问题如下:

Robert Groff, an equity analyst, is preparing a report on Crux Corp. As part of his report, Groff makes a comparative financial analysis between Crux and its two main competitors, Rolby Corp. and Mikko Inc. Crux and Mikko report under US GAAP and Rolby reports under IFRS.

Groff gathers information on Crux, Rolby, and Mikko. The relevant financial information he compiles is in Exhibit 1. Some information on the industry is in Exhibit 2.

Exhibit 1. Selected Financial Information (US$ Millions)

*This does not match the change in the inventory valuation allowance because the valuation allowance is reduced to reflect the valuation allowance attached to items sold and increased for additional necessary write-downs.

Exhibit 2. Industry Information

To compare the financial performance of the three companies, Groff decides to onvert LIFO figures into FIFO figures, and adjust figures to assume no valuation allowance is recognized by any company.

After reading Groff’s draft report, his supervisor, Rachel Borghi, asks him the following questions:

Question1, Which company’s gross profit margin would best reflect current costs of the industry?

Question 2, Would Rolby’s valuation method show a higher gross profit margin than Crux’s under an inflationary, a deflationary, or a stable price scenario?

Question3, Which group of ratios usually appears more favorable with an inventory write-down?


Rolby’s net profit margin for the year ended 31 December 2009, after the adjustments suggested by Groff, is closest to:

选项:

A.

6.01%.

B.

6.20%.

C.

6.28%.

解释:

B is correct.

Rolby’s adjusted net profit margin must be computed using net income (NI) under FIFO and excluding charges for increases in valuation allowances.

NI (adjusted) = NI (FIFO method) + Charges, included in cost of goods sold for inventory write-downs, after tax = $327 million + 15 million × (1 – 30%) = $337.5 million Therefore, adjusted net profit margin equals:

Net profit margin = NI/Revenues = $337.5/$5,442 = 6.20%

嗨,努力学习的PZer你好:


 为什么没有valuation allowance我们要去改charge啊



charges for increases in valuation allowances.中charge for 的意思就是计提。


题目说Goff 决定用把原来LIFO的模式变成FIFO的模式,并且取消valuation allowance的计提。


Rolby的net income本身就是FIFO下的,所以只需要调整write down就行了。2009年的inventory write down 是15,但是write down是税前的所以还要调整税收的影响就15(1-t)。
