问题如下:
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.
Which of the following choices best describes reasonable conclusions an analyst might make about the company’s liquidity?
选项:
A. Comparing FY14 with FY10, the company’s liquidity 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 liquidity deteriorated, as indicated by a decrease in interest coverage from 10.6 to 8.4.
C. Comparing FY14 with FY10, the company’s liquidity improved, as indicated by an increase in its current ratio from 0.71 to 0.75.
解释:
C is correct.
Comparing FY14 with FY10, the company’s liquidity improved, as indicated by an increase in its current ratio from 0.71 [= (316 + 558)/1,223] in FY10 to 0.75 [= (682 + 1,634)/3,108] in FY14. Note, however, comparing only current investments with the level of current liabilities shows a decline in liquidity from 0.26 (= 316/1,223) in FY10 to 0.22 (= 682/3,108) in FY14. Debt-to-assets ratio and interest coverage are measures of solvency not liquidity.
解析:从FY10到FY14,current ratio从0.71变为0.75,显示公司的流动性增强,A和B都是长期偿债能力指标,所以都不对。
老师,请问这里current asset为什么没有加上下边的other current assets,谢谢!
