问题如下:
Which of the following will be least negatively affected by an inventory write-down?
选项:
A.
Solvency ratios.
B.
Profitability ratios.
C.
Activity ratios.
解释:
C is correct.
An inventory write-down reduces both profit and the carrying amount of inventory on the balance sheet and thus has a negative effect on profitability, liquidity, and solvency ratios. However, activity ratios such as inventory turnover will be positively affected by a write-down because the asset base is reduced.
题目问存货减值会对ABC三项哪个“不会有不好的影响”。也就是对哪个的影响是好的。
A选项:存货减值对资产负债表的影响是存货价值降低,因此偿债能力指标会降低。这是不好的影响。
B选项:存货减值会增加利润表中的COGS,最终NI降低,因此盈利能力指标也降低。这是不好的影响。
C选项:存货减值后资产负债表中存货的账面价值降低,存货的turnover计算出来会变大,对这个指标来说是好事,inventory turnover ratio是activity ratio,所以选C。
A选项solvency ratio单从指标本身来说debt/assets, write down 造成assets减少,solvency ratio是positive的吧?
C选项activity ratio既包括turnover又包括DOH,write down 造成COGS减少,对 inventory turnover是positive,对DOH是negative吧?
