measures the number of days inventory is held before it is sold or used. Indicates the efficiency of general inventory management.

24
Q

Number of days’ supply in inventory equation

(300 or 360 or 365 (or other measure of business days in a year)) / Inventory Turnover

25
Q

Operating number of cycle

A

measures the average length of time to invest cash in inventory, convert the inventory to receivables, and collect the receivables; it measures the time to go from cash back to cash.

26
Q

Operating number of cycle equation

A

Operating Number of Cycle = Days in Operating = Number of Days’ Sale in A/R + Length Cycle Number of Days’ Supply in Inventory

27
Q

Inventory on January 1 $ 100,000
Inventory on December 31 $300,000
Net sales $2,000,000
Net purchases $700,000

What was Baxter’s inventory turnover for the year ending December 31?

A

Inventory turnover is the ratio of cost of goods (CGS) sold to average inventory. First, calculate CGS = beginning inventory $100,000 + purchases $700,000 ‐ ending inventory $300,000 = $500,000. Then, average inventory = (beginning inventory + ending inventory)/2 = ($100,000 + $300,000)/2 = $200,000. Turnover = $500,000/$200,000 = 2.5

28
Q

Calculate COGS

A

COGS = BI+Purchase-EI

29
Q

34
Q

Return on common stockholders’ equity

A

measures the rate of return (earnings) on common stockholders’ investment

35
Q

A

(Net Income—Preferred Dividend (obligation for the period only)) / Average Common Stockholders’ Equity (e.g., (Beginning + Ending)/2)

36
Q

Return on owners’ (all stockholders’) equity

A

measures the rate of return (earnings) on all stockholders’ investment

37
Q

Return on owners’ (all stockholders’) equity equation

A

Return on Owners’ (all Stockholders’) Equity = Net Income / Average Stockholders’ Equity (e.g., (Beginning + Ending)/2)

38
Q

Earnings per share (EPS—basic formula)

A

measures the income earned per (average) share of common stock. Indicates ability to pay dividends to common shareholders.

= (Net Income—Preferred Dividends (obligation for the period only)) / Weighted Average Number of Shares Outstanding

39
Q

The price-earnings (P/E) ratio

A

measures the price of a share of common stock relative to its latest earnings per share. Indicates a measure of how the market values the stock, especially when compared with other stocks.

= Market Price for a Common Share / Earnings per (Common) Share (EPS)

40
Q

Cash Dividends to Common Shareholders / Net Income to Common Shareholder

41
Q

Per share basis

A

measures the extent (percentage) of earnings distributed to common shareholders.

= Cash Dividends per Common Share / Earnings per Common Share

42
Q

Common stock yield

A

measures the rate of return (yield) per share of common stock.

= Dividend per Common Share / Market Price per Common Share

43
Q

debt to equity ratio

A

measures relative amounts of assets provided by creditors and shareholders.

= Total Liabilities / Total Shareholders’ Equity

44
Q

A

measures the proportion of assets provided by creditors. Indicates the extent of leverage in funding the entity.

Debt Ratio = Total Liabilities / Total Assets

46
Q

Book value per common stock

A

measures the per share amount of common shareholders’ claim to assets. (See the section on this ratio in the owner’s equity module for more details.)

Book Value per Common Stock = Common Shareholders’ Equity / Number of Outstanding Common Shares

47
Q

Book value per preferred share

A

measures the per share amount of preferred shareholders’ claim to assets.

Book Value per Preferred Share = Preferred Shareholders’ Equity (including dividends in arrears) / Number of Outstanding Preferred Stocks

48

49
Q

If a parent uses the equity method on its books to account for its investment in a subsidiary, which one of the following will result in an increase in the investment account on the parent’s books?

Subsidiary Reports Income

Subsidiary Declares Dividend

A

Subsidiary Reports Income - yes

Subsidiary Declares Dividend - no

Under the equity method, when a subsidiary reports income, the parent recognizes its share as: DR: Investment and CR: Equity Income. Therefore, the subsidiary’s reported income increases the investment account. In addition, when a subsidiary declares a dividend, the parent recognizes its share as: DR: Dividends Receivable/Cash and CR: Investment. Therefore, the subsidiary’s dividends do not increase the investment account but rather decrease the investment account.
