a. Calculate the company’s current ratio and acid test (quick) ratio.

A

Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities
= 220/100 = 2.2

Acid test ratio = Current assets less inventories/Current liabilities
= (220 - 60)/100 = 160/100 = 1.6

c. How do these transactions affect the current ratio and acid test (quick) ratio?

A

Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities
= 155/115 = 1.348
Current Ratio in previous year was 2.2, so it has declined.

Acid test ratio = Current assets less inventories/Current liabilities
= (155-75)/115 = 80/115 = 0.695
Liquidity Ratio in the previous year was 1.6, so it has worsened.

During year 1 the operating profit of the Port Andrew Company amounted to £61,000 and the operating profit of the Port Edward Company amounted to £40,000.

Which of the two companies appears to be the financially weaker, and why? You should calculate the current ratio, the acid test (quick) ratio, the gearing ratio
and the interest times cover.

A

Port Andrew

Current Ratio = Current Assets/ Current Liabilities = 130,000/70,000 = 1.86

Acid Test Ratio = Current Assets less Inventories/Current Liabilities
= (130,000 – 70,000)/70,000 = 0.86

Gearing Ratio = Long-term Borrowings/(Long-term Borrowings + Equity)
= 300,000/(300,000 + 360,000) = 0.4545 x 100= 45%

During year 1 the operating profit of the Port Andrew Company amounted to £61,000
Interest is 10% of 300,000 = £30,000
Interest Coverage = Profit/Interest = 61,000/30,000 = 2.03

Port Edward

Current Ratio = Current Assets/ Current Liabilities =
190,000/80,000
= 2.38

Acid Test Ratio = Current Assets less Inventories/Current Liabilities
= (190,000 – 40,000)/80,000
= 1.88

Gearing Ratio = Long-term Borrowings/(Long-term Borrowings + Equity)
= 100,000/(100,000 + 440,000)
= 0.185 x 100= 18.5%

During year 1 the operating profit of the Port Edward Company amounted to £40,000.
Interest is 10% of 100,000 = £10,000
Interest Coverage = Profit/Interest = 40,000/10,000= 4.0

                              Port Andrew      Port Edward Current Ratio                  1.86                    2.38 Liquidity Ratio                0.86                    1.88 Gearing Ratio                  45%                   18.5% Interest Times Cover     2.03                     4.0

Port Edward is stronger financially. All its ratios are better.

Statement of Financial Position Problem

Jack Munroe decides to set up his own business importing raw material from the Republic of Ireland and converting this into products for resale. During the first six months of the business the following transactions take place:
1. He puts £50,000 of the money he obtained from an inheritance into the business.
2. He borrows a further £50,000 from an aunt who has just retired and wants to invest some of the lump sum from her pension into a business.
3. He intends to deliver the products to his customers and buys a second-hand van for £15,000.
4. A friend of his, who is an accountant, estimates that the van will depreciate by £1,500 a year.
5. He orders £80,000 of raw materials from a firm in Drogheda. The agreement is that he will pay £10,000 a month for these materials.
6. He intends not to employ any staff for the first year of operations but will pay himself £2,500 a month.
7. He leases a small business unit in Lisburn for £300 a month, however he has to pay a year’s rent in advance.
8. All other expenses will be paid in the month they occur and will equate to £400 a month. However, one utility bill for a quarter, and coming to £300, will not arrive until the start of the second six months of operation, so he will be paying this in arrears.
9. In the first six months he uses £70,000 of the raw materials and sells the associated products for £120,000. All sales are for cash, apart from £5,000
worth of products sold to a major customer at the end of the six-month period, who will pay him in the following month.

Required
From the above, draw up Jack Munroe’s statement of financial position for the first six months of operations.

A

Calculations
• As one of the six equal instalments of the loan repayments will take place in the forthcoming year it is a current liability
• Therefore £10,000 will go in current liabilities and £50,000 will go in non-current liabilities
• Plant was valued at £80,000 at the beginning of the year, however since then £16,000 worth of plant has been sold and £10,000 has been purchased
• The accumulated depreciation for the plant at the beginning of the year was £30,000, but £3,200 can now be written off as it was related to the plant that was sold
• Therefore the plant at cost is now £74,000 and the accumulated depreciation is £26,800
• This gives us a net book value of £47,200, which can now be depreciated by £9,440 (20%)
• The £9,440 will reduce the stated profit figure
• The leasehold factory needs to be depreciated by 2% at cost, i.e. £4,000
• This £4,000 will also reduce the stated profit
• We must finally consider the sale of the plant
• It was worth £16,000 - £3,200, i.e. £12,800, but was sold for £12,000
• Therefore a loss of £800 was made on the sale of the plant, which will also reduce the stated profit
• The stated profit is therefore adjusted:
• £111,000 – (£9,440 + £4,000 + £800) = £96,760
• We can now ignore the entry ‘Sale proceeds of plant’ as it will be dealt with in the adjusted figures for the plant, the plant’s accumulated depreciation and the adjusted profit
• We can now draw up the statement of financial position for Packmore Foundry Plc
