Statement Analysis
Question 1
A financial analyst is reviewing Apex Corporation's financial statements. The company
reports current assets of $2,500,000, inventory of $800,000, and current liabilities of
$1,000,000. What is the company's quick ratio?
A. 1.50
B. 1.70
C. 2.50
D. 3.30
,Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The quick ratio is calculated as (current assets minus inventory) divided by
current liabilities. ($2,500,000 - $800,000) / $1,000,000 = $1,700,000 / $1,000,000 =
1.70. Option A incorrectly uses only cash or misapplies the formula. Option C is the
current ratio. Option D adds inventory rather than subtracting it.
Question 2
A manufacturing firm has sales of $12,000,000, cost of goods sold of $7,200,000, and
average inventory of $1,200,000. What is the inventory turnover ratio?
A. 4.0 times
B. 5.0 times
C. 6.0 times
D. 10.0 times
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Inventory turnover equals cost of goods sold divided by average inventory.
$7,200,000 / $1,200,000 = 6.0 times. Option A results from dividing sales by inventory.
Option B is a miscalculation. Option D incorrectly uses gross profit rather than cost of
goods sold.
,Question 3
An investor is analyzing Beta Inc. using DuPont analysis. The firm has a net profit
margin of 8%, total asset turnover of 1.5, and an equity multiplier of 2.0. What is the
firm's return on equity?
A. 16%
B. 20%
C. 24%
D. 32%
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The DuPont identity states that ROE equals net profit margin multiplied by
total asset turnover multiplied by the equity multiplier. 8% x 1.5 x 2.0 = 24%. Option A
omits the equity multiplier. Option B omits the asset turnover component. Option D
incorrectly adds rather than multiplies the components.
Question 4
A company has net income of $500,000, sales of $5,000,000, and average total assets
of $2,500,000. What is the return on assets?
A. 15%
B. 18%
C. 20%
D. 25%
, Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Return on assets equals net income divided by average total assets.
$500,000 / $2,500,000 = 20%. Option A uses sales in the denominator. Option B
incorrectly applies the equity multiplier. Option D confuses ROA with return on equity.
Question 5
A retail firm has accounts receivable of $600,000 and annual credit sales of $4,000,000.
What is the days sales outstanding?
A. 45 days
B. 50 days
C. 54.75 days
D. 60 days
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Days sales outstanding is calculated as (accounts receivable divided by
credit sales) multiplied by 365. ($600,000 / $4,000,000) x 365 = 54.75 days. Option A
uses 360 days in the year. Option B is a rounded approximation using incorrect inputs.
Option D uses total sales rather than credit sales.
