Explanation of Solution

Debt to equity ratio:

The ratio of company’s total debt to the total stockholders’ equity is known as debt to equity ratio. The company is at risk if the debt to equity ratio is high because, the company’s equity is not enough to repay the debt at maturity along with the interest.

Calculate debt to equity ratio for the year 2013:

Debt-Equity ratio=Total liabilitesTotalStockholders' equity=€27,951million€27,723million=1.008:1

Calculate debt to equity ratio for the year 2012:

Debt-Equity ratio=Total liabilitesTotalStockholders' equity=€24,490million€25,508million=0.960:1

The debt-to-equity ratio for the year 2013 is 1.008 and for the year 2012 is 0.960, which means that leverage increased to some extent during the year 2013.

The inventory turnover ratio for Company LVMH is calculated as follows:

Inventory turnover=Cost of goods soldAverage inventory=€10,055€8,333(1)=1.207times

The average days to sell inventory for Company LVMH are calculated as follows:

Average days' to sell inventory=Days in accounting periodInventory turnoverratio=365days1.207times=302.4days

Therefore the inventory turnover ratio for Company LVMH is 1.207 times and average days to sell inventory for are 302.4days.

  • The number of days for inventory turnover for Company LVMH is comparatively long (over 300 days). Because LVMH’s business strategy focuses on sales of luxury brand name items, as well as certain items (wine and spirits) that involve some aging, it is not surprising that it takes a relatively long time to turn over inventory.
