Answer 1

Apple - FY 19-20. in USD Millions (Source Apple Annual Reports )

Current Assets = 162,819

Current Liabilities = 105,718

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities = 1.54

Quick Ratio determines the Position of a companys ability to meet its short term obligation ,

Quick Ratio = (Current Assets - Inventory - Prepaid Expenses)/current liabilities = (162,819-4,106-0)/(105,718) = 1.50

Inventory Holding Period = 365/((Cost of Goods Sold / (Average Inventory))) = 365/(161782/4106) = 9.26 Days.

Debt / Equity Ratio = 1.194

Return on Assets = 16.33

Return on equity = 61.06

Free Cash Flow per Share = -.033

Apple Price - Equity ratio is 34.07

Current dividend yield for Apple as of September 08, 2020 is 0.73%
