Answer:

ABC Company

Financial Analysis:

A. The cost of goods sold has been increasing over the five years.

Explanation:

The gross profit ratio was 58.3% in year 1 and continued a downward spiral to 41.3% in year 5. This depicted an underlying fact that the cost of goods sold had been increasing over the years. The cost of goods sold influences the gross profit, and with the sales value remaining stable over the years, the ability of the company to generate enough profit out of its sales had been impaired greatly. Fortunately, for ABC Company, the increasing cost of goods sold did not increase alongside the fixed costs of running the business. This resulted to an increasing net profit ratio over the same period.

Liquidity measures how quickly an asset can be converted and used as a medium of exchange.

$50 bill is the most liquid because it can be readily used as a medium of exchange without any conversion.

The funds in a savings account is the second most liquid because because it must first be withdrawn from a bank account before it can be used as a medium of exchange. It can be converted to a medium of exchange within a day.

Aliun [14]

Answer:

A) See attached file for Balance Sheet

B) Current ratio = 1.26

C) Debt to Asset ratio = 18%

The Current ratio tells us that the company has 1.26 dollars of current assets to cover 1 dollar of current debt. That is a good thing, but to know if it´s enough covers, further information is needed. Others ratios can help to complete the picture as for example, quick ratio, assets turn over, inventory turn over, receivables turn over, etc. The debt to assets ratio. Tells us that the company owes 18% of its assets. The rest belongs to the stockholders. Again, it´s a good thing, but further information can help us to know if the company can invest in new projects, financing it with debt in a profitable way, for example, if Return on Assets is higher than debt rate.

Explanation:

B) Current ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

Current ratio = 52,140 / 41,400

Current ratio = 1.26

C)Debt to Asset ratio = (Total Liabilities / Total Assets)*100

Debt to Asset ratio = (121,400 / 691,400)*100

Debt to Asset ratio = 18%

The current ratio measures a company's ability to pay short-term obligations or those due within one year, by relating current assets with current liabilities (liquidity ratio). The debt to total assets ratio shows the percentage of a company's total assets that were financed by creditors (financial ratio).
