There is not enough information to answer this question. e. None of the above is a correct answer. 15. b The company purchased on credit, so this will increase account payable or current liabilities, so the current ratio would decrease 16. The Crusty Pie Co., which specializes in apple turnovers, has a return on sales higher than the industry average, yet its ROA is the same as the industry average. How can you explain this? ROA (EBIT/Sales) (Sales/Total Assets) ROS ATO The only way that Crusty Pie can have an ROS higher than the industry average and an ROA equal to the industry average is for its ATO to be lower than the industry average. 17. The ABC Corporation has a profit margin on sales below the industry average, yet its ROA is above the industry average. What does this imply about its asset turnover? ABC s asset turnover must be above the industry average. 18. Jones Group has been generating stable after-tax return on equity (ROE) despite declining operating income. Explain how it might be able to maintain its stable after-tax ROE. Since ROE is a function of net profit and equity, it is possible to maintain a stable ROE, while net profits decline so long as equity also declines proportionally. 19. A company s current ratio is 2.0. If the company uses cash to retire notes payable due within one year, would this transaction increase or decrease the current ratio? What about the asset turnover ratio? This transaction would increase the current ratio. The transaction reduces both current assets and current liabilities by the same amount, but the reduction has a larger proportionate impact on current liabilities than on current assets. Therefore, the current ratio would increase. This transaction would increase the asset turnover ratio. Sales should remain unaffected, but assets are reduced.
