(i) Current ratio 990,000/430,000 2.3:1

(iii) Inventory turnover

540,000/1,900,000 × 365 104 days

(iv) Average period of credit allowed to customers

450,000/2,800,000 × 365 59 days
700,000/3,700,000 × 365 69 days

(v) Average period of credit allowed by suppliers

410,000/2,080,000 × 365 72 days
690,000/2,580,000 × 365 98 days

(b) Comments

(i) The current ratio and quick ratio are both down by over 20%.
The drop in the quick ratio to below 1:1 could indicate liquidity problems.

(ii) The increase in sales, and hence in receivables, purchases and payables, is placing strain on the working capital,
evidenced by the increase in the receivables and payables payment periods.

(iii) The business is one requiring large holdings of inventory, but inventory control appears to have deteriorated slightly
between the two years

(iv) Cash sales have decreased considerably in 2003. Making more sales for cash could contribute to an improvement in
the current and quick ratios because this would reduce the overdraft.
Other comments considered on their merits.

5 (a) (i) Reserves are balances in a company’s balance sheet forming part of the equity interest and representing surpluses or
gains, whether realised or not.

(ii) Share premium account

The surplus arising when shares are issued at a price in excess of their par value.
Revaluation reserve
The unrealised gain when the amount at which non-current assets are carried is increased above cost.
(Other examples given credit on their merits)

(b) A bonus issue is the conversion of reserves into share capital, with shares being issued to existing members in proportion to
their shareholdings, without any consideration being given by the shareholders.
A rights issue is again an issue of shares to existing members in proportion to their shareholdings, but with payment being
made by the shareholders for the shares allotted to them.
The fundamental difference between them is that the rights issue raises funds for the company whereas the bonus issue does
not.
