Answer:

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

 

Liquidity and Solvency Measures Computations

Current ratio $3,093,000 ÷ $840,000

Working capital $3,093,000 – $840,000

Accounts receivable turnover $8,280,000 ÷ [($714,000 + $740,000) ÷ 2]

Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities $2,690,000 ÷ $1,690,000

Inventory turnover $4,100,000 ÷ [($1,072,000 + $1,100,000) ÷ 2]

Number of days' sales in receivables [($714,000 + $740,000) ÷ 2] ÷ ($8,280,000 ÷ 365)

Number of days' sales in inventory [($1,072,000 + $1,100,000) ÷ 2] ÷ ($4,100,000 ÷ 365)

Times interest earned ($989,400 + $127,000) ÷ $127,000

Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity $2,530,000 ÷ $4,077,000

Quick ratio $1,866,000 ÷ $840,000

Profitability Measures Computations

Asset turnover $8,280,000 ÷ [($5,783,000 + $5,593,000) ÷ 2]

Return on total assets ($801,420 + $127,000) ÷ [($6,607,000 + $6,417,000) ÷ 2]

Return on stockholders’ equity $801,420 ÷ [($4,077,000 + $3,873,150) ÷ 2]

Return on common stockholders’ equity ($801,420 – $65,000) ÷ [($3,589,500 + $3,445,920) ÷ 2]

Earnings per share on common stock ($801,420 – $65,000) ÷ 250,000 shares

Price-earnings ratio $35 ÷ $3.05

Dividends per share $175,000 ÷ 250,000 shares

Dividend yield $0.70 ÷ $35

Two of the computations use shares.

Use the following comparative income statement form to enter amounts you identify from the computations on the Liquidity and Solvency Measures panel and on the Profitability Measures panel. Compute any missing amounts and complete the horizontal analysis columns. Enter percentages as decimal amounts, rounded to one decimal place. When rounding, look only at the figure to the right of one decimal place. If < 5, round down and if ≥ 5, round up. For example, for 32.048% enter 32.0%. For 32.058% enter 32.1%.

BartSMP [9]
The answer is: <span>cyclical because jobs are lost in many industries as they cut production
when the economy goes into recession, most people will have lower purchasing power which will force them to buy less products.
This situation will force companies to lower the amount of supply that they give to the market, which will lead to them cutting off several employees in order to maintain financial stability.</span>

During 2018, raines umbrella corp. Had sales of $705,000. Cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses, and depreciat
Ghella [55]

Answer: Even though Raines Umbrella Corp has a net loss, its operating cash flow is positive $165,000. This indicates that the company has sufficient cash balance to pay dividends of $102,000.

The net new long-term debt is $7000.


We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

<u>Calculating Net Income:</u>

 Sales                                                       705000

less:  Cost of goods sold                              -445000

  Administrative and Selling expenses        -95000

  Depreciation                                      -140000

  EBIT                                                        25000

less: Interest                                                        70000

Net loss                                                       -45000

<u>Calculating operating Cash Flow OCF:</u>

OCF = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes

Since Raines has a net loss, there are no taxes. So

OCF = 25000 + 140000 - 0

<u>\mathbf{OCF = 165000}</u>

<u>Calculation of cash flow from assets:</u>

\mathbf{Cash Flow from assets = OCF + net change in capex spending + change in net working capital}

Since spending on net fixed assets and net working capital is zero,

<u>\mathbf{Cash Flow from assets = OCF = 165000}</u>

<u>Calculation of cash flow to stockholders</u>

\mathbf{Cashflow to stock holders = Dividends paid - net new shares issued}

\mathbf{Cashflow to stock holders = 102000 - 0 = 102000}

<u>Cash flow to creditors:</u>

We determine cash flow to creditors as follows:

\mathbf{Cashflow to creditors = Interest paid - Net new borrowings}

\mathbf{Cashflow to creditors = 70000 - Net new borrowings}\\

<u>The Cash Flow identity is given by:</u>

\mathbf{Cashflow from assets = Cash flow to shareholders + Cashflow to creditors}\\

\mathbf{165000 = 102000 + 70000 - Net new debt}

\mathbf{Net new debt = 7000}
