4. What will be the impact on Stellar in the current year if Martinez’s belief in Conclusion 4 is correct? Compared with the previous year, Stellar’s:
选项:
A.current ratio will increase.
B.days sales outstanding (DSO) will decrease.
C.accounts receivable turnover will decrease.
解释:
B is correct.
Because accounts receivable will be lower than reported in the past, Stellar’s DSO [Accounts receivable/(Revenues/365)] will decrease. Stellar’s accounts receivable turnover (365/days’ sales outstanding) will increase with the lower DSO, giving the false impression of a faster turnover. The company’s current ratio will decrease (current assets will decrease with no change in current liabilities).
解析:A/R减少→current asset减少→current ratio变小,A选项错误。
receivable turnover=Revenue/A/R,分母变小→turnover变大,C选项错误。
DSO=365/receivable turnover,分母变大→DSO变小,B选项正确。
虽然做对了,但是还是有疑问,短期AR减少了,那Revenue不也减少了吗?
