Question No: 52 ( Marks: 5 )
Following data is taken from the ABC Corporation.
1999 (Rs.) 2000 (Rs.)
Total assets 400,000 300,000
Total liabilities 300,000 180,000
Share capital (Rs. 10 par 100,000 90,000
Total debt 120,000 140,000
Requirement:
Calculate the following.
a) Debt ratio (2.5)
 Debt to total asset ratio (2.5)
Debt ratio = total debt / total assets
= 120000/ 400000
= .3
Debt ratio = total debt / total assets
= 140,000/300,000
= .46
Debt to total assets ratio = total debt / total assets
= 120000/400000
= .3
Debt to total assets ratio = total debt / total assets
= 140000/300000
= .46
Question No: 53 ( Marks: 5 )
Assume that you wish to invest in the stocks of a high-tech corporation and that one of your investments
goals is to receive dividend income from the stocks that you purchase. You begin your research by
examining Microsoft, one of the world’s most successful software corporations. You quickly discover that,
as of 1997, Microsoft had never paid a dividend. Furthermore, the company’s 1997 balance sheet reported
holdings of nearly Rs. 9 billion in cash and highly liquid securities. With all of these liquid resources
available, why do you suppose that Microsoft has never paid a cash dividend to its stockholders?
As the cash balance as well as liquid securities of the company are on high side which depicts that
the company has never paid cash dividend but paid stock dividend instead of cash dividend. if the
company had paid cash dividend , its cash balance and liquid securities would have been reduced.
Paper#2
Question No: 43 ( Marks: 3 )
If the retained earnings account has a debit balance, how is it presented in the balance
sheet and what is it called?
If a corporation has experienced significant net losses since it was formed, it could have
negative retained earnings (reported as a debit balance instead of the normal credit
balance in its Retained Earnings account). When this is the case, the account is described as
"Deficit" or "Accumulated Deficit" on the corporation's balance sheet.
Question No: 44 ( Marks: 3 )
Using the following information, compute the dividend yield to the nearest tenth.
Income Rs. 130,000
Beginning shares outstanding 250,000
Ending shares outstanding 270,000
Current price per share Rs. 7.50
Dividend per share Rs. 1.20
Dividend yield = divi per share / market price
= 1.20/7.50
= 0.16
Question No: 45 ( Marks: 3 )
What information is provided by the balance sheet to the short term and log term
creditors?
short-term creditors: Interest of short-term creditors is to watch the ability of business to meet its debts
as these become due; i.e. Short-term solvency. They want to see whether business has the ability to
meet its current liabilities out of its current assets. If the entity can not maintain a short-term debt
paying ability, it will not be able to maintain a long-term debt-paying ability, nor will it be able to satisfy
its stockholders.
long-term creditors: Interest of long-term creditors is to see the long-term solvency of the business and
rate of return on their loans. Solvency is the ability to meet outside liabilities from total assets. Indicators
of solvency are the Long-term Solvency, which are as follows:-
i) Debt –To-Total-Assets: The debt-to-total assets ratio is derived by dividing a firm’s
total debt by its total assets: It indicates percentage of total assets financed by debt
= Total outside liabilities /Debt = 75 = 37.5%
Total assets (total liabilities +shareholders funds) 200
Question No: 46 ( Marks: 5 )
Assume that you are a commercial loan officer at a large bank. One of your clients
recently submitted an application for Rs. 300,000 five year loan. You have worked with
this business before on numerous occasions and have periodically been forced to deal
with late and missed payments attributed to cash flow problems. Thus you are surprised
to see in the business plan accompanying the application that the management expects
to reduce the company s operating cycle from 190 days to 90 days. A footnote to the
business plan indicates that the reduction in the operating cycle will result from a tighter
credit policy and the implementation of a just-in-time inventory system.
Requirement:
Would the company be able to reduce the operating cycle by applying the new strategy
and would you give the loan to the company on this basis?
As the company has reduced its operating cycle from 190 days to 90 days which
has tightened the credit policy, as a result of which sales of the company will be
reduced which will decrease the revenue of the company and profit of the
company will also be decreased. Implementations of just in time inventory
system will also tight the liquid position of the company. Keeping in view this
situation, application for loan of Rs. 300,000 will not be exceed to by the bank.

Question No: 47 ( Marks: 5 )

Question No: 49 ( Marks: 3 )
What do you understand by the efficiency of the operating cycle?
Efficiency of operating cycle/process: It is determined by activity ratios, keeping in view the
conversion process, which is as follows:-
Cash/assets ---- → Inventory ----→ Receivables ---- → Cash
Processing Sales, collection
Operating Cycle=Inventory sale days (average) +Receivable Collection days (average).
The shorter the operating cycle, the higher the quality of current assets and the greater the
efficiency of management.
Question No: 50 ( Marks: 3 )
What will be the effect on the book value per share of the common stock of a company, if
the corporation obtains a loan?
When a corporation obtains a bank loan there is no effect upon book value per
share of common stock. Assets and liabilities both increase by its amount.
Therefore, net assets will remain unchanged.
Question No: 51 ( Marks: 5 )
Current assets and current liabilities data for companies D and E are summarized as

 For Company D:
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
= 400,000 / 200,000
= 2
 For Company E:
Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
= 900,000 / 700,000
= 1.285
Company D is more liquid then E.

Paper#4
Question No: 45 ( Marks: 3 )
How does working capital help management in making rationale decisions?
Management of working capital
Guided by the above criteria, management will use a combination of policies and
techniques for the management of working capital[16]. These policies aim at managing the
current assets (generally cash and cash equivalents, inventories and debtors) and the short
term financing, such that cash flows and returns are acceptable.
 Cash management. Identify the cash balance which allows for the business to meet day to day
expenses, but reduces cash holding costs.
 Inventory management. Identify the level of inventory which allows for uninterrupted
production but reduces the investment in raw materials - and minimizes reordering costs - and
hence increases cash flow; see Supply chain management; Just In Time (JIT); Economic order
quantity (EOQ); Economic production quantity (EPQ).
 Debtors management. Identify the appropriate credit policy, i.e. credit terms which will
attract customers, such that any impact on cash flows and the cash conversion cycle will be
offset by increased revenue and hence Return on Capital (or vice versa); see Discounts and
allowances.
 Short term financing. Identify the appropriate source of financing, given the cash conversion
cycle: the inventory is ideally financed by credit granted by the supplier; however, it may be
necessary to utilize a bank loan (or overdraft), or to "convert debtors to cash" through
"factoring".

1) differentiate between profit and profitability(3 marks)
Profit is one of financials performances of a company and an evidence of its success, which is achieved
if the income exceeds the expenses. Profit growth determines the potential growth of the company,
increases its business activity.
The term “profitability” has its origin from the rent, which literally means income. Thus,
the term “profitability” in broad sense refers to yield, revenue performance and efficiency.
Profitability indicators are used for comparative assessment of individual businesses
performance and industries that produce different amounts and types of products.
2) why retained earnings are more preferable for stockholders than net
income?(3 marks)
Retained earnings are more preferable for stockholders because retained earning
are part and parcel of equity capital. While calculating the net worth of the
business, equity capital + retained earnings + additional paid in capital are add up.
Book value per share increases as the retained earnings increases.
