The
firm's days sales outstanding ratio is more than the industry
average, indicating that the firm should tighten credit or enforce
a more stringent collection policy. The total assets turnover ratio
is well above the industry average so sales should be increased,
assets increased, or both. While the company's profit margin is
higher than the industry average, its other profitability ratios
are low compared to the industry - net income should be higher
given the amount of equity, assets, and invested capital. However,
the company seems to be in an above average liquidity position and
financial leverage is similar to others in the industry. |

The
firm's days sales outstanding ratio is comparable to the industry
average, indicating that the firm should neither tighten credit nor
enforce a more stringent collection policy. The total assets
turnover ratio is well below the industry average so sales should
be increased, assets increased, or both. While the company's profit
margin is higher than the industry average, its other profitability
ratios are low compared to the industry - net income should be
higher given the amount of equity, assets, and invested capital.
However, the company seems to be in a below average liquidity
position and financial leverage is similar to others in the
industry. |

The
firm's days sales outstanding ratio is more than twice as long as
the industry average, indicating that the firm should tighten
credit or enforce a more stringent collection policy. The total
assets turnover ratio is well below the industry average so sales
should be increased, assets decreased, or both. While the company's
profit margin is higher than the industry average, its other
profitability ratios are low compared to the industry - net income
should be higher given the amount of equity, assets, and invested
capital. Finally, it's market value ratios are also below industry
averages. However, the company seems to be in an average liquidity
position and financial leverage is similar to others in the
industry. |

Suppose
Barry had doubled its sales as well as its inventories, accounts
receivable, and common equity during 2018. How would that
information affect the validity of your ratio analysis? (Hint:
Think about averages and the effects of rapid growth on ratios if
averages are not used. No calculations are needed.) |

If 2018 represents a period of supernormal growth for the firm,
ratios based on this year will be distorted and a comparison
between them and industry averages will have little meaning.
Potential investors who look only at 2018 ratios will be misled,
and a return to normal conditions in 2019 could hurt the firm's
stock price. |
