Ratio #1 Ratio #2 What are debt service (coverage) ratios What is the formula to use to determine debt service coverage The two purple tabs show the breakdown of each division in this company. What types of items might you decide to "trend" based on the information shown. (ie, if sales in one division declined from one year to the next, what kinds of trends might you start paying attention to. -- hint page 373 and 374) Describe at least two things that could happen within this company that would ma the controller to dig into the numbers and provide a write up to management. (for instance, the controller might notice that inventory has shrunk by over 50% w might he look for in the numbers and what ratios might he use to check things bef The trend of sales volume could be beneficial in revealing what areas are excelling and which areas need assistance. Trend of pricing would also be important to understand if prices are too high or too low, allowing for competition to easily enter the market. Evaluating prices against inflation and competitors keeps the price as low as possible for customers while generating the most profit. Based on the information shown, the sales for clothing and accessories decreased while the cost of revenues increased. This is something that should be investigated to better understand why. Is this due to locations or market changes? Should advertising be increased in the areas displaying low sales?
A controller may need to look into the company statements if there is a decrease in profit tha does not follow normal trends. The cause would need to be identified using the financial statements. The income statement for the current quarter compared to previous quarters can provide some insight on the significance of the decline. This would also help to identify exactly where the decline occurred. If there is a noteable difference in the areas of operating expenses or cost of goods sold, this concern would need to be addressed. Different profit margin ratios would be beneficial to understanding the comparison of current performance to the past. External factors could also impact the profitability of a company, such as market changes or inflation. This would be acknowledged in the write up if applicable. The write up would also include suggestions to remedy the concern, as well as what caused it. Another concern that may need to be investigated by a controller would be an increase in the amount of time taken to pay suppliers and vendors. This is a concern because untimely payment could lead to a loss of business and a potential increase in cost. It harms the reputation of the company and reflects negatively on the trustworthiness. In this situation, th controller would begin with the balance sheet to identify the accounts payable, which could be significantly higher than usual. The accounts payable turnover ratio would reveal the average time a suppier goes unpaid. A review of the contracts with suppliers/vendors to confirm the company is meeting the terms of the agreement would be crucial. If the analysis reveals a breach in the contract, it would be imperative to inform management to resolve this issue. It would be important to reach out to the departments handling vendor/supplier payments to strategize and create a plan to decrease the time taken to issue payments. The write up to management would include the results of the investigation into the cause, the potential risks involved, and suggestions for resolving the concern. It would explain the importance of maintaining the current relationships with the suppliers and vendors and what could occur if they decide to cease working with us.
