Assignment 1 is worth 5% of your final mark. Complete and submit Assignment 1 after you
complete Lesson 1.
Save this assignment file and use it to record your responses to all three parts of this
assignment. Answer all three parts in one file. Follow the instructions on the Assignment 1
page of the course website for submitting your completed assignment file.
1. Financial calculator exercises. You will become familiar with some basic corporate
finance concepts and your calculator to develop calculation techniques that will help
you complete future assignments with fewer errors and better understanding. In
some cases, you will be finding answers without completely understanding all the
terms (e.g., PV, PMT, FV, IRR). You will study these terms later in the course. For
now, concentrate on the keystrokes and the sequences.
3. Financial ratios review. You will use the information given to calculate common
financial ratios. It is assumed you are already familiar with financial statements and
financial ratios through your prerequisite courses.
If you have any questions about this assignment and how to complete it, contact the
Student Support Centre.
3. Look to the right side of the yellow column divider and work through the corresponding
assignment question in Column E. Each numbered practice example corresponds to
the same numbered assignment question (e.g., practice example 1: “Chain
calculations – to the power of” with the calculation of (8 x 2)2 corresponds to
assignment question 1, where you calculate (1+0.25)8). If you can do the practice
example, you should be able to do the corresponding assignment question.
4. Pay careful attention when reading questions that include multiple sets of brackets
(e.g., assignment question 6). These can be confusing, so work through them
carefully.
5. To record your solutions, put your answer in Column F, on the same row as the
assignment question. See example for Question 1: (1+0.25)8).
Don’t be alarmed by the number of questions! You will likely be able to complete the work
more quickly than you think.
There are 33 questions in Part 1. Each question is worth 1 of the total marks for Assignment 1.
Start from the far left-hand column and read across each row. We’ll refer to Example #10 in
our descriptions below.
Column B: title of the task (e.g., Calculating basic loan interest). Below this title is the
description and data for the practice example. (In Example 10; N = 20 years, monthly
payments (P/Y=12); Interest rate comp. monthly (C/Y=12); ...)
Many of the practice examples and assignment questions take up several rows.
Column C: check your answer against the practice example. (In Example 10:
7.172951345.)
Column E: description and data for the tasks in the assignment question. (In Question
10: Find annual interest rate; N = 30 years, quarterly payments; Interest rate
compounded quarterly; …)
Column F: write down your answer in this column. (See example provided for Question 1.)

2. Obtain the following values from the Statement of Comprehensive Income and Statement
of Financial Position: (9 marks)
Calculate the following financial ratios for CanDo Inc. in the fiscal year of 2019 (round all
answers to six decimal places):
CanDo Inc
Statement of Comprehensive Income as of December 31, 2019
Sales $459,000
Cost of Goods Sold 362,400
Earnings Before Depreciation, Interest, and Taxes $ 96,600
Depreciation 42,000
Earnings Before Interest and Taxes $ 54,600
Interest Paid 38,000
Earnings Before Taxes $ 16,600
Taxes 5,146
Net Income $ 11,454
Addition to Retained Earnings $ 6,872
Dividends 4,582
To find Dividends:
Dividend ratio =40%
Net Income = $11,454
11454 x 0.4 = $4582
P2Q2:
a. Current ratio
=current assets / current liabilities
=452000/229000
=1.973799
b. Quick ratio
=(current assets – inventory) / current liabilities
= (452000 – 144000) / 229000
=1.344978
c. Cash ratio
= (cash + cash equivalents) / current liabilities
= (134000) / 229000
=0.585153
e. Interval measure
=current assets / average daily operating costs
= 452000/ (352400/365)
= 452000 / 965.48
=468.16 days
g. Debt-equity ratio
= total debt / total equity
= 0.623318 / 0.376682
=1.654759
h. Equity multiplier
=total assets / total equity
= 1 / 0.376682
= 2.654759
n. Receivables turnover (using avg. accounts receivable from 2018 & 2019)
= sales / accounts receivables
= 459000 / ((174000 +165000)/2))
= 459000 / 169500
= 2.707964 times
p. Payables turnover (using avg. accounts payable from 2018 & 2019)
=cost of goods sold/ accounts payables
= 362400 / ((117000 + 126000)/2)
= 362400 / 121500
= 2.982716 times
r. NWC turnover
= sales / NWC
= 459000 / 223000
= 2.058296 times
u. Profit margin
=net income / sales
= 11454 / 459000
= 0.2495425
= 2.495425%
