Comparisons of income can be very difficult for two companies even though they sell the same products in equal volume. Why?

Gates Appliances has a return-on-assets (investment) ratio of 8 percent.

a. If the debt-to-total-assets ratio is 40 percent, what is the return on equity?

Identify whether each of the following items increases or decreases cash flow:

Increase in accounts receivable

Decrease in prepaid expenses

Increase in notes payable

Increase in inventory

Depreciation expense

Dividend payment

Increase in investment

Increase in accrued expenses

Decrease in account payable

The Rogers Corporation has a gross profit of \(880,000 and \)360,000 in depreciation expense. The Evans Corporation also has \(880,000 in gross profit,

with \)60,000 in depreciation expense. Selling and administrative expense is $120,000 for each company. Given that the tax rate is 40 percent, compute the cash flow for both companies.

Explain the difference in cash flow between the two firms.

Graham Potato Company has projected sales of \(6,000 in September, \)10,000 in October, \(16,000 in November, and \)12,000 in December. Of the company’s sales, 20 percent are paid for by cash and 80 percent are sold on credit.

Experience shows that 40 percent of accounts receivable are paid in the month after the sale, while the remaining 60 percent are paid two months after. Determine collections for November and December.

Also assume Graham’s cash payments for November and December are

\(13,000 and \)6,000, respectively. The beginning cash balance in November is

$5,000, which is the desired minimum balance.

Prepare a cash budget with borrowing needed or repayments for November

and December. (You will need to prepare a cash receipts schedule first.)
