Question
Paul Sabin organized Sabin Electronics 10 years ago to produce and sell several electronic devices on which he had secured patents. Although the company has been fairly profitable, it is now experiencing a severe cash shortage. For this reason, it is requesting a $510,000 long-term loan from Gulfport State Bank, $105,000 of which will be used to bolster the Cash account and $405,000 of which will be used to modernize equipment. The company’s financial statements for the two most recent years follow:

During the past year, the company introduced several new product lines and raised the selling prices on a number of old product lines in order to improve its profit margin. The company also hired a new sales manager, who has expanded sales into several new territories. Sales terms are 3/10, n/30. All sales are on account.

b. Present the income statement in common-size format down through net income. (Round your percentage answers to 1 decimal place (i.e., 0.1234 should be entered as 12.3).)
Explanation / Answer
We summarize as below
1) working capital represents amount invested by business that is used in day to day activities
working capital = Current assets - current liabilities
This year working capital can be calculated as
= 1542000 - 750000
= 792000
Last year working capital can be calculated as
= 1117000 - 440000,
= 677000
2) current Ratio, - it represents how much current assets are available to cover current liabilities
Current ratio = Current assets / current liabilities
This year Current ratio can be calculated as
=1542000 / 750000
= 2.06 : 1
Last year Current ratio can be calculated as
= 1117000 / 440000
= 2.54 : 1
3) Quick ratio- it measures how much liquid assets are available to cover current liabilities
quick ratio = liquid assets / current liabilities
liquid assets will constitue of cash , Accounts receivables & marketable securities
For this year liquid assets = 74000+ 490000 + 0
= 564000
Quick Ratio = 564000 / 750000
= 0.752 : 1
For last year liquid assets = 160000 + 310000 + 19000
= 489000
Qucik ratio = 489000 / 440000
= 1.11 : 1
4) Average collection period - It represents the average time in which accounts receivables are collected
Average collection period = (365 days x Average receivables) / credit sales
For last year average receiavbles = ( receivables at beginning + receivables at end) / 2
= ( 260000 + 310000) / 2
= 285000
Credit sales for last year = 4380000
Average collection period = ( 365 x 285000) / 4380000
= 23.7 days
For this year average receivables = ( 310000 + 490000) / 2
= 400000
Credit sales = 5050000
Average collection period = ( 365 x 400000 ) / 5050000
= 28.9 days
Current Assets Cash 74000 160000 Accounts Receivables 490000 310000 Prepaid Expenses 23000 23000 Marketable securitites 0 19000
