Since Marsh, Inc. is experiencing a sharp increase in sales activity and a steady increase in production, the management of Marsh has adopted an aggressive working capital policy. Therefore, the company's current level of net working capital

  1. Would most likely be the same as in any other type of business condition as business cycles tend to balance out overtime?
  2. Would most likely be lower than under other business conditions in order that the company can maximize profits while minimizing working capital investment.
  3. Would most likely be higher than under other business conditions so that there will be sufficient funds to replenish assets.
  4. Would most likely be higher than under other business conditions as the company's profits are increasing.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

When a firm has an aggressive working capital policy, management keeps the investment in working capital at a minimum. Thus, a growing company would want to invest its funds in capital goods and not in idle assets. This policy maximizes return on investment at the price of the risk of minimal liquidity.

As a company becomes more conservative in its working capital policy, it would tend to have a(n)

  1. Decrease in its acid-test ratio.
  2. Increase in the ratio of current liabilities to concurrent liabilities.
  3. Increase in the ratio of current assets to units of output.
  4. Increase in funds invested in common stock and a decrease in funds invested in marketable securities.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

A conservative working capital policy minimizes liquidity risk by increasing working capital (current assets -- current liabilities). The result is that the company forgoes the potentially higher returns available from using the additional working capital to acquire long-term assets. A conservative working capital policy is characterized by a higher current ratio (current assets + current liabilities) and acid-test ratio (quick assets + current liabilities). Thus, the company will increase current assets or decrease current liabilities. Conservative policy finances assets using long-term or permanent funds rather than short- term sources.

A man offers to buyyourcarwith4 equal annual payments of $3,000, beginning 2 years from today. Assuming you're indifferent to cash versus credit, that you can invest at 10%, and that you want to receive $9000 for the car, should you accept?

  1. Yes; present value is $9,510.
  2. Yes; present value is $11,373.
  3. No; present value is $8646.
  4. No; present value is $7461.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

A normal present-value-of-an annuity table assumes the first payment is one year away. In this case, the first payment is two years away. Thus, this should be viewed as a five- payment annuity minus one payment. The factor at 10% for five payments is 3.791. Subtract from that the initial payment (year 1) which will not be made, a factor of .909, leaving a factor of 2.882. Multiplying 2.882 times $3,000 results in a present value of $8,646.

  3. Acquisition of land valued at $50,000 through the issuance of common stock.
  4. Purchase of $50000 of trading securities for cash.

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.
