 2-3 MKS
 6) A company has a current ratio of 4:1 and Quick ratio is 2.5;1. Assuming that the inventories are Rs 22500, find out total current assets and current liabilities.
Ans   Current ratio ---4:1
        Quick ratio ---2.5:1
         Inventory =4-2.5=1.5
         If inventory is 1.5, then Current assets =4
         If inventory = 22500, then current assets = 4X 22500/1.5 =60,000
         Current Liabilities = 60,000/4 = Rs  15000.
  7) From the following, calculate stock turnover ratio—
          Net Sales –Rs 2,00,000           Gross Profit = 25%              Opening stock = 5000
          Closing stock : 15000
   Ans – Stock Turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold/Average stock
              Cost of sales= sales-gross profit
               Cost of sales = 2,00,000 – 50,000 = 1,50,000
               Average stock = Opening stock + closing stock   =     20,000/2 =10,000                                                            
                                                            2
               1,50,000/10,000 = 15 times.
      8) Calculate Gross profit and sales—
         Average stock = Rs 80,000
         Stock turnover ratio =  6 times
         Selling price = 25% above cost
     Ans. Stock Turnover ratio = cost of sales/average stock
            6 = cost of sales/80,000
            Cost of sales = 80,000X 6 = 4,80,000
            Gross profit = 4,80,000 X 25/100 = 1,20,000
            Sales = Cost of sales + Gross Profit
                      4,80,000 + 1,20,000 = Rs 6,00,000
9)  A  Company made credit sales of Rs 7,20,000 during the year. If the collection period is 50 days and the year is assumed to be of 360 days. Calculate –
a) Average Debtors  b) Debtors Turnover ratio c)Opening and Closing Debtors if the closing Debtors are Rs 10,000 more than the opening Debtors.
Ans   Credit sales per day = 7,20,000/360 = Rs 2000 per day.
          Average Debtors = 2000 X 50 days = Rs 1,00,000
          Debtors Turnover ratio = Net credit sales/Average Debtors
                                                    = 7,20,000/1,00,000 = 7.2 times.
          Let the Opening Debtors be “x”
          Closing Debtors = “x + 10,000”
          Total Debtors = x + x + 10,000 = 2,00,000
                                   = 2x+ 10,000 = 2,00,000
                                   = 2x = 1,90,000
                                   x = 95,000 ( Opening Debtors = 95000)
          Closing Debtors = 95000 + 10000 = Rs 1,05,000

10) Calculate Operating ratio—                                       Rs
      Net Sales =                                                            5,40,000         
      Net Purchases                                                        3,10,000
      Opening Stock                                                          75,000
      Direct expenses                                                        32,000
      Closing Stock                                                           50,000
      Selling expenses                                                       25,000
      Distribution expenses                                               15,000

Operating ratio =  Cost of sales +Operating expenses/Net sales *100
 Cost of sales = Opening stock + Net purchases + direct expenses-closing stock
                        = 75000+3,10,000+32,000-50,000 = 3,67,000
 Operating expenses = Selling expenses + Distribution expenses
                                     = 25000+15000 = 40,000
 Operating ratio = 3,67,000+40,000/5,40,000 X 100 = 75.37%

11)  Net profit after Interest but before tax Rs 1,40,000
       15% Long term debt : Rs 4,00,000
       Shareholders fund : Rs 2,40,000
       Tax rate : 50%  , Calculate Return on capital employed.
Return on capital employed = Net profit before interest and tax/Capital employed X 100
Interest on long term debt = 15/100 X 4,00,000
                                                = 60,000
 Net Profit before Interest = 1,40,000 + 60,000 = 2,00,000
Capital employed = Debt + Shareholders fund
                                = 4,00,000 + 2,40,000 = 6,40,000
Return on Capital employed = 2,00,000/6,40,000 X 100 = 31.25%
12) Calculate Inventory Turnover Ratio—
      Sales = Rs 4,00,000      Average stock – Rs 55,000      Gross Loss ratio =10%
      Inventory Turnover ratio = Cost of sales/Average stock
                                                   =4,40,000/55000 = 8 times .
13) Calculate Fixed Assets turnover ratio-
     Cost of goods sold : Rs 16,80,000
     Gross profit = Rs 5,60,000
     Capital employed = Rs43,00,000
     Working capital = Rs 80,000
Fixed assets turnover ratio = Net sales/ Net fixed assets
Net sales = Cost of goods sold + Gross profit
                 = 16,80,000 + 5,60,000
                 = 22,40,000
Capital employed = Net fixed assets + Net working Capital
 4,00,000   = Net Fixed assets + 80,000
Net Fixed assets = 3,20,000
Fixed assets turnover ratio = 22,40,000/3,20,000 = 7 times


14) Calculate Current Asset Turnover ratio if –
       Cost of goods sold = Rs 7,50,000
       Gross profit = Rs 2,10,000
        Total Assets = Rs 3,00,00
        Capital employed = Rs 3,00,000
        Working capital : Rs 60,000

Current Assets Turnover ratio = Net Sales/ Net Current assets
Net sales = Cost of sales + Gross Profit
                 = 7,50,000 + 2,10,000
                 = 9,60,000
Capital Employed  = Net Fixed +Net Working Capital
Net Fixed Assets = Capital employed – Net working Capital
                              = 3,00,000 – 60,000
                              = 2,40,000.
Total Assets = Rs 3,00,000
Current Assets = Total assets – Fixed assets
                           = 3,00,000 – 2,40,000
                           = 60,000
Current Assets turnover ratio = Net Sales/Net current Assets
                                   = 9,60,000/60,000 = 16 times.

15) From the following information calculate =
      a) Debt equity ratio          b) Total Assets to Debt ratio        c)  Proprietary ratio

Equity share capital = Rs 20,00,000
Reserves and Surplus = Rs 12,00,000
12% Debentures = Rs 10,00,000
Bank Loan  = Rs 8,00,000
Current Liabilities = Rs 5,00,000
Fixed Assets = Rs 25,00,000
Goodwill = Rs 4,00,000
Current Assets = Rs 18,00,000

a)     Debt Equity Ratio = Debt/Equity
Debt = 12% Debentures + Bank Loan
          = 10,00,000 + 8,00,000
          = 18,00,000
Equity = Equity share capital + Reserves and Surplus
            = 20,00,000+12,00,000
            = Rs 32,00,000
Debt / Equity = 18,00,000/32,00,000 = 0.56:1
b)     Total Assets to Debt ratio = Total Assets/Long term Debt
Total Assets = Fixed assets + Goodwill + Current assets
                      = 25,00,000 + 4,00,000 + 18,00,000
                  =Rs 47,00,000
Long Term Debt = 12% Debentures + Bank Loan
                              = 18,00,000
Total Assets to Debt Ratio = 47,00,000/18,00,000 = 2.6:1

c)     Proprietory Ratio = Equity/Total Assets

=  32,00,000/47,00,000 = 0.68 or 68%
