The data in Exhibit 1 appear in the five-year summary of a major international company. A business combination with another major manufacturer took place in FY13.
选项:
A.Comparing FY14 with FY10, the company’s solvency improved, as indicated by an increase in its debt-to-assets ratio from 0.14 to 0.27.
B.Comparing FY14 with FY10, the company’s solvency deteriorated, as indicated by a decrease in interest coverage from 10.6 to 8.4.
C.Comparing FY14 with FY10, the company’s solvency improved, as indicated by the growth in its profits to GBP 645 million.
解释:
SolutionB is correct. Comparing FY14 with FY10, the company’s solvency deteriorated, as indicated by a decrease in interest coverage from 10.6 (= 844/80) in FY10 to 8.4 (= 1,579/188) in FY14. The debt-to-asset ratio increased from 0.14 (= 602/4,384) in FY10 to 0.27 (= 3,707/13,799) in FY14. This is also indicative of deteriorating solvency. In isolation, the amount of profits does not provide enough information to assess solvency.
