REFER IMAGE
The new owner thinks that inventories are excessive and can be lowered to the point where the current ratio is equal to the industry average, 25×, without affecting sales or net income. If inventories are sold and not replaced (thus reducing the current ratio to 25×); if the funds generated are used to reduce common equity (stock can be repurchased at book
value); and if no other changes occur, by how much will the ROE change? What will be the firm’s new quick ratio?
