Answer:
Explanation:
From the given information, the ratio analysis for the year 2017 at OHARA Company can be computed as follows:
1. Working capital = Current (assets - liabilities)
Working capital = $458900 - $195500
Working capital = $263,400 (for 2017)
Given that the working capital for 2016 = $160,500
Thus, the % increase of 2017 over 2016 = 64.11% increase.
2. Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
Current ratio = 458,900/195,500
Current ratio = 2.35 (for 2017)
Given that the Current ratio for 2016 = 1.65
Thus, the % increase of 2017 over 2016 = 42.43% increase
3. Free cash flows = Operating cash flows - Capital expenditure - dividends
Free cash flows = $190800 - $92000 - $31000
Free cash flows = $67,800
Given that the free cash flow for 2016 = $48,700
Thus, the % increase of 2017 over 2016 = 39.22%
4.
![Debt to assets ratio = \dfrac{Total \ debt} { total \ assets}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=Debt%20to%20assets%20ratio%20%3D%20%5Cdfrac%7BTotal%20%5C%20debt%7D%20%7B%20total%20%20%5C%20assets%7D)
Debt to assets ratio = 395,500/10,34,200
Debt to assets ratio = 38.24%
Given that the debt to assets ratio for 2016 = 31%
Thus, the % increase of 2017 over 2016 = 23.35%
5.
Earnings per share = ![\dfrac{earnings \ available \ to \ equity \ shares}{weighted \ a verage \ equity \ shares}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7Bearnings%20%5C%20%20available%20%5C%20%20to%20%5C%20%20equity%20%20%5C%20shares%7D%7Bweighted%20%20%5C%20a%20verage%20%20%5C%20%20equity%20%5C%20shares%7D)
Earnings per share = ![\dfrac{153100}{50000}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cdfrac%7B153100%7D%7B50000%7D)
Earnings per share = $3.06
Given that the earnings per share = $3.15
Thus, the % decrease of 2017 over 2016 = 2.86%
