5. Working notes:
(i) Current assets and Current liabilities computation:
Current assets 2.5
Current liabilities 1
Or,
Current Assets Current = k (say)
Liabilities
2.5 1
Or, Current Assets = 2.5 k and Current Liabilities = k
Or, Working capital = (Current Assets - Current Liabilities)
Or, Rs.2,40,000 = k (2.5 - 1) = 1.5 k
Or, k = Rs.1,60,000
∴ Current Liabilities = Rs. 1,60,000
Current Assets = Rs.1,60,000 × 2.5 = Rs.4,00,000
6. On one hand when cost of ‘fixed cost fund’ is less than the return on investment
financial leverage will help to increase return on equity and EPS. The firm will also benefit from
the saving of tax on interest on debts etc. However, when cost of debt will be more than the
return it will affect return of equity and EPS unfavourably and as a result firm can be under
financial distress. This is why financial leverage is known as “double edged sword”.
Effect on EPS and ROE:
When, ROI > Interest – Favourable – Advantage
When, ROI < Interest – Unfavourable – Disadvantage
When, ROI = Interest – Neutral – Neither advantage nor disadvantage.

(a) T e answer should be
h
focused on using the current and quick ratios. While the
current ratio has steadily increased, it is to be noted that the liquidity has not
resulted from the most liquid assets as the CEO proposes. Instead, from the quick ratio, it is
noted that the increase in liquidity is caused by an increase in inventories. For a fresh
cheese company, it can be argued that inventories are relatively liquid when compared to
other industries. Also, given the information, the industry- benchmark can be used to
derive
that the company's quick ratio is very similar to the industry level and that the
current ratio is indeed slightly higher - again, this seems to come from inventories.
(b) Inventory turnover, day’s sales in receivables, and the total asset turnover ratio are to be
mentioned here. Inventory turnover has increased over time and is now above the industry
average. This is good - especially given the fresh cheese nature of the company’s industry.
In 2014, it means for example that every 365/62.65 = 5.9 days the company is able to sell
its inventories as opposed to the industry average of 6.9 days. Days' sales in receivables
have gone down over time, but are still better than the industry average. So, while they are
able to turn inventories around quickly, they seem to have more trouble collecting on these
sales, although they are doing better than the industry. Finally, total asset turnover is gone
down over time, but it is still higher than the industry average. It does tell us
something about a potential problem in the company's long term investments, but
again, they are still doing better than the industry.
(c) Solvency and leverage is captured by an analysis of the capital structure of the
company and the company's ability to pay interest. Capital structure: Both the equity
multiplier and the debt-to-equity ratio tell us that the company has become less
levered. To get a better idea about the proportion of debt in the firm, we can turn the D/E
ratio into the D/V ratio: 2014: 43%, 2013: 46%, 2012:47%, and the industry- average is
47%. So based on this, we would like to know why this is happening and whether this is
good or bad. From the numbers it is hard to give a qualitative judgment beyond
observing the drop in leverage. In terms of the company's ability to pay interest, 2014
looks pretty bad. However, remember that times interest earned uses EBIT as a proxy
for the ability to pay for interest, while we know that we should probably consider cash
flow instead of earnings. Based on a relatively large amount of depreciation in 2014 (see
info), it seems that the company is doing just fine.
Calculation of Stock
Current Assets - Stock
Quick Ratio = Current Liabilities 1
`80,000 - Stock
`50,000 1
` 50,000 = ` 80,000 – Stock
Stock = ` 80,000 – `
50,000
= ` 30,000
Debtors = 4/5th of Quick Assets
= (` 80,000 – 30,000) × 4/5
= ` 40,000
Debtors Turnover Ratio
40,000 12
Credit Sales 2 months
2 Credit Sales = 4,80,000
Credit Sales = 4,80,000/2
= 2,40,000
Gross Profit (15% of Sales)
` 2,40,000 × 15/100 = ` 36,000
Return on Networth (profit after tax)
Networth = ` 1,00,000 + `
30,000
= ` 1,30,000
Net Profit = ` 1,30,000 × 10/100 = ` 13,000
Debenture Interest = ` 20,000 × 5/100 = ` 1,000

Liquid Assets
2. Liquid Ratio =
Current Liabilities
Current Assets - Stock
1.25 = Current Liabilities
16,00,000 - Stock
1.25 = 8,00,000
(Note: The above solution has been worked out by ignoring the Net worth to Fixed assets ratio
given in the question in order to match the total of assets and liabilities in the Balance Sheet).
16. Comment on Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR)
Debt service coverage ratio indicates the capacity of a firm to service a particular level of debt
i.e. repayment of principal and interest. High credit rating firms target DSCR to be greater than
2 in its entire loan life. High DSCR facilitates the firm to borrow at the most competitive rates.
Lenders are interested in this ratio to judge the firm’s ability to pay off current interest and
installments.
The debt service coverage ratio can be calculated as under:
Earnings available for debt service
Debt Service Coverage Ratio Interest + Installments
EBITDA
Or, Debt Service Coverage Ratio =
Principal Repayment Due
Interest 1 - Tc
