10. Receivables Turnover Ratio: short-term liquidity and operating efficiency
= Net Credit Sales / Average Net Trade Receivables
- Collective cash from customers so it does not tie up funds in unproductive assets
- Turnover reflects how many times trade receivables was recorded and collected
- Reflects company granting and collecting activities
- Receivables turnover ratio is often converted to a time basis known as the average age
of trade receivables
Average Age of Receivables = Days in a Year / Receivables Turnover Ratio
11. Inventory Turnover Ratio: measures both liquidity and operating efficiency
= Cost of Sales / Average Inventory
- Reflects relationship between inventory to the volume of sales during the period
- Increase in ratio is usually favourable
- If ratio is too high, indication that sales were lost because items were not in stock
- Vary significantly between industries
- Inventory turnover ratio is often converted to a time basis called average days’ supply in
inventory
- Average day’s supply in inventory = days in a year / inventory turnover ratio
12. Trade Payables Turnover Ratio: evaluates the company’s effectiveness in managing
payables to trade creditors
= Cost of Sales / Average Net Trade Payables
- In reality numerator should be net credit purchases, not cost of sales
- We use cost of sales as approximation, assuming all purchases are made on credit
- Purchases = Cost of Sales + Ending Inventory – Beginning Inventory
- Converted to a time basis known as the average age of payables
- Average Age of Payables = Days in a Year / Trade Payables Turnover Ratio
Using Ratios to Analyze the Operating Cycle
- Operating cycle 3 phases: acquisition of inventory, sale of inventory, collection of cash
from customers
- 3 ratios tot analyze operations: trade payables turnover, inventory turnover, receivables
turnover
- each ratio measures the number of days it takes to complete an operating activity
Tests of Solvency
- tests of solvency: ratios that measure a company’s ability to meet its long-term
obligations
13. Times Interest Earned Ratio: shows if the company is able to pay its interest payments
= (Net Earnings + Interest Expense + Income Tax Expense) / Interest Expense
