Answer:
(a) Ratios:
1. Current ratio
= Current Assets/Current Liabilities
= $113,666/ $ 32,676
= 3.48
2. Receivables turnover
= Net Sales/Average Accounts Receivable
= $462,500/3,250
= 142.31
3. Inventory turnover
= Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory
= $231,250/17,897
= 12.92
4. Debt to total assets Ratio
= Total Debts/Total Assets * 100
= $38,676/$155,466 * 100
= 25%
5. Times interest earned
= EBIT/Interest Expense
= $98,863/413
= 239.38
6. Gross profit rate
= Gross profit/Sales * 100
= $231,250/462,500 * 100
= 0.5
= 50%
7. Profit margin
= Net Income/Sales * 100
= $78760/462,500 * 100
= 0.17
= 17%
8. Asset turnover
= Sales/Average Assets
= $462,500/155,466
= 2.97
9. Return on assets
= Net Income/Assets * 100
= $78,760/155,466 * 100
= 50.66%
10. Return on common stockholders' equity
= Net Income/Stockholders' Equity * 100
= $78,760/116,790 * 100
= 67.44%
(b) Comment on your findings from part (a).
1. Current ratio : This ratio shows CCC INC.'s ability to settle its current liabilities or financial obligations from its current assets. The company can comfortably settle its current financial obligations 3.48 times without borrowing. It only needs to manage its working capital well so that it does not run out of cash.
2. Receivables turnover : This ratio shows CCC INC.'s ability to collect its accounts receivable. It does not take long for CCC INC. to receive cash from credit customers. When the receivables turnover of 142.31 is divided into 365 days, we find that it takes only 2.6 days to collect from customers. This is very good.
3. Inventory turnover : This ratio shows how many times the company turns over its inventories. Its inventory is turned 12.92 times in a year.
4. Debt to total assets Ratio: This ratio shows the company's debts are only 25% of the total assets. The remaining 75% of the assets are contributed by equity. The company can still take on more debts when necessary.
5. Times interest earned : The interest expense is covered 239 times by the EBIT. This shows the company can settle its interest expense from current earnings.
6. Gross profit rate : This ratio shows the ability of the management to manage the cost of goods sold relative to the net sales. The gross profit represents 50% of the sales.
7. Profit margin : The profit ratio or margin ratio shows the ability of the managers to ensure that operating expenses do not consume the sales revenue. They could only preserve 17% of the sales revenue for the owners after expenses and income taxes.
8. Asset turnover : The company generated 2.97 times of the assets it used for operations. This looks good and sound.
9. Return on assets : What is the return made from the assets? This ratio shows that CCC INC. generates 50.66% net income on each of the assets it has deployed in operations.
10. Return on common stockholders' equity : The company generates 67.44% returns for the stockholders.
