Free Spirit Industries Inc.’s current ratio is 1.3333, and tis quick ratio is 0.7467; Jong Foodstuffs Inc.’s current ratio is 1.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1. Jong Foodstuffs Inc. has a better ability to meet its short-term liabilities that Free Spirit. - TRUE

2. A current ratio of 1 indicates that the book value of the company’s current assets is equal to the book value of its current liabilities. - TRUE

3. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations. - TRUE

4. Compared to Free Spirit, Jong Foodstuffs has less liquidity and a lower reliance on outside cash flow to finance its short-term obligations. FALSE

5. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving. FALSE

Explanation:

Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories) / Current Liabilities

The Current Ratio is a liquidity measure that shows the ratio between current asset and current liabilities. It tells how many dollars of the current asset are per dollar of current debts, that gives an idea of the company`s ability to perform its debts.    

The Quick Ratio is also a liquidity indicator, but using its most liquid assets, to pay its current liabilities at maturity. The inventory, although it is a current asset, is not considered, since it cannot be converted into cash in a very short term.

The difference between the Quick Ratio and the Current Ratio, implies that while both are measures of the company's ability to pay its debts, the quick ratio also tells how much the company depends on its inventory to get that objective.

As both ratios are bigger in Jong Foodstuffs Inc.’s case, statement 1 is True and statement 4 is False. Because how ratios are calculated, and the meaning of its terms, statement 2 and 3 are True. And because an increased in current ratio, may implicate a rise in inventory, and therefore a decreased in quick ratio, statement 4 is False.

The last dividend paid by Wilden Corporation was $1.55. The dividend growth rate is expected to be constant at 1.5% for 2 years,
shtirl [24]

Answer:

e)  $37.05

Explanation:

Using the dividend growth model, the value of a stock is the present value of the future dividends receivable discounted at the required rate of return . The required rate of return is given as 12%.

So we discount the year 3 dividend using the dividend growth model formula

P = D (1+g)/r-g

r- rate of return, g = growth rate

Present value of the future dividends:

PV of Year 1 = 1.55(1.015)m × 1.12^(-1)

                     = 1.4047

PV of Year 2 = 1.55 (1.015)(1.015) × 1.12^(-2)

                     =  1.27

PV of Year 3 (this will be done in two steps)

Step 1; PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend

= (1.55)(1.015)^2×(1.08)/(0.12-0.08)

=43.114

Step 2 : PV (in yr 2) of year 3 dividend

  =43.114 × (1.12^(-2))

   = 34.37

Best estimate of stock = 1.40 + 1.27 +34.37

                                       = $37.05

Note

To discount the year 3 dividend, we use two steps. The first stp helps get the PV in year 2, and step 3 helps to take it further to the PV in year 0

In addition to the three basic financial statements, which of the following is also a required financial statement? O Statement
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Statement of Cash Flows.

Explanation:

The financial statement comprises of income statement, balance sheet, statement of stockholder equity and the statement of cash flows. It is explained below

In the income statement, the total revenues and the total expenses are recorded.  

If the total revenues are more than the total expenditure then the company earns net income

And, If the total revenues are less than the total expenditure then the company have a net loss

This net income or net loss would reflect in the statement of the retained earning account.

In the balance sheet, the assets, liabilities, and stockholder equity is recorded. In this the accounting equation is used which is shown below:  

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity  

The debit and credit side of the balance sheet should always be equal and balanced.  

Moreover, it always is prepared on the specified date.

The statement of stockholder's equity comprises common stock and retained earnings.  

The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

And, the ending balance of the common stock = Beginning balance of common stock + issued shares

There are three types of activities in the cash flow statement which are described below:  

1. Operating activities: It includes those transactions which affect the working capital after net income. The increase in current assets and a decrease in current liabilities would be deducted whereas the decrease in current assets and an increase in current liabilities would be added.  

These changes in working capital would be adjusted. Moreover, the depreciation expense is added to the net income and the loss on sale of assets is added whereas the gain on sale of assets is deducted  

2. Investing activities: It records those activities which include purchase and sale of the long term assets. The purchase is an outflow of cash whereas sale is an inflow of cash

3. Financing activities: It records those activities which affect the long term liability and shareholder equity balance. The issue of shares is an inflow of cash whereas redemption and dividend is an outflow of cash.
