Required:
1. Assume that you want to conduct a credit analysis. In doing so, you need to calculate the following series of amounts and financial ratios for years 2017 and
2018, so to decide whether to provide a shot-term loan or not to “Alpha – Beta”:
a) net working capital, b) current ratio, c) quick ratio, d) cash to current liabilities ratio, e) days’ sales in receivables (based on accounts receivables at the end of the
period), f) days’ sales in inventory (based on sales and inventory at the end of the period), g) operating cycle, h) debt to equity ratio and i) times interest earned. For
your computations, assume that a year has 365 days.
2. According to the above analysis of “Alpha – Beta”, what do you notice about the company? Make a recommendation as a credit analyst if it is a smart choice to
lend the company or not.
3. The cash balance (i.e., cash and cash equivalents) is the most objectively measured asset relative to other current assets (i.e., inventories, account
receivables) and thus, a credit analyst should trust it, when analyzing a firm’s short-term liquidity. Do you agree?
