Answer:

Quick Ratio - Current Year = 1.44

Quick Ratio - Previous Year = 1.447826 rounded off to 1.45

The quick ratio of the business has declined as it has less current assets to pay of each $1 of current liability than it had previous year.

Explanation:

The quick ratio or acid test ratio is a financial ratio that is used to assess the liquidity of a business. It measures the amount of most liquid assets that the business has to pay each $1 of current liability of the business. The most liquid assets of a business are all of its current assets excluding inventory. The formula to calculate the quick ratio is,

Quick ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory) / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio - Current Year = (660 + 1440 + 3300 - 1080) / 3000

Quick Ratio - Current Year = 1.44

Quick Ratio - Previous Year = (920 + 2050 + 1400 - 1040) / 2300

Quick Ratio - Previous Year = 1.447826 rounded off to 1.45

The quick ratio of the business in previous year was approx. 1.45 which means that the business had $1.45 of most liquid current assets to pay each $1 of current liability while this year, it has $1.44 of current assets for each $1 of current liability. This means that the quick ratio of the business has declined as it has less current assets to pay of each $1 of current liability than it had previous year.

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

Please check the info below

Explanation:

1. For Osaka

Margin = Net Operating Income / Sales *100

= $ 792000 / $9900000 *100

= 8.00%

Turnover = Sales / Average Operating Assets * 100

= $ 9900000 / $ 2475000 * 100

= 4.00%

ROI = Margin * Turnover

= 8% *4 %

= 32.00%

Hence the correct answer is 32.00%

For Yokohama :

Margin = Net Operating Income / Sales *100

= $ 2900000 / $ 29000000*100

= 10.00%

Turnover = Sales / Average Operating Assets * 100

= $ 29000000 / $ 14500000* 100

= 2.00%

ROI = Margin * Turnover

= 10% *2 %

= 20.00%

Hence the correct answer is 20.00%

2. The correct answer is

Osaka = $ 371,250

Yokohama = $ 435,000

3. The correct answer is No

This is because since Osaka has a higher ROI, Yokohama’s greater amount of residual income is not an indication that it is better managed
