It is one of the important financial indicators of the liquidity position of a business entity. A positive working capital position means that a business is able to manage its affairs to such a state that current assets are sufficiently ready to meet the requirement of settling the debts which are to be due within one year. In other words, a business is to be solvent in the short term if there is a positive working capital. This indicates that the liquidity position of a business is financially sound.However, a positive working capital does not necessarily indicate that the business is solvent in the long term or in a forced liquidation.Question 822．The following are the summarized financial statements of Mr. Wong’s business for the years ended 31 December 2002 and 2003 respectively.Balance Sheets as at 31 December2002 2003＄＄Fixed Assets (net book value) 22,500 18,000Current Assets:Stock 10,500 27,000Debtors 18,000 54,000Bank 1,500 —Current liabilities:Creditors (9,000) (22,500)Bank overdraft —(15,000) 43,500 61,500Capital at 1 January 18,000 43,500Net Profit for the year 45,000 52,500Drawings (19,500) (34,500) 43,500 61,500Profit and Loss AccountSales 180,000 300,000Cost of sales 120,000 225,000Gross profit 60,000 75,000Operating expenses 15,000 22,500Net profit 45,000 52,500Additional information is given as follows:1. All sales were on credit basis.2. There were no purchase or disposals of fixed assets during the year.3. The stock value and debtor balance as at 31 December 2001 were ＄15,000 and ＄30,000 respectively.Required:(a)Calculate the following financial ratios for years both 2002 and 2003:(i)Gross profit margin(ii)Net profit margin(iii)Return on capital employed(iv)Current ratio(v)Acid test ratio(vi)Stock turnover period (days)(vii)Debtors collection period (days)(viii)Gearing ratio(b)Why is the gearing ratio important to a banker in making a lending decision?(c)Based on the financial ratios in (a), comment on the profitability, liquidity and management efficiency of Mr. Wong’s business.正确答案：(a) (i) Gross profit margin = Gross profit / Sales×100%year 2002: = 60,000/180,000×100% = 33.3%year 2003: = 75,000/300,000×100% = 25%(ii) Net profit margin = Net profit/Sales×100%year 2002: = 45,000/180,000×100% = 25%year 2003: = 52,500/300,000×100% = 17.5%(iii) Return on capital employed = Net profit / Capital employed×100%year 2002: = 45,000/43,500×100% = 103.4%year 2003: = 52,500/61,500×100% = 85.4%(iv) Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilitiesyear 2002: = 30,000/9,000 = 3.33 to 1year 2003: = 81,000/37,500 = 2.16 to 1(v) Acid test ratio = (Current assets- Stocks) / Current liabilitiesyear 2002: = 19,500/9,000 = 2.17 to 1year 2003: = 54,000/37,500 = 1.44 to 1(vi) Stock turnover period (days) = 365×Average Stock / Cost of salesyear 2002: = 365×0.5×(15,000+10,500)/120,000 = 39 daysyear 2003: = 365×0.5×(10,500+27,000)/225,000 = 30 days(vii) Debtors collection period (days) = 365×Average debtors/Salesyear 2002: = 365×0.5×(30,000+18,000)/180,000 = 49 daysyear 2003: = 365×0.5×(18,000+54,000)/300,000 = 44 days(viii) Gearing ratio = Long-term loan/(Long-term loan + Shareholders’ fund)×100%year 2002: = 0year 2003: = 0(b) Gearing ratio is an expression of the way companies are financed and the proportion of capital provided by risk taking shareholders and by lenders to the company.This ratio assists the bankers in their loan lending decisions. Basically, gearing ratio is an indication of the risk to be undertaken by the ordinary shareholders because of the interest obligation of the long-term financial position, particularly thecash flows. A company’s borrowing power will be correspondingly lower when there is an increase in the geared ratio.(c) The following points should be noted:Profitability —Decrease in gross profit margin, net profit margin and return on capital employed.—Although turnover is improved, profit margins am decreased. This may be due to inefficient control on operating expenses and/or less effective marketing strategy.Liquidity—Both current ratio and acid test ratio indicate that the liquidity position is worsening.—It may be due to piling up of inventory and substantial outstanding debtors amounts.Management Efficiency—The credit control policy has been tightened up as the debtors’ collection period has been reduced by 5 days.—The stock control has also been improved as the stock turnover becomes faster.Question 923．The following ledger balances are extracted from the books of White Trading Company as at 31 December 2003:＄Bad debts 750Bank overdraft 1,650Capital 100,000Carriage inwards 3,500Carriage outwards 1,400Creditors 18,500Debenture interest 900Debtors 12,500Discounts allowed 1,300Discounts received 1,500Drawings 24,900Equipment (at cost) 150,000Insurance 1,000Lighting 5,000Motor Van 40,000Provision for bad debts 1,100Provision for depreciation—Equipment 90,000—Motor Van 18,000Purchases 1,000,000Rent & rates 110,000Salaries and wages 210,000Sales 1,400,000Stock 1 January 2003 90,000Returns inwards 13,000Returns outwards 13,5009% 1998-2008 10-year Debenture 20,000Additional information relevant to the year ended 31 December 2003 is as follows:1.

Known as internal balance, this objective has two dimensions; (D a fully employed economy, and ©no inflation—or, more realistically, a reasonable amount of inflation. Nations traditionally have considered internal balance to be of primary importance and have formulated economic policies to attain this goal.Question 4Answer:The money markets are wholesale markets where most securities trade in large denominations. This characteristic effectively blocks most individuals from investing directly in these securities. However, the markets usually find a way to correct for such deficiencies, especially when potential customers are available. Money market mutual funds represent one sucha of inception in the early 1970s because they provide a means for small investors to take advantage of the returns offered on money market securities. These securities would be out of reach to most small investors because of their large minimum denominations.Question5：Answer:(2) Leasing is practical. By leasing, you transfer the uncertainties and risks of equipment ownership to the lessor, which allows you to concentrate on using that equipment as a productive part of your business.(3) Leasing is cost effective. Equipment is costly and some of the costs are unexpected. When you lease, your risk of getting caught with obsolete equipment is lower because you can upgrade or add equipment to best meet your needs.金融英语 FECT 试题(4) Leasing has tax advantages. Rather than dealing with depreciation schedules and Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) problems, you, the lessee, simply make the lease payment and deduct it as a business expense.(5) Leasing helps conserve your operating capital. Leasing keeps your lines of credit open. You don’t tie up your cash in equity. Also, you avoid costly down payments. With other advantages such as offbalance sheet financing, leasing helps you better manage your balance sheet.Question6：Answer:China’s monetary policy, in general sense, is the same as the concept of monetary policy in western economics, including such factors as operating instruments, operating targets, intermediate targets and final targets. The impact of monetary policy on China’s macro-economy is produced through the transmission of those factors one by one.(1) The final targets of Chi na’s monetary policy(2) The operating and intermediate targets of China’s monetary policy(3) The monetary policy instruments金融英语 FECT 试题instruments that conform to the socialist market economy has been lawfully set up. With the establishment of socialist market economy the gradual shift from direct to indirect monetary policy instruments has greatly improved transmission mechanism of monetary policy and effectiveness of macroeconomic management in China. But in a transition period the potency of monetary policy is still subject to various factors as follows：●Government’s intervention. In economic activities, intervention by governments at each level is still strong. It is not rarely seen that local governments often force banks to make loans for the sake of development of local economy, which interferes the independence of the central bank’s monetary policy and blurs monetary policy targets, so monetary policy instruments are partly ineffective.●Less developed markets. In the transition period market mechanism is not perfect while the planned mechanism has lost much of its share. So the vacuum in management of national economy appears. As a result distribution of resources is in disorder and the contradiction in economic structure is obvious. The central government has to increase investment in order to better economic structure, so it’s hard to contract investment size, wipe out investment expansion of fixed assets and control the money supply. So implementation of monetary policy of the central bank is interfered with.●Imperfect self-constraint mechanism of financial institutions. As China’s financial institutions are still under reform, their behavior is not standardized because of imperfect self-constraint mechanism. So the impact of the central bank’s monetary policy on reserves of financial institutions is not sure and the operating targets cannot respond sensitively.●Lack of self-constraint mechanism of enterprises. In order to maintain certain increasing rate of funds they banks and the central bank and is harmful to the central bank’s control on the money supply.。
