QUESTION: 1909

Over a given year, a firm's total assets increased by $8,000 and total liabilities decreased by $6,000. If the firm did not issue any new equity and paid out $1,800 in dividends, then its net income during the year was ________.

$12,200
$200
$3,800
$15,800

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Total assets - Total liabilities = Equity. Hence,
Change in Assets - Change in Liabilities = Change in Equity.
Thus, change in equity = 8,000-(-6,000) = $14,000 All of the net income not paid out as dividends goes into increasing the equity. Since no new shares were issued, Net Income = change in equity + dividends paid. This gives net income = $14,000 + $1,800 = $15,800.

QUESTION: 1912

The following data have been extracted from the financial statements of a firm for two years, 1993 and 1994:

1993 1994
Assets 10,895 12,444
Sales 8,465 9,275
Inventory 3,126 3,549
COGS 7,120 7,387
The average inventory processing period for 1994 equals ________.

164.9 days
223.6 days
114.7 days
198.2 days
Inventory turnover ratio = COGS/average inventory.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

This can be estimated using either net sales (as is the case with receivables) or the cost-of-goods- sold. COGS is preferable since it does not include the profit margins involved in net sales.
Therefore, two relevant ratios are:
E. Inventory turnover ratio = COGS/average inventory.
F. Average inventory processing period = 365/inventory turnover.
Typically, average inventory for a given year is taken to be the average of the ending values of the inventory for this year and the last year. For 1994, the average inventory equals (3549+3126)/2 = 3,338. Inventory turnover ratio = 7,387/3,338 = 2.21. Average inventory processing period = 365/2.21 = 164.9 days.
