Required: Compute the following financial data and ratios:
1. Working capital.
2. Current Ratio (round to 2 decimal places)
3. Acid-Test Ratio (round to 2 decimal places)
4. Debt-to-equity Ratio (round to 2 decimal places)
5. Times interest earned Ratio (2 decimal places)
6. Average collection period (days)
7. Average sale period (days)
8. Operating cycle (Days; round intermediate calculations and final answer to 1 decimal place)

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

1.

Working capital = Current Asset - Current Liabilities

= $569,000 - $280,000

= $289,000

2.

Current ratio  = Current Asset ÷ Current Liability

= $569,000 ÷ $280,000

= 2.03

3.

Acid-test (quick) ratio  = {(Current Asset - Inventory - prepaid expense) ÷ Current Liabilities }

= {{$569,000- $320,000 - $8,000) ÷ ($280,000)}

= 0.86 times

4.

Debt-Equity ratio   = Total Liability ÷ Shareholders' Equity

= $670,000 ÷ $759,000

= 0.88 times

5.

Times interest earned   = EBIT ÷ Interest Charges

= ($1,224,000 + $35,100) ÷ ($35,100)

= 35.87 times

6.

Average collection period

= 365 ÷ ($3,010,00 ÷ $215,000)

= 26 days

The $215,000 comes from

= ($210,000 + $220,000) ÷ 2

= $215,000

7. The average sales period is

= 365 ÷ ($1,110,000 ÷ $300,000)

= 99 days

The $300,000 comes from

= ($280,000 + $320,000) ÷ 2

= $300,000

8. The operating cycle is

= 99 days - 26 days

= 73 days

REITs pay dividends in order to retain their favorable tax status. As the next chapter on stock explains, corporate dividends are made from earnings. REIT dividends often are not made from earnings but the distributions are made from funds from operations (FFO). REIT accounting earnings are adjusted for noncash expenses such as deprecia-tion to determine funds from operations. In addition, a REIT may sell a property and distribute the proceeds. For these reasons, financial analysts often use FFO instead of earnings to analyze a REIT. Distributions are often more highly correlated with per-share funds from operation than they are with earnings per share (EPS). Consider the following FFO and EPS for Washington Real Estate Trust:
Year 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
Distributions $1.16 1.23 1.31 1.39 1.47 1.55 1.60 1.64 1.68 1.72 1.73 1.74 1.74 1.47 1.20 1.20
FFO
$1.57 1.79 1.96 1.97 2.04 2.05 2.07 2.12 2.31 2.12 2.06 1.96 1.95 1.84 1.69 1.51
EPS
$1.24 1.26 1.38 1.32 1.13 1.09 1.84 0.88 1.34 0.67 0.71 0.60 1.58 0.35 0.55 1.67
To verify that the dividend distribution is more strongly correlated with FFO than with EPS, compute the correlation coefficients relating the distributions to FFO and to EPS.

Most tax expenditures are specifically for high-income people. Most tax breaks reduce taxable income, but reducing taxable income below zero does not reduce the tax bill.
