MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING - Solutions Manual CHAPTER FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANALYSIS - II I Questions By looking at trends, an analyst hopes to get some idea of whether a situation is improving, remaining the same, or deteriorating Such analyses can provide insight into what is likely to happen in the future Rather than looking at trends, an analyst may compare one company to another or to industry averages using common-size financial statements Ratios highlight relationships, movements, and trends that are very difficult to perceive looking at the raw underlying data standing alone Also, ratios make financial data easier to grasp by putting the data into perspective As to the limitation in the use of ratios, refer to page 129 Price-earnings ratios are determined by how investors see a firm’s future prospects Current reported earnings are generally considered to be useful only so far as they can assist investors in judging what will happen in the future For this reason, two firms might have the same current earnings, but one might have a much higher price-earnings ratio if investors view it to have superior future prospects In some cases, firms with very small current earnings enjoy very high price-earnings ratios This is simply because investors view these firms as having very favorable prospects for earnings in future years By definition, a stock with current earnings of P4 and a price-earnings ratio of 20 would be selling for P80 per share A manager’s financing responsibilities relate to the acquisition of assets for use in his or her company The acquisition of assets can be financed in a number of ways, including through issue of ordinary shares, through issue of preference shares, through issue of long-term debt, through leasing, etc A manager’s operating responsibilities relate to how these assets are used once they have been acquired The return on total assets ratio is designed to measure how well a manager is discharging his or her operating responsibilities It does this by looking at a company’s income before any consideration is given as to how the income will be distributed among capital resources, i.e., before interest deductions 5-1 Chapter Financial Statement Analysis –II Financial leverage, as the term is used in business practice, means obtaining funds from investment sources that require a fixed annual rate of return, in the hope of enhancing the well-being of the ordinary shareholders If the assets in which these funds are invested earn at a rate greater that the return required by the suppliers of the funds, then leverage is positive in the sense that the excess accrues to the benefit of the ordinary shareholders If the return on assets is less than the return required by the suppliers of the funds, then leverage is negative in the sense that part of the earnings from the assets provided by the ordinary shareholders will have to go to make up the deficiency How a shareholder would feel would depend in large part on the stability of the firm and its industry If the firm is in an industry that experiences wide fluctuations in earnings, then shareholders might be very pleased that no interest-paying debt exists in the firm’s capital structure In hard times, interest payments might be very difficult to meet, or earnings might be so poor that negative leverage would result No, the stock is not necessarily overpriced Book value represents the cumulative effects on the balance sheet of past activities evaluated using historical prices The market value of the stock reflects investors’ beliefs about the company’s future earning prospects For most companies market value exceeds book value because investors anticipate future growth in earnings A company in a rapidly growing technological industry probably would have many opportunities to invest its earnings at a high rate of return; thus, one would expect it to have a low dividend payout ratio It is more difficult to obtain positive financial leverage from preference shares than from long-term debt due to the fact that interest on longterm debt is tax deductible, whereas dividends paid on preference shares are not tax deductible 10 The current ratio would probably be highest during January, when both current assets and current liabilities are at a minimum During peak operating periods, current liabilities generally include short-term borrowings that are used to temporarily finance inventories and receivables As the peak periods end, these short-term borrowings are paid off, thereby enhancing the current ratio 5-2 Financial Statement Analysis –II Chapter 11 A 2-to-1 current ratio might not be adequate for several reasons First, the composition of the current assets may be heavily weighted toward slow-turning inventory, or the inventory may consist of large amounts of obsolete goods Second, the receivables may be large and of doubtful collectibility, or the receivables may be turning very slowly due to poor collection procedures 12 Expenses (including the cost of goods sold) have been increasing at an even faster rate than net sales Thus Sunday is apparently having difficulty in effectively controlling its expenses 13 If the company’s earnings are very low, they may become almost insignificant in relation to stock price While this means that the p/e ratio becomes very high, it does not necessarily mean that investors are optimistic In fact, they may be valuing the company at its liquidation value rather than a value based upon expected future earnings 14 From the viewpoint of the company’s shareholders, this situation represents a favorable use of leverage It is probable that little interest, if any, is paid for the use of funds supplied by current creditors, and only 11% interest is being paid to long-term bondholders Together these two sources supply 40% of the total assets Since the firm earns an average return of 16% on all assets, the amount by which the return on 40% of the assets exceeds the fixed-interest requirements on liabilities will accrue to the residual equity holders – the ordinary shareholders – raising the return on equity 15 The length of operating cycle of the two companies cannot be determined from the fact the one company’s current ratio is higher The operating cycle depends on the relationships between receivables and sales, and between inventories and cost of goods sold The company with the higher current ratio might have either small amounts of receivables and inventories, or large sales and cost of sales, either of which would tend to produce a relatively short operating cycle 16 The investor is calculating the rate of return by dividing the dividend by the purchase price of the investment (P5 ÷ P50 = 10%) A more meaningful figure for rate of return on investment is determined by relating dividends to current market price, since the investor at the present time is faced with the alternative of selling the stock for P100 and investing the proceeds elsewhere or keeping the investment A decision to retain the stock constitutes, in effect, a decision to continue to invest P100 in it, at a return of 5% It is true that in a historical 5-3 Chapter Financial Statement Analysis –II sense the investor is earning 10% on the original investment, but this is interesting history rather than useful decision-making information 17 A corporate net income of P1 million would be unreasonably low for a large corporation, with, say, P100 million in sales, P50 million in assets, and P40 million in equity A return of only P1 million for a company of this size would suggest that the owners could much better by investing in insured bank savings accounts or in government bonds which would be virtually risk-free and would pay a higher return On the other hand, a profit of P1 million would be unreasonably high for a corporation which had sales of only P5 million, assets of, say, P3 million, and equity of perhaps one-half million pesos In other words, the net income of a corporation must be judged in relation to the scale of operations and the amount invested II True or False True True True False True True True True False 10 False III Problems Problem (Common Size Income Statements) Common size income statements for 2005 and 2006: Sales Cost of goods sold Gross profit Operating expenses Net income 2006 100% 66 34% 28 6% 2005 100% 67 33% 29 4% The changes from 2005 to 2006 are all favorable Sales increased and the gross profit per peso of sales also increased These two factors led to a substantial increase in gross profit Although operating expenses increased in peso amount, the operating expenses per peso of sales decreased from 29 cents to 28 cents The combination of these three favorable factors caused net income to rise from cents to cents out of each peso of sales Problem (Measures of Liquidity) 5-4 Financial Statement Analysis –II Chapter Requirement (a) Current assets: Cash Marketable securities Accounts receivable Inventory Unexpired insurance Total current assets Current liabilities: Notes payable Accounts payable Salaries payable Income taxes payable Unearned revenue Total current liabilities P 47,600 175,040 230,540 179,600 4,500 P637,280 P 70,000 125,430 7,570 14,600 10,000 P227,600 Requirement (b) The current ratio is 2.8 to It is computed by dividing the current assets of P637,280 by the current liabilities of P227,600 The amount of working capital is P409,680, computed by subtracting the current liabilities of P227,600 from the current assets of P637,280 The company appears to be in a strong position as to short-run debt-paying ability It has almost three pesos of current assets for each peso of current liabilities Even if some losses should be sustained in the sale of the merchandise on hand or in the collection of the accounts receivable, it appears probable that the company would still be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the near future Of course, additional information, such as the credit terms on the accounts receivable, would be helpful in a careful evaluation of the company’s current position Problem (Common-Size Income Statement) Requirement 2006 2005 Sales 100.0 % 100.0 % Less cost of goods sold 63.2 60.0 Gross margin 36.8 40.0 Selling expenses 18.0 17.5 Administrative expenses 13.6 14.6 Total expenses 31.6 32.1 5-5 Chapter Financial Statement Analysis –II Net operating income 5.2 7.9 Interest expense 1.4 1.0 Net income before taxes 3.8 % 6.9 % Requirement The company’s major problem seems to be the increase in cost of goods sold, which increased from 60.0% of sales in 2005 to 63.2% of sales in 2006 This suggests that the company is not passing the increases in costs of its products on to its customers As a result, cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales has increased and gross margin has decreased Selling expenses and interest expense have both increased slightly during the year, which suggests that costs generally are going up in the company The only exception is the administrative expenses, which have decreased from 14.6% of sales in 2005 to 13.6% of sales in 2006 This probably is a result of the company’s efforts to reduce administrative expenses during the year Problem (Comparing Operating Results with Average Performance in the Industry) Requirement (a) Ms Freeze,Inc 100% 49 51% Sales (net) Cost of goods sold Gross profit on sales Operating expenses: Selling General and administrative Total operating expenses Operating income Income taxes Net income 21% 17 38% 13% 7% Industry Average 100% 57 43% 16% 20 36% 7% 4% Requirement (b) Ms Freeze’s operating results are significantly better than the average performance within the industry As a percentage of sales revenue, Ms Freeze’s operating income and net income after nearly twice the average for the industry As a percentage of total assets, Ms Freeze’s profits amount to an impressive 23% as compared to 14% for the industry The key to Ms Freeze’s success seems to be its ability to earn a relatively high rate of gross profit Ms Freeze’s exceptional gross profit rate (51%) probably results from a combination of factors, such as an ability to command a premium price for the company’s products and production efficiencies which lead to lower manufacturing costs 5-6 Financial Statement Analysis –II Chapter As a percentage of sales, Ms Freeze’s selling expenses are five points higher than the industry average (21% compared to 16%) However, these higher expenses may explain Ms Freeze’s ability to command a premium price for its products Since the company’s gross profit rate exceeds the industry average by percentage points, the higher-than-average selling costs may be part of a successful marketing strategy The company’s general and administrative expenses are significantly lower than the industry average, which indicates that Ms Freeze’s management is able to control expenses effectively Problem (Common-Size Statements) Requirement The income statement in common-size form would be: Sales Less cost of goods sold Gross margin Less operating expenses Net operating income Less interest expense Net income before taxes Less income taxes (30%) Net income 2006 100.0% 65.0 35.0 26.3 8.7 1.2 7.5 2.3 5.3% 2005 100.0% 60.0 40.0 30.4 9.6 1.6 8.0 2.4 5.6% The

total down in all cases due to rounding differences Requirement The company’s cost of goods sold has increased from 60 percent of sales in 2005 to 65 percent of sales in 2006 This appears to be the major reason the company’s profits showed so little increase between the two years Some benefits were realized from the company’s cost-cutting efforts, as evidenced by the fact that operating expenses were only 26.3 percent of sales in 2006 as compared to 30.4 percent in 2005 Unfortunately, this reduction in operating expenses was not enough to offset the increase in cost of goods sold As a result, the company’s net income declined from 5.6 percent of sales in 2005 to 5.3 percent of sales in 2006 Problem (Solvency of Alabang Supermarket) Requirement (a) (Pesos in Millions) Current assets: Cash

Requirement (c) No It is difficult to draw conclusions from the above ratios Alabang Supermarket’s current ratio and quick ratio are well below “safe” levels, according to traditional rules of thumb On the other hand, some large companies with steady ash flows are able to operate successfully with current ratios lower than Alabang Supermarket’s Requirement (d) Due to characteristics of the industry, supermarkets tend to have smaller amounts of current assets and quick assets than other types of merchandising companies An inventory of food has a short shelf life Therefore, the inventory of a supermarket usually represents only a few weeks’ sales Other merchandising companies may stock inventories representing several months’ sales Also, supermarkets sell primarily for cash Thus, they have relatively few receivables Although supermarkets may generate large amounts of cash, it is not profitable for them to hold 5-9 Chapter Financial Statement Analysis –II assets in this form Therefore, they are likely to reinvest their cash flows in business operations as quickly as possible Requirement (e) In evaluating Alabang Supermarket’s liquidity, it would be useful to review the company’s financial position in prior years, statements of cash flows, and the financial ratios of other supermarket chains One might also ascertain the company’s credit rating from an agency such as Dun & Bradstreet Note to Instructor: Prior to the year in which the data for this problem was collected, Alabang Supermarket had reported a negative retained earnings balance in its balance sheet for several consecutive periods The fact that Alabang Supermarket has only recently removed the deficit from its financial statements is also worrisome Problem (Balance Sheet Measures of Liquidity and Credit Risk) Requirement (a) (1) Quick assets: Cash Marketable securities (short-term) Accounts receivable Total quick assets P 47,524 55,926 23,553 P127,003 (2) Current assets: Cash Marketable

control This would mean more rigorous checks of creditworthiness before sales are made and perhaps paring out of slow paying customers It would also mean a sharp reduction of inventory levels to a more manageable size If these steps are taken, it appears that sufficient funds could be generated to repay the loan in a reasonable period of time Case (Financial Ratios for Ordinary Shareholders)

evidenced by the fact that they are willing to pay only 7.3 times current earnings for a share of the company’s stock, as compared to times current earnings for the average of all stocks in the industry If investors were willing to pay times current earnings for Metro Building Supply’s stock, then it would be selling for about P55 per share (9 × P6.16), rather than for only P45 per share

ordinary equity (a) ÷ (b) 16.6% 13.4% c Financial leverage is positive in both years, since the return on ordinary equity is greater than the return on total assets This positive financial leverage is due to three factors: the preference shares, which has a dividend of only 8%; the bonds, which have an after-tax interest cost of 5-23 Chapter Financial Statement Analysis –II only 7.2% [12% interest rate × (1 – 0.40) = 7.2%]; and the accounts payable, which may bear no interest cost Requirement We would recommend keeping the stock The stock’s downside risk seems small, since it is selling for only 7.3 times current earnings as compared to times earnings for the average firm in the industry In addition, its earnings are strong and trending upward, and its return on ordinary equity (16.6%) is extremely good Its return on total assets (10.4%) compares favorably with that of the industry The risk, of course, is whether the company can get its cash problem under control Conceivably, the cash problem could worsen, leading to an eventual reduction in profits through inability to operate, a reduction in dividends, and a precipitous drop in the market price of the company’s stock This does not seem likely, however, since the company can easily control its cash problem through more careful management of accounts receivable and inventory If this problem is brought under control, the price of the stock could rise sharply over the next few years, making it an excellent investment Case (Comprehensive Ratio Analysis) Requirement This Year Last Year P  280,000 P  168,000 a Net income

by Meri Ramos, both net income and sales are up from last year The return on total assets has improved from 5.1% last year to 6.8% this year, and the return on ordinary equity is up to 9.2% from 4.9% the year before But this appears to be the only bright spot in the company’s operating picture Virtually all other ratios are below the industry average, and, more important, they are trending downward The deterioration in the gross margin percentage, while not large, is worrisome Sales and inventories have increased substantially, which should ordinarily result in an improvement in the gross margin percentage as fixed costs are spread over more units However, the gross margin percentage has declined Notice particularly that the average age of receivables has lengthened to 52 days—about three weeks over the industry average—and that the inventory turnover is 50% longer than the industry average One wonders if the increase in sales was obtained at least in part by extending credit to highrisk customers Also notice that the debt-to-equity ratio is rising rapidly If the P1,000,000 loan is granted, the ratio will rise further to 1.09 to In the author’s opinion, what the company needs is more equity—not more debt Therefore, the loan should not be approved The company should be encouraged to make another issue of ordinary stock in order to provide a broader equity base on which to operate Case (Statement Reconstruction Using Ratios) Bulacan Company Income Statement For the Year Ended December 31, 2005 Sales Less: Cost of Sales (4) Gross Profit Less: Expenses Net

the acid-test ratio must be higher than 1.0, and the interest on the loan must be no more than four times net operating income These ratios are computed below: Current ratio = Current assets Current liabilities Current rate = P290,000 P164,000 Acid-test ratio = Acid-test ratio = = 1.8 (rounded) Cash + Marketable securities + Accounts receivable Current liabilities P70,000 + P0 + P50,000 P164,000 5-30 = 0.70 (rounded) Financial Statement Analysis –II Chapter Net operating income Interest on the loan = P20,000 P80,000 x 0.10 x (6/12) = 5.0 The company would fail to qualify for the loan because both its current ratio and its acid-test ratio are too low Requirement By reclassifying the P45 thousand net book value of the old machine as inventory, the current ratio would improve, but there would be no effect on the acid-test ratio This happens because inventory is considered to be a current asset but is not included in the numerator when computing the acidtest ratio Current ratio =

P50,000 = 0.70 (rounded) P164,000 Even if this tactic had succeeded in qualifying the company for the loan, we strongly advise against it Inventories are assets the company has acquired for the sole purpose of selling them to outsiders in the normal course of business Used production equipment is not considered to be inventory—even if there is a clear intention to sell it in the near future Since the loan officer would not expect used equipment to be included in inventories, doing so would be intentionally misleading Acid-test ratio = Nevertheless, the old equipment is an asset that could be turned into cash If this were done, the company would immediately qualify for the loan since the P45 thousand in cash would be included in the numerator in both the current ratio and in the acid-test ratio Current ratio = Current rate = Current assets Current liabilities P290,000 + P45,000 = 2.0 (rounded) P164,000 5-31 Chapter Financial Statement Analysis –II Acid-test ratio = Cash + Marketable

being used to relieve bottlenecks in the plastic injection molding process and it would be desirable to keep this standby capacity We would advise Rome to fully and honestly explain the situation to the loan officer The loan officer might insist that the machine be sold before any loan is approved, but he might instead grant a waiver of the current ratio and acidtest ratio requirements on the basis that they could be satisfied by selling the old machine Or he may approve the loan on the condition that the equipment is pledged as collateral In that case, Rome would only have to sell the machine if he would otherwise be unable to pay back the loan Case (Financial Ratios for Ordinary Shareholders) [pesos in thousands] Requirement (1) Calculation of the gross margin percentage: Gross
