Claus on, Inc. grants credit terms of 1/15. Net 30 and projects gross sales for next year of $2,000,000. The credit manager estimates that 40% of their customers pay on the discount date1 40% on the net due date, and 20% pay 15 days after the net due date. Assuming uniform sales and a 360-day year1 what is the projected days' sales outstanding (rounded to the nearest whole day)?

  1. 20 days.
  2. 24 days.
  3. 27 days.
  4. 30 days.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Given that 40% of sales will be collected on the 15th day, 40% on the 30th day, and 20% on the 45th day, the days' sales outstanding can be determined by weighting the collection period for each group of `receivables by its collection percentage. Hence, the projected days' sales outstanding equal 27 days [(40% x 15) ÷ (40% x 30) + (20% x 45)].

Management of a firm does not want to violate a working capital restriction contained in its bond indenture. If the firm's current ratio falls below 2.0 to 1, technically it will have defaulted. The firm's current ratio is now 2.2 to 1. If current liabilities are $200 million, the maximum new commercial paper that can be issued to finance inventory expansion is

  1. $20 million.
  2. $40 million.
  3. $240 million.
  4. $180 million.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

If current liabilities are $200 million and the current ratio (current assets ÷ current liabilities) is 2.2, current assets must be $440 million (2.2 x $200 million). If X amount of commercial paper is issued to finance inventory (current assets), thereby increasing both current assets and current liabilities by, the level of current assets at which the new current ratio will be 2.0 is $480 million ($440 million + $40 million of commercial paper).

Determining the appropriate level of working capital for firm requires

  1. Evaluating the risks associated with various levels of fixed assets and the types of debt used to finance these assets.
  2. Changing the capital structure and dividend policy for the firm.
  3. Maintaining short-term debt at the lowest possible level because it is ordinarily more expensive than long-term debt.
  4. Offsetting the profitability of current assets and current liabilities against the probability of technical insolvency.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A company must maintain a level of working capital sufficient to pay bills as they come due. Failure to do so is technical insolvency and can result in involuntary bankruptcy. Unfortunately, holding current assets for purposes of paying bills is not profitable for a company because they usually offer a low return compared with longer-term investments. Thus, the skillful management of working capital requires a balancing of a firm's desire for profit with its need for adequate liquidity.

The study package is helpful in passing your exam since the practice questions are copied from real exam. But in order to learn the modules in details you need books.
