Gross Profit | 171,000.00 | 178,599.00 | 80,000.00 | 84,287.00 |
Cash | 45,900.00 | 45,900.00 | 18,000.00 | 18,000.00 |
Account Receivable (NET) | 67,500.00 | 97,500.00 | 63,000.00 | 93,000.00 |
Inventory | 75,600.00 | 53,199.00 | 144,000.00 | 118,287.00 |
Total Current Assets | 189,000.00 | 196,599.00 | 225,000.00 | 229,287.00 |
Quick Assets | 121,500.00 | 99,099.00 | 162,000.00 | 136,287.00 |
Current Liabilities | 84,000.00 | 84,000.00 | 80,000.00 | 84,000.00 |
GP Ratio | 25.33% | 25.33% | 14.29% | 14.29% |
Stock Turnover Ratio | 6.67 | 9.89 | 3.33 | 4.28 |

Average Per Day sales | 1,849.32 | 1,931.51 | 1,534.25 | 1,616.44 |
Days Sales uncollected | 36.50 | 50.48 | 41.06 | 57.53 |
In the above details I have calculated all the ratios as mentioned with original data as well as with addition in turnover of $30000, addition in Accounts receivable $30000 which is the question. by marinating same Gross profit ration i have reduced the inventory and increase the cost of goods sold and recalculate all the ratios again.
And from those revised ratio i have observe that in company A all ratios except Current assets ratios ( of which slandered mark is 2) has been improved. Current ratio which is earlier 2.25 has been deteriorated to 2.34.
where as in company B on giving effect to condition given in question all ratios have been improved including current asset ratio also.
Hence since all other scenario has given same effect which is improvement in ratios except in current ratio. By considering current ratio i will give my suggestion to Company B to increase its sale by $30000/- with credit period of 30 Days.
