Problem 13-5A Part 1
Required:
1a. For both companies compute the (a)
current ratio, (b) acid-test ratio, (c) accounts
receivable turnover, (d) inventory turnover, (e)
days’ sales in inventory, and (f) days’ sales uncollected.
(Do not round intermediate calculations.)
1b. Identify the company you consider to be the
better short-term credit risk.
(1)
current ratio = current assets/current liabilities
= (cash + accounts receivable + merchandise inventory + prepaid expenses)/current liabilities
for Barco company,
= ($20500 + $33400 + $84840 + $6000)/$62340
= 2.32
for Kyan company,
= ($31000 + $58400 + $138500 + $7550)/$96300
= 2.44
(2)
current ratio = (cash + accounts receivable)/current liabilities
for Barco company,
= ($20500 + $33400)/$62340
= 0.86
for Kyan company,
= ($31000 + $58400)/$96300
= 0.93
(3)
Accounts receivable turnover = net credit sales/average accounts receivable
for Barco company,
= $780000/{($33400 + $31800)/2}
= 23.93 times
for Kyan company,
= $924200/{($58400 + $53200)/2}
= 16.56 times
(4)
inventory turnover = cost of goods sold/average inventory
for Barco company,
= $589100/{($84840 + $57600)/2}
= 8. 27 times
for Kyan company,
= $648500/{($138500 + $115400)/2}
= 5.11 times
(5)
days’ sales in inventory = 365/average inventory
for Barco company,
= 365/8.27 = 44.14 days
for Kyan company,
= 365/5.11 = 71.43 days
(6)
days’ sales uncollected = 365/average accounts receivable
for Barco company,
= 365/23.93 = 15.25 days
for Kyan company,
= 365/16.56 = 22.04
