Toyota Motors is a well-known company who sales millions of vehicles a year. One
would think they were a company in the lead, they are but not in the area you would think.
Toyota Motors is the most indebted corporation with a total liability for the end of the June 2023
quarter was $356.655 Billion, a 6.17% increase year-over-year.
(Marcotrends, 2023)
Rising
interest rates ultimately make debt more expensive, meaning more cash is needed to cover
interest costs. Toyota having a poor debt to equity ratio, 0.58 at the end of June 2023 quarter
(Marcotrends, 2023),
gives the company less flexibility to invest in long-term growth. High
interest rates make long-term loans more of a burden and short-term loans less accessible. With
high interest rates, a higher credit is needed to be approved for a loan, and if you do get approved
the interest rate may be too high, further sinking the company into debt. Not only do high interest
rates affect a company’s finances, but they also affect the consumers’ finances. High interest
rates make the cost of living to be high along with the amount of debt increase, with tight
finances, consumers stop spending freely and cut out unnecessary spending. Finally, high interest
rates make it difficult to financially plan for growth. A business’s finances are the foundation of
its operation, so it is important for the company to understand its expenses, cash flow, and
profits. Changes in interest rates, like we have seen, make planning hard and finances confusing.
(Smith, 2023)
Toyota Motors has a current ratio of 1.11.
(Marcotrends, 2023)
A good current
ratio is between 1.2 to 2, which means that the business has 2 times more current assets than
liabilities to cover its debts. (FreshBooks, 2023)
Toyota is not doing poorly in reference to their
current ratio. I think that Toyota Motors is in trouble with the amount of debt they have collected
over the past few years, but I do think they have the ability to recover and profit. With the more
technology driven trends, the focus of “what can my car do for me”, and the importance of
comfort our world is experiencing Toyota has the ability to deliver exactly what consumers want
in a car. I think they just have to be careful about their money and how they spend it.
Smith, P. (2023, October 9).

REPLY TO PEER POST
Hi ---,
I also used an auto manufacturer as my company to write about for this discussion. I
was shocked to learn the large amounts of debt that these companies keep on their
balance sheets. I found myself falling into the Research and Development rabbit
hole when trying to understand this large amount of debt. I feel that the easiest way
for these companies to reduce their long-term debt is to not use all of their
resources on fully electric vehicles. They may be “in trend” at the moment but I
think the amount of fully electric vehicles that will continue to sell will decline over
the next decade or so.

Problem 1
In 2020, Plumpton Company started selling new computer that carried a 2-year warranty against defects
Plumpton sold P5,000,000 computers evenly throughout 2020. 50% of the sales are expected to be repaired in 2020 and the rest in 2021.
The entity estimated that 80% of the products will have no defects. 5% will have major defects and 15% will have minor defects. If all products were to have major defects the total cost would be 2,000,000. But, if all products were to have minor defects the total repairs would only cost 500,000. The appropriate risk-adjustment factor should be 5% for the probability weighted estimated cash flows.
How much is the warranty expense for 2020?
