Calculate the following Ratios – (1) Current ratio (2) Quick ratio (3) Debt- equity ratio (4) Interest coverage (5) Fixed charge coverage (6) Stock turnover (7) Debtors turnover (8) Average collection period (9) Gross profit margin (10) Net profit margin (11) Operating ratio (12) Return on capital employed (ROCE) (13) Earnings per share (14) Return on shareholders’ equity (15) P/E ratio and (16) Earning yield.
To calculate the ratios for Alpha Ltd., we need to use the formulas based on the provided data from the Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet. I'll walk you through the calculations for each ratio. ### 1. Current Ratio The current ratio measures the company's ability to pay short-term liabilities with short-term assets. The formula is: \[ \text{Current Ratio} = \frac{\text{Current Assets}}{\text{Current Liabilities}} \] - Current Assets = Stock + Debtors + Pre-paid expenses + Marketable securities + Cash = 1.50 + 1.00 + 0.25 + 0.75 + 0.25 = 3.75 - Current Liabilities = Creditors + Bills Payable + Accrued expenses + Provision for tax = 0.60 + 0.20 + 0.20 + 0.65 = 1.65 \[ \text{Current Ratio} = \frac{3.75}{1.65} = 2.27 \] ### 2. Quick Ratio The quick ratio is a stricter test of liquidity, excluding inventory from current assets. The formula is: \[ \text{Quick Ratio} = \frac{\text{Current Assets} - \text{Stock}}{\text{Current Liabilities}} \] - Current Assets (excluding stock) = 3.75 - 1.50 = 2.25 \[ \text{Quick Ratio} = \frac{2.25}{1.65} = 1.36 \] ### 3. Debt-Equity Ratio This ratio measures ______ _________ ________ ___ __________ ____ ____ ______ ___.
