Question

Note:

This question has been answered totally from 1-8 questions in previuos requested, the only part ( need to answer ) I need to help me with that to have completed the calculations, provide a brief, two- to four-sentence rationale for how these calculations can be used in analyzing the financial position of a company and why they are important. Your rationale should explain what information the ratio provides to the reader and how the reader may use that information.

I will repeat tyoing the question for make it clearing .

Requiremnts:

1. Calculate XYZ’s 2013 current and quick ratios based on the projected balance sheet and income statement data.

2. Calculate the 2013 inventory turnover, days sales outstanding (DSO), fixed assets turnover, and total assets turnover.

3. Calculate the 2013 debt-to-assets and times-interest-earned ratios.

4. Calculate the 2013 operating margin, profit margin, basic earning power (BEP), return on assets (ROA), and return on equity (ROE).

5. Calculate the 2013 price/earnings ratio, and market/book ratio.

6. Use the extended DuPont equation to provide a summary and overview of XYZ’s financial condition as projected for 2013.

7. Use the following simplified 2013 balance sheet to show, in general terms, how an improvement in the DSO would tend to affect the stock price. For example, if the company could improve its collection procedures and thereby lower its DSO from 45.6 days to the 32-day industry average without affecting sales, how would that change “ripple through” the financial statements (shown in thousands below) and influence the stock price?

Accounts receivable $878 Debt $1,545

Other current assets 1,802

Net fixed assets 817 Equity 1,952

Total assets $3,497 Liabilities plus equity $3,497

First, we need to calculate XYZ’s daily sales.

Daily sales = Sales / 365

Daily sales = $7,035,600 / 365

Daily sales = $19,275.62

Target A/R = Daily sales × Target DSO

Target A/R = $19,276 × 32

Target A/R = $616,820

Freed-up cash = old A/R – new A/R

Freed-up cash = $878,000 – $616,820

Freed-up cash = $261,180

Note : All questions from 1-8 has been answered, but the only part I need help with to write the analysis or to provide a brief, two- to four-sentence rationale for how these calculations can be used in analyzing the financial position of a company and why they are important.
