You are working as an Assistant accountant, this morning you manager asked you to prepare a report to beread in the Board meeting of Crescent Hyper-store (CH).CH is situated in a porch area of Dubai, due to its infrastructure it is very famous all around the world. It shelves all kind of food, grocery; crockery, electronic and other daily need stuff. You are also known that in the meeting they are going to discuss a new project to open some shops far from the down-town so people how has trouble to come here due to traffic can save their time. The project would cost approximately $8.3million for 5 new shops.

You are required to calculate Profitability, liquidity,Efficiency and investment ratios and interpret the financial position and make conclusion based on your findings. And also include the limitations of your conclusion.

Answer: (L.O 4.1, 4.2)

Interpretation of both years 2012 and 2013 to know thecompany's performance i.e; if the business is performing well by comparing the past years and other companies, are the economic, political and social circumstances favourable for normal trade, the prospects of region in which the business is operating.

We can do this through 4 accounting ratios:

LIQUIDITY RATIOS

2013

Current assets ratios = Current assets/ current liabilities= (2669+1798+4742=9209)/(8522+4060 = 12582 )= 9209 = 0.7 12582 2012

Current assets ratios= Current assets/current liabilities =

(2430+1311+2148=5889)/(7277+2085=9362) =5889/9362 = 0.6

Current assets ratios of the company represents the ability of paying off its short term debts as we can see for both years the company is have very low ratio this is a very bad sign it tells you that the company will not have much liquid to pay back its liabilities.

Acid test / Quick ratio = current assets - closing stock Current liabilities Year 2013 = 9209 – 2669/12582= 0.5% Year 2012= 5889 – 2430/9362 = 0.3%

The company does not have enough short-term assets in both years to overcome its immediate liabilities, the firm is highly dependent on the sale of inventory as toovercome this problem.

PROFITABILITY RATIOS

Gross profit ratio = gross profit × 100 Revenue

Year 2013 = 4218 × 100 = 8% year2012 = 3230 × 100 = 7% 54327 47198

This represents the profit of the company in relation to the amount of sales that has made, there is an increase on 1% from 2012 to 2013, it also provides the company with the demand of its customers in %.

Net profit ratio = net profit × 100 Sales

Year 2013 = 2844 × 100 = 5.2% year 2012 = 2387 × 100 = 5% 54327 47198

This show the net income of the company and how the company control’s its cost. The low profit margin represents less safety if sales decline there will be increase in risk while reducing profit and turning intonet loss, there is a very less improvement in 2013 but still in order to stay at much safer side the net profit margin should be much better.

Return on capital employed = profit × 100 Capital

Year 2013= 2064/27165(39747-12582=27165) × 100= 7.6% Year 2012= 1717/20417(29779-9362=20417) × 100= 8.4%

Return on equity = profit after tax × 100 Equity Year 2013= 2064/12995 × 100= 16% Year 2012= 1717/11815×100= 8%

Mark up ratio = gross profit × 100 COS Year 2013= 4218/50109×100= 8.4 % Year 2012= 3230/43968×100= 7.3%

EFFICIENCY RATIOS

Debtor collection period = debtors × 365days Sales

Year 2013 = 1,798/54327 × 365days = 12days Year 2012 = 1,311/47198 × 365days = 10days

The debtor collection period represents the total time in which company will get back their receivables, in 2012 the time period was 10days which was a little efficient but there was not much difference in 2013. Ifthe funds have been received early then it can be used for other business activities such as investing in other projects or paying off business expenses etc. this will improve the business performance.

Creditor payment period = creditors × 365days COS

Year 2013 = 8522/50109× 365days = 62days Year 2012 = 7277/43968 × 365days = 60days

This let you the time taken to pay off your creditors, it also tell you bot the business efficiency and how the business is performing, the higher days company gets at one hand its good for the company but if it’s too long the firm might lose suppliers trust for early payments. Here in 2013 and 2012 do not have much differences but the result is positive as the company is not taking too long or too short time period to pay back its creditors.

Inventory turnover days = closing inventory × 365days

COS

Year 2013 = 2669 × 365days = 19days year 2012 = 2430 × 365days = 20days 50109 43968

Inventory turnover days show how effectively funds invested in inventory can turn into sales revenue. Low is not good for the business low turnover means stock can take too long to convert into sales and will be over stock, on the other hand high turnover can indicates ineffective buying or very high sales. Companies want High inventory turnover as to deduct theinventory to gain less holding cost and due to less holding cost the net income will have an increase.

Cash cycle days = debtors days - creditors days + inventory turnover days

Year 2013= 12-62+19 = (31) days year 2012 = 20-60+10= (30) days

This shows the time period of invested cash/resources returning, in other words calculating the liquidity risk with the growth. Here it is negative cash cycle days in both years by receiving the payments by debtorsbefore paying creditors.

INVESTMENT RATIOS

Dividend yield Dividend cover ratio

Earnings per share Price /Earnings ratio

(For this ratio calculation there is no required information provided)

Overall Conclusion for CHS

The company CHS is performing fine, but still have few problems with its liquidity, need to work on their cashflow, they are unable to manage their cash inflow and cash outflow, the company should pay its suppliers on time so that the business do not lose its market value in terms of paying off creditors. They should provide less debtor payable period as to get back their cash ontime or before time this will help the company to maintain its day to day expenses, invest in other activities and help to increase its net income.

LimitationsAccurate data is not available to evaluate all the ratios and get a right conclusion about problems and solutions to them, due to lack of data the company’s overall working position is unpredictable.The information was just for 2 years and there was not data about its competitors, its markets in which it operates, the economical and political position of the market due to lack of this all information, the overallinterpretation is incomplete.
