D. $125,000
Current assets = Quick assets + Inventory

Acid-test ratio = Quick assets ÷ Current liabilities
2.8 = Quick assets ÷ Current liabilities
Quick assets = 2.8 × Current liabilities
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
3.5 = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
3.5 = (Quick assets + $49,000) ÷ Current liabilities
3.5 = [(2.8 × Current liabilities) + $49,000] ÷ Current liabilities
3.5 = 2.8 + ($49,000 ÷ Current liabilities)
3.5 - 2.8 = $49,000 ÷ Current liabilities
0.7 = $49,000 ÷ Current liabilities
Current liabilities = $49,000 ÷ 0.7 = $70,000

254. Two-Rivers Inc. (TRI) manufactures a variety of consumer products. The company's founders
have run the company for thirty years and are now interested in retiring. Consequently, they
are seeking a purchaser, and a group of investors is looking into the acquisition of TRI. To
evaluate its financial stability, TRI was requested to provide its latest financial statements and
selected financial ratios. Summary information provided by TRI is presented below.
.
Required:
a. Calculate the select financial ratios for the fiscal year Year 2.
b. Interpret what each of these financial ratios means in terms of TRI's financial stability and
operating efficiency.
a. The calculation of selected financial ratios for TRI for Year 2 follows.
• Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
= $9,900 ÷ $6,300 = 1.57
• Acid-test ratio = (Cash + Marketable securities + Accounts receivable) ÷ Current liabilities
= ($400 + $500 + $3,200) ÷ $6,300 = 0.65
• Times interest earned = Income before interest expense and income taxes ÷ Interest
expense
= ($7,060 + $900) ÷ $900 = 8.8
• Debt-to-equity = Total liabilities ÷ Stockholders' equity
= $8,300 ÷ $8,700 = 0.95
• Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average Inventory
= $17,600 ÷ [($5,800 + $5,400)/2] = 3.14
b. Interpretations of the financial ratios:
• TRI's current ratio has declined over the last three years. This declining trend, coupled with
.
the fact that the current ratio is below the industry average, is probably not yet a major
concern. However, the current ratio should be monitored.
• The acid-test ratio has improved over the last three years; however, it is still below the
industry average. Furthermore, an acid-test ratio below 1 indicates that TRI may have difficulty
meeting its short-term obligations.
• TRI's times interest earned ratio has been improving over the last three years and is above
the industry average. This indicates that the relationship between profits and interest expense
is favorable and is one indication that TRI might consider increasing its debt—-particularly if
there are attractive investment opportunities.
• TRI's debt to equity ratio has deteriorated slightly in Year 2 but has been below the industry
average over the last three years. This indicates that TRI should be able to raise additional
financing through debt and still remain below the industry average.
• TRI's inventory turnover ratio has been steadily declining and is below the industry average.
This may indicate a decline in operating efficiency, problems with obsolete inventory, or
overpriced stocks.

259. M. K. Berry is the managing director of CE Ltd. a small, family-owned company which
manufactures cutlery. His company belongs to a trade association which publishes a monthly
magazine. The latest issue of the magazine contains a very brief article based on the analysis
of the accounting statements published by the 40 companies which manufacture this type of
product. The article contains the following table:
CE Ltd's latest financial statements are as follows:
The country in which the company operates has no corporate income tax. No dividends were
paid during the year. All sales are on account.
.
Required:
a. Calculate each of the ratios listed in the magazine article for this year for CE, and comment
briefly on CE Ltd's performance in comparison to the industrial averages.
b. Explain why it could be misleading to compare CE Ltd's ratios with those taken from the
article.
A. Return on equity = Net income ÷ Average total stockholders' equity*
= £110 ÷ £369 = 29.8%
*Average total stockholders' equity = [(£100 + £324) + (£100 + £214)] ÷ 2 = £369
Return on total assets = {Net income + [Interest expense × (1 - Tax rate)]} ÷ Average total
assets*
= {£110 + [£15 × (1 - 0.00)]} ÷ £695.5 = 18.0%
*Average total assets = (£721 + £670) ÷ 2 = £695.5
= £180 ÷ £900 = 20%
.
Current ratio = Current assets* ÷ Current liabilities
= £221 ÷ £147 = 1.5
*Current assets = £5 + £120 + £96 = £221
= £720 ÷ [(£96 + £80) ÷ 2] = 8.2 (rounded)
Average sale period = 365 days ÷ Inventory turnover*
= £900 ÷ £115 = 7.8 (rounded)
*Average accounts receivable balance = (£120 + £110) ÷ 2 = £115
CE Ltd's return on stockholders' equity is not as good as the industry's average. For every
pound invested, stockholders are obtaining a return which is smaller than they should expect,
based on the article's figures. Similarly, the return on total assets is much less than the
average. This indicates that the company is unable to make good use of the funds invested in
the company.
CE Ltd's gross margin percentage is also lower than average--perhaps because its selling
prices are lower than the average or its cost of sales are higher.
The current ratio indicates that CE Ltd's current assets are greater than its current liabilities by
a factor of 1.5. The industry average shows an even higher figure, with current assets
amounting to almost double current liabilities.
Most companies aim to turn over inventory as quickly as possible, in order to improve cash
flow. CE Ltd is not managing to do this as quickly as the industry's average of 37 days.
Similarly, companies should try to obtain payment from customers as soon as possible. CE
Ltd is taking much longer to do this than the average for the industry.
B. Care must be taken when comparing CE Ltd's ratios with industry averages because there
.
may be differences in accounting methods. Although accounting standards have reduced the
range of acceptable accounting policies, there is still scope for different firms to apply different
accounting policies. For example, one firm may use straight-line depreciation, while another
may use accelerated depreciation. These variations make comparisons difficult.
Size differences may also mean that ratios are not comparable. A very large manufacturing
business should be able to achieve economies of scale which are not possible for CE Ltd. For
example, large companies may be able to negotiate sizable discounts from suppliers.
A third problem arises from differences in product range. CE Ltd may produce cutlery which is
sold at the top end of the market, for very high prices, and in small volumes. Alternatively, it
may be producing high-volume, low quality cutlery for the catering industry. Either situation will
reduce the value of comparisons with the industry average.
