    $30.00

    PURPOSE

    Financial Statement Analysis – To calculate and analyse financial ratios using actual reported data.

    REQUIRED

    Given the financial statements and the additional information, analyse and discuss the financial performance and position of Fantastic Holdings Limited. You should refer to the notes to the financial statements and Chairman’s and Managing Director’s Report for further details and clarifications of changes in the financial statements.

    Your analysis should be supported by profitability, liquidity, gearing and other appropriate ratios.

    Calculate and analyse financial ratios (percentage and ratio analysis)

    Use the 2014 and 2013 annual reports to obtain the financial statement figures needed to calculate the ratios (where there is consolidated accounts, use the consolidated amounts). In addition, students are strongly advised to: perform horizontal and vertical analyses of the Balance Sheets and Income} Statements for the company read all parts of the Annual Reports}

    Instructions

    Your report should calculate* and analyse the following ratios, in clearly identified separate sections: Profitability Rate of return on net sales Rate of return on total assets Asset turnover Rate of return on ordinary shareholders’ equity Earnings per share (given in the Annual Report) Liquidity Working capital Current ratio and Acid-test ratio Inventory turnover and Days in inventory Gross profit percentage Accounts receivable turnover Days’ sales in receivables Gearing Debt ratio Debt to equity ratio Times interest earned ratio (* Tabulate and show the formula and detailed calculations in an Appendix.)

    Your analysis should include:

    Year-to-year (2014 and 2013) comparisons (horizontal analysis). Use the Director’s} Report and the Notes to the Accounts to further justify your answer.

    The components of each ratio should be investigated to determine the significant or} determining factors in any change to the ratio.

    These significant factors should then be investigated to determine (to the extent} possible) the cause and sustainability of their change (refer to example below).

    Example of a current ratio analysis: Company X current ratio increased from 1.2 to 4.3. The company increased its ability to pay its debts in the short-term. The main reasons for the increase were a 22% increase in cash and a 14% decrease in accounts payable. The increase in cash and the decrease in accounts payable were both a result of reductions in purchases of inventory. This is unlikely to continue as the company was depleting a previous overstock.

    Each ratio analysis will be marked on the correctness of the comparisons and the identification of the determining factors. The depth and correctness of analysis of the factors will be the primary criteria for grade differentials in this assignment. The determining factors need not be confined to the annual reports but they must be relevant to your analysis

    The following financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to the Financial Statements in Pages 35 to 62 of the 2014 Annual Report of Fantastic Holdings Limited.

  • The Case Study of Joe

    $2.00

    What ethical theory supports how you think Joe should react to this situation?

    Part 1

    View this problem scenario A to learn more about Bill and Joe’s relationship. This scenario provides key information in helping formulate answers for assignments in Phases 1 and 2.

    You are having a lunch meeting with Bill Bateman, the chief executive officer (CEO) of the Peninsula Hotel chain, and Joe Smith, the sales rep for UWEAR. During the meeting, Bill raises the topic of the upcoming contract renewal.

    “I’m glad you brought that up, Bill,” Joe says. “We’re really looking forward to working with you again this year. I was happy that we were able to reach an agreement last year, and it’s been a pleasure working with you and your team.”

    Joe, like most of the UWEAR and PALEDENIM employees, is feeling the pressure to perform, fearing cutbacks and layoffs because of the merger. Sales have been down, and profit margins are very slim. Last year, Joe was reprimanded when he signed the contract with Peninsula Hotels because the price that he offered was so low. However, he had no choice because his competitor, Threads4U, was also a very shrewd bidder, and Joe would have lost the contract otherwise.

    “Well, it has been good working with you too, Joe. I’ve really enjoyed our friendship, and the contract was very beneficial for our company,” Bill continues, “The reason I wanted to talk about the contract today is because I just got a call this week from Samantha over at Threads4U. She’s offering to beat your price by 10% to win back our business. What are you going to do to counter that offer?”

    Answer the following:

    • What should Joe do in this situation?
    • What ethical theory supports how you think Joe should react to this situation?
    • Why would you use this theory?
    • What might others with a different view than yours say in this situation?
    • How would you refute those opposing perspectives?
    • Is there a compromise or creative solution to this problem? If so, what is it? Why is it feasible?
