Question

Indigo Corporation was formed 5 years ago through a public subscription of common stock. Daniel Brown, who owns 15% of the common stock, was one of the organizers of Indigo and is its current president. The company has been successful, but it currently is experiencing a shortage of funds. On June 10, 2018, Daniel Brown approached the Topeka National Bank, asking for a 24-month extension on two $34,740 notes, which are due on June 30, 2018, and September 30, 2018. Another note of $6,020 is due on March 31, 2019, but he expects no difficulty in paying this note on its due date. Brown explained that Indigo’s cash flow problems are due primarily to the company’s desire to finance a $297,240 plant expansion over the next 2 fiscal years through internally generated funds.

The commercial loan officer of Topeka National Bank requested the following financial reports for the last 2 fiscal years.

Explanation / Answer

1. Current Ratio = current assets / current liabilities

Current assets = cash + notes receivable + accounts receivable + inventories

Current liabilities = accounts payable + notes payable + accrued liabilities

Current Ratio 2017 =(12400+131030+125790+49690)/(91660+61330+11510)=1.94:1

Current Ratio 2018 = (18040+147260+132340+105650)/(79080+75330+16660)=2.36:1

2. Acid-test (quick) ratio = quick assets / current liabilities

Quick assets = cash + notes receivable + accounts receivable

Current liabilities = accounts payable + notes payable + accrued liabilities

Acid test ratio 2017 = (12400+131030+125790)/(91660+61330+11510)=1.64:1

Acid test ratio 2018= (18040+147260+132340)/(79080+75330+16660)=1.74:1

3. Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold /Average inventory

Inventory turnover for 2018= (1533470-102670)/((49690+105650)/2)=18.42 times

Return on assets = net income /Average total assets

Return on assets 2017= 292962/((1750100+1673770)/2)=17.11%

Return on assets 2018=351468/((1750100+1848640)/2)=19.53%

5. Percentage change in 2018 = (value in 2018 - value in 2017)/value in 2017

Sales revenue =(2971790-2699340) /2699340 =10.09%

Cost of goods sold = ((1533470-102670)-(1433480-100490))/(1433480-100490)=7.34%

Gross margin = ((1438320+102670)-(1265860+100490))/(1265860+100490)=12.78%

Net income after sales =(351468-292962)/292962=19.97%

(note: inclusion of depreciation in cost of goods sold affects cost of goods sold and gross profit).
