| Receivables collection period | Trade receivables/revenue *365 |
| Payables payment period | Trade payables/cost of sales *365 |
| Working capital cycle equation | Inventory days + receivable days - payable days |
| What is the working capital cycle | Measures how long a business needs to fund is purchases of goods. Smaller the better. Need to reduce time it takes to collect debts and reduce time inventory held and increase tine it takes to pay suppliers. Reducing cycle runs risk of loosing goodwill from suppliers. |
| Equations that show financial position | Gearing and interest cover |
| Gearing | Non current liabilities/ Equity + non current liabilities *100 |
| Interest cover | Profit from operations/finance costs |
| What are the gross profit margin and operating profit margin used for? | Used to make pricing decisions. Increase - due to increased selling price Decrease - increase costs or reduced sales |
| What does a high expenses ratio show? | High ratio - operating expenses are high. NOT GOOD (admin and distribution) Remember operating expenses do not include cost of sales |
| What does asset turnover show | Measures how much turnover is generated for ever £ of assets employed. Higher the better. |
| What does the return on capital employed show? | Indicated how efficiently the company uses its assets. How much profit is generated for ever £1 of assets. the higher the better. |
| What does the current ratio show and is it better higher or lower? | Indication of liquidity, how many times current liabilities are covered by current assets. Higher is better. |
| Quick ratio what does it show, better to be higher or lower? | better is higher, shows liquidity. Inventory can take time to sell . |
| Inventory holding period, is this better or worse if higher or lower? | The inventory period shows the average number of days inventory held before sold. We want this to be lower. |
| Receivables collection period, do we want this higher or lower? | LOWER |
| Current ratio goes from 2.3:1 to 5.1:1 is this good or bad? Why? | Current ratio is better - covering more liabilities with assets -if too high may indicate less efficient management of working capital |
| inventory turnover increases from 4 to 5.6 times, better or worse? Why? | Better - selling inventories more quickly. Could be effective stock management or reduced selling prices. Lower storage costs and less risk of obsoleteness |
| trade receivables collection period goes from 30 to 40 days, is this better or worse? and why? | This is worse because longer to collect debts. Bad for cashflow. Could have poor credit control procedures or offering longer credit terms to boost sales. Also may indicate presence of bad debts. |
| Trade payables went from 55 to 41, is this better or worse? and why? | This is better for goodwill or supplier but worse for cashflow. Paying payables sooner. May have negotiated settlement discounts or suppliers issued shorter payment terms. |
| Suggest 2 ways to improve the working capital cycle and 2 problems as a result | 1. Collect debts more quickly to reduce trade receivables Problem: possible loss of custoemrs 2. Increase the length of time to pay trade payables - negotiate payment terms. Problem: possible loss of supplier goodwill and settlement discounts |
| What does gearing Show? better to be higher or lower? | Measures the financial risk of a company. Higher gearing means less profit available. LOWER THE BETTER. |
| Interest cover | Measures how easily the company can makes its interest payments out of its profit. |
