Summary Introduction

To calculate: The net fixed assets of the firm.

Introduction:

A fixed asset is the long-term tangible piece of property that a firm owns and utilizes for the production. The firm is not expected to consume or convert the fixed asset into cash within a year. The fixed assets are collectively termed as “plant”.

The process of analyzing and calculating the financial ratios in order to evaluate the performance of the firm and to find the actions that are necessary to improve the firm’s performance is known as ratio analysis.

Answer to Problem 28QP

The net fixed asset is $14,111.83.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Company H has a long-term debt ratio of 0.45, current liabilities of $2,435, profit margin of 9%, current ratio of 1.30, sales of $11,610, and return on equity of 12.8%

Note: The net fixed assets of the firm can be found with the help of the current assets and total assets (Total assets = Current assets + Net fixed assets). The current asset can be solved by utilizing the given current liabilities and the current ratio.

Formula to calculate the current asset:

Current ratio=Current assetsCurrent liabilitiesCurrent asset=Current ratio×Current liabilities

Note: The current assets can be calculated by using the formula of current ratio.

Compute the current asset:

Current ratio=Current assetsCurrent liabilitiesCurrent asset=Current ratio×Current liabilities=1.30×$2,435=$3,165.50

Hence, the current asset is $3,165.50.

Note: To find the total assets, it is essential to find the total equity and the total debt from the given information. Thus, the net income is found using the formulae of the profit margin.

Formula to calculate the net income:

Profit margin=Net incomeSales

Compute the net income:

Profit margin=Net incomeSalesNet income=Profit margin×Sales=0.09×$11,610=$1,044.90

Hence, the net income is $1,044.90.

Formula to calculate the Total equity:

Return on equity=Net incomeTotal equityTotal equity=Net incomeReturn on equity

Note: The total equity can be calculatedby using the calculated net income figure as an input in the return on equity.

Compute the Total equity:

Return on equity=Net incomeTotal equityTotal equity=Net incomeReturn on equity=$1,044.900.128=$8,163.28

Note: The total equity 12.8% is taken as 0.128.

Hence, the total equity is $8,163.28.

Formula to calculate the long-term debt:

Long-term debt ratio=Long-term debt(Long-term debt+Total equity)

Note: The long-term debt ratio is given as 0.45. So, with the help of the long-term debt ratio, an equation can be computed.

Compute an equation using the formula of long-term debt ratio:

Long-term debt ratio=Long-term debt(Long-term debt+Total equity)0.45=Long-term debt(Long-term debt+Total equity)

Note: The following equation can be computed by inverting both the sides.

Long-term debt ratio=Long-term debt(Long-term debt+Total equity)10.45=(Long-term debt+Total equity)Long-term debt10.45=Long-term debtLong-term debt+Total equityLong-term debt10.45=1+(Total equityLong-term debt)

Substitute the calculated total equity in the equation to find the long-term debt:

10.45=1+(Total equityLong-term debt)2.222=1+($8,163.28Long-term debt)2.2221=($8,163.28Long-term debt)1.222=($8,163.28Long-term debt)

Long-term debt=$8,163.281.222Long-term debt=$6,679.05

Hence, the long-term is $6,679.05.

Formula to calculate the total debt:

Total debt=Current liabilities+Long-term debt

Compute the total debt:

Total debt=Current liabilities+Long-term debt=$2,435+$6,679.05=$9,114.05

Hence, the total debt is $9,114.05.

Note: With the help of total debt, the total debt and equity can be found which are equal to the total assets.

Formula to calculate the total assets:

Total assets=Total debt+Total equity

Compute the total assets:

Total assets=Total debt+Total equity=$9,114.05+$8,163.28=$17,277.33

Hence, the total asset is $17,277.33.

Formula to calculate the net fixed assets:

Net fixed assets=Total assetsCurrent assets

Compute the net fixed assets:

Net fixed assets=Total assetsCurrent assets=$17,277.33$3,165.50=$14,111.83

Hence, the net fixed asset is $14,111.83.
