Answer Key

Test name: John Wild Ch13 Problem Material

1) Financial statement analysis

2) [past and current performance, current financial position, future performance and risk]

3) [income statement, balance sheet, statement of stockholders’ equity (or statement of retained earnings), statement of cash flows, notes to the financial statements]

4) [liquidity and efficiency, solvency, profitability, market prospects]

5) [intracompany, competitor, industry, guidelines (rules-of-thumb)]

6) horizontal analysis

7) vertical analysis

8) ratio analysis

9) [horizontal analysis, vertical analysis, ratio analysis]

10) [executive summary, analysis overview, evidential matter, assumptions, key factors, inferences]

11) Comparative

12) [analysis period amount, base period amount]

13) working capital

14) liquidity

15) solvency

16) profitability

17) Market prospects

18) [percent, rate, proportion]

19) [products/services, geographic locations]

20) sustainable income

21) The purpose of financial statement analysis is to assist users in improving the quality of business decisions. It reduces reliance on guesses and intuition and provides a systematic basis for making decisions. External users want information to make better and more informed decisions such as whether or not to invest in, or loan money to a company. Internal users, such as managers, use financial statement analysis to provide strategic information to improve company efficiency and effectiveness in providing products and services.

22) The four usual building blocks of financial statement analysis include (1) liquidity and efficiency, (2) solvency, (3) profitability, and (4) market prospects. Liquidity and efficiency are the ability to meet short-term obligations and to efficiently generate revenues. Solvency is the ability to generate future revenues and to meet long-term obligations. Profitability is the ability to provide financial rewards to attract and retain financing. Market prospects are the ability to generate positive market expectations.

23) The standards are intracompany comparisons, comparisons with competitors, industry comparisons, and guidelines (or rules of thumb). Intra-company comparisons require that a company compare its own prior performance to current performance. The performance of a company's direct competitor (such as Coke comparing its profit margin to PepsiCo's) is an example of comparisons with competitors. Industry statistics are available from services such as Dun & Bradstreet, and a company can compare its results to those industry statistics. There are general standards known as rules of thumb that can be used to evaluate a company's performance. For instance, there is a rule of thumb that a company's current ratio should be no less than 2 to 1.

24) Three common tools of financial statement analysis are: (1) horizontal analysis, which compares a company's financial condition and performance across time; (2) vertical analysis, which compares a company's financial condition and performance to a base amount; and (3) ratio analysis, which uses key relations between financial statement items.

25) A good financial statement analysis report serves as a means of communication with financial statement users. A financial statement analysis report usually consists of six component sections: (1) executive summary; (2) analysis overview; (3) evidential matter; (4) assumptions; (5) key factors; and (6) inferences.

26) Horizontal analysis is a tool to evaluate changes in financial statement data across time. Comparative statement analysis and trend analysis are two types of horizontal analysis. Comparative statements show line item amounts for two or more successive periods, and usually shows changes in both absolute dollar amounts and in percent changes. Trend analysis is used to reveal important changes occurring over successive financial periods. Trend analysis is different from horizontal analysis in that it doesn’t subtract the base period amount in the numerator.

27) Vertical analysis is used to evaluate individual financial statement items or group of items in terms of a specific base amount. The base amount for the balance sheet is usually total assets, and the base amount for the income statement is usually net sales or revenue. The base amount is usually defined as 100%. Common-size financial statements and graphical analysis are two methods of application of vertical financial statement analysis.

28) A ratio is a mathematical relation between two quantities and can be expressed as either percent, rate, or proportion. Ratios are used to analyze the relations between financial statement items that have an economically important relation, such as Sales and Accounts Receivable or Cost of Sales and Inventory. Ratios can be used for comparison to industry standards, a company's competitor, budgets, or past performance. Ratios are used in all four of the building blocks of financial analysis (liquidity and efficiency, solvency, profitability, and market prospects). Ratios are valuable because they can indicate areas of a company's financial situation, which may require further investigation.

<br> During Year 2, sales declined, cost of sales increased, and operating expenses increased, causing income to be only 46.5% of Year 1 income. However, during Year 3, sales increased, cost of sales decreased, and although operating expenses increased from Year 1, operating income was 136.5% of Year 1 income. Year 2 was not a good year, but the company seemed to recover in Year 3.

<br>Although a smaller percent of each sales dollar went to selling expenses in Year 2, the lower gross profit ratio created an unfavorable situation resulting in a 1% reduction in profit margin. If the gross profit ratio had remained at the Year 1 percent, gross profit would have been $420,000 and net income would have been $108,000, yielding a profit margin of 9% rather than 7%.

Kouris

Brittania

(a) Current ratio

$4,679.9/$2,015.2 = 2.3

$80.7/$16.3 = 5.0

(b) Acid test ratio

($634.0 + $2,101.1)/$2,015.2 = 1.4

($34.5 + $15.5)/$16.3 = 3.1

(c) Accounts receivable turnover

$10,697.0/((2,101.1 + $1,804.1)/2) = 5.5

$133.5/[($15.5 + $14.7)/2] = 8.8

(d) Inventory turnover

$6,313.6/(($1,514.9 + $1,373.8)/2) = 4.4

$87.3/[($27.2 + $28.4)/2] = 3.1

(e) Days’ sales in inventory

($1,514.9/$6,313.6) × 365 = 87.6 days

($27.2/$87.3) × 365= 113.7 days

(f) Days’ sales uncollected

($2,101.1/$10,697.0) × 365 = 71.7 days
