Problem
Formula
1. Common Size Cash Ratio
Cash ÷ Total Assets
500/32000=
500/29200=
1.56%
In this example, RHS appears to have a stable/unstable cash to total assets ratio.
1.71% However additional years would be need to be compared.
2. Current Liabilities Ratio
Current Liabilities ÷ Total Equities
2300/32300=
2400/29200=
0.07%
0.08%
3. Current Ratio
Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities
5000/2300=
3300/2400=
2.17%
The current ratio increased, which means RHS has $__0.87___ of its current assets
1.30% for every $1 of current liabilities.
4. Plant Age in Years
Accumulated Depreciation ÷ Annual Depreciation
17800/1800=
16000/1200=
9.80%
5. Revenue to Assets Ratio
Total Revenue ÷ Total Assets
24000/32000=
16400/29200=
0.75%
6. Profit Margin
Change in Net Assets ÷ Total Revenues x 100
4000/24000×100=
2000/18400×100=
16.60%
13.30% The plant age increased/decreased.
0.63%
Due to changes in the Profit Margin, RHS appears to be a healthy/unhealthy
10.80% organization.
BONUS: The change in plant age was due to _total resources __________________
and __total assets__________________.
