and balance sheet for Randall. The first column of each statement should present Randall’s common-size statement, and the second column, the industry averages.
  2. For the profitability analysis, compute Randall’s (a) gross profit percentage and (b) profit margin ratio. Compare these figures with the industry averages. Is Randall’s profit performance better or worse than the industry average?
  3. For the analysis of financial position, compute Randall’s (a) current ratio and (b) debt to equity ratio. Compare these ratios with the industry averages. Assume the current ratio industry average is 1.47, and the debt to equity industry average is 1.83. Is Randall’s financial position better or worse than the industry averages?
