a)
To determine: Cash conversion cycle of Company S.
a)
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Last year sales were $3,250,000,
Net profit margin is 7%,
Inventory turnover ratio is 6 times during the year,
DSO of company is 41 days,
Cost of goods sold (COGS) is $1,800,000,
Fixed assets $535,000,
Payables deferral payment period is 45 days.
Calculation of inventory and inventory conversion period:
Therefore inventory is $300,000 and inventory conversion period is 60.8333
Calculation of length of cash conversion cycle:
Hence, length of cash conversion cycle is 56.8 days.
b)
To determine: Total assets turnover ratio and
b)
Explanation of Solution
Calculation of total assets:
Hence, total assets of company are $1,200,068.49
Calculation of assets turnover ratio:
Hence assets turnover is 2.7082 times
Calculation of ROA:
Therefore, return on assets is 18.96%
c)
To determine: Cash conversion cycle, total assets turnover and ROA if inventory turnover had been 9 for the current year.
c)
Explanation of Solution
Calculation of inventory:
Therefore, inventory is $20,000
Calculation of inventory conversion period:
Therefore,
Cash conversion cycle is 36.6 days.
Hence, total assets of company are $1,100,068.49
Calculation of assets turnover ratio:
Hence assets turnover is 2.9544 times
Calculation of ROA:
Therefore, return on assets is 20.68%

Financial Management: Theory & Practice (MindTap Course List)
- The Raattama Corporation had sales of $3.5 million last year, and it earned a 5% return (after taxes) on sales. Recently, the company has fallen behind in its accounts payable. Although its terms of purchase are net 30 days, its accounts payable represents 60 days’ purchases. The company’s treasurer is seeking to increase bank borrowing in order to become current in meeting its trade obligations (that is, to have 30 days’ payables outstanding). The company’s balance sheet is as follows (in thousands of dollars): How much bank financing is needed to eliminate the past-due accounts payable? Assume that the bank will lend the firm the amount calculated in part a. The terms of the loan offered are 8%, simple interest, and the bank uses a 360-day year for the interest calculation. What is the interest charge for 1 month? (Assume there are 30 days in a month.) Now ignore part b and assume that the bank will lend the firm the amount calculated in part a. The terms of the loan are 7.5%, add-on interest, to be repaid in 12 monthly installments. What is the total loan amount? What are the monthly installments? What is the APR of the loan? What is the effective rate of the loan? Would you, as a bank loan officer, make this loan? Why or why not?arrow_forwardThe Berndt Corporation expects to have sales of 12 million. Costs other than depreciation are expected to be 75% of sales, and depreciation is expected to be 1.5 million. All sales revenues will be collected in cash, and costs other than depreciation must be paid for during the year. Berndts federal-plus-state tax rate is 40%. Berndt has no debt. a. Set up an income statement. What is Berndts expected net income? Its expected net cash flow? b. Suppose Congress changed the tax laws so that Berndts depreciation expenses doubled. No changes in operations occurred. What would happen to reported profit and to net cash flow? c. Now suppose that Congress changed the tax laws such that, instead of doubling Berndts depreciation, it was reduced by 50%. How would profit and net cash flow be affected? d. If this were your company, would you prefer Congress to cause your depreciation expense to be doubled or halved? Why?arrow_forwardPayne Products had $1.6 million in sales revenues in the most recent year and expects sales growth to be 25% this year. Payne would like to determine the effect of various current assets policies on its financial performance. Payne has $1 million of fixed assets and intends to keep its debt ratio at its historical level of 60%. Payne’s debt interest rate is currently 8%. You are to evaluate three different current asset policies: (1) a restricted policy in which current assets are 45% of projected sales, (2) a moderate policy with 50% of sales tied up in current assets, and (3) a relaxed policy requiring current assets of 60% of sales. Earnings before interest and taxes are expected to be 12% of sales. Payne’s tax rate is 40%. What is the expected return on equity under each current asset level? In this problem, we have assumed that the level of expected sales is independent of current asset policy. Is this a valid assumption? Why or why not? How would the overall risk of the firm vary under each policy?arrow_forward
