Answer:
Apple Inc.
a. Calculate Apple Inc.'s working capital, current ratio, and acid-test ratio at September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round your ratio answers to 1 decimal place. Enter "Working capital" in million of dollars.)
September 2014:
a) Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
= $45,660,000 - $34,978,000 = $10,682,000
b) Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
= $45,660 / $34,978 = 1.3 : 1
c) Acid-Test Ratio = Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities
= $45,660 - 930 / $34,978 = 1.3 : 1
September 2013:
a) Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
= $41,940,000 - $21,160,000 = $20,780,000
b) Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
= $41,940 / $21,160 = 2 : 1
c) Acid-Test Ratio Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities
= $41,940 -1,200 / $21,160 = 1.9 : 1
b. Calculate Apple's ROE for the years ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round your answers to 1 decimal place.)
September 2014
ROE = Net Income/Equity x 100 = $26,050/$77,290 x 100 = 33.7%
September 2013
ROE = Net Income/Equity x 100 = $14,160/$48,050 x 100 = 29.5%
c. Calculate Apple's ROI, showing margin and turnover, for the years ended September 27, 2014, and September 28, 2013. (Round "Turnover" answers to 2 decimal places. Round your percentage answers to 1 decimal place.)
September 2014
ROI = Margin x Turnover = Net Operating Income/Sales x Sales/Average Assets
= ($33,950/$108,400) x ($108,400/$120,880)
= 0.31 x 0.90
= 0.279 = 27.9%
Average Assets = $120,880 ($147,820 + 93,940) /2
September 2013
ROI = margin = turnover = Net Operating Income/Sales x Sales/Average Assets
= ($18,530/$65,370) x ($65,370/$70,880)
= 0.28 x 0.92
= 0.258 = 25.8%
Average Assets = $70,880 ($93,940 + 47,820) /2

b) Working Capital is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. It shows the amount of finance needed for meeting day-to-day operations of an entity. Working capital measures a company's liquidity, operational efficiency, and its short-term financial health. A healthy entity has some excess of current assets over current liabilities in order to continue to run the business operations in the short-run. Working capital can also be measured in relative terms with the use of ratios, especially the current ratio and the acid-test ratio.
c) ROE means Return on equity. It is a financial performance measure calculated by dividing net income by shareholders' equity. Since shareholders' equity is equal to a company's assets minus its debt, ROE is considered as the return on net assets. As with return on capital, a ROE measures management's ability to generate income from the equity available to it.
d) Return on Investment (ROI) is a financial performance measure which evaluates the efficiency of an investment or compares the efficiency of a number of different investments. ROI tries to directly measure the amount of return on a particular investment, relative to the investment's cost. As a financial metric, it measures the probability of gaining a return from an investment.
