Chapter 17: Financial Condition Analysis 671 a. Calculate Riverside\'s financial ratios for 2014. Assume that Riverside had $1,000,000 in lease payments and $1,400,000 in debt principal repayments in 2014. (Hint: Use the book discussion to identify the applicable ratios.) b. Interpret the ratios. Use both trend and comparative analyses. For the comparative analysis, assume that the industry average data presented in the book are valid for both 2014 and 2015 4 Consider the following financial statements for BestCare HMO, a not-for-profit managed care plarn BestCare HMO Statement of Operations and Change in Net Assets, Year Ended June 30, 2015 (in thousands) Revenue Premiums earned CoinsurancC Interest and other income Total revenues Expenses Salaries and benefits Medical supplies and drugs Insurance Provision for bad debts Depreciation Interest Total expenses Net income $26,682 1,689 242 S28,613 $15,154 7,507 3,963 19 367 385 S27,395 1,218 Net assets, beginning of year Net assets, end of year $ 900 S 2,118 BestCare HMO Balance Sheet, June 30, 2015 in thousands) Assets: Cash and cash equivalents Net premiums receivable Supplies Total current assets Net property and equipment Total asscts $2,737 821 387 $3,945 $5,924 $9,869 (continued)

Solution

As per rules I will answer the first 4 sub parts of the question

1: ROA= Net Income/ Assets

= 1218/9869 = 12.34%

The ROA is much above the industry average which implies that the company is using its assets with greater efficiency.

2:Current ratio= Current assets/ Current liabilities

=3945/3456 = 1.14

This ratio is higher than the industry average again implying that the company has a sound liquidity position. It has more than sufficient assets to meet current obligations.

3: Days cash in hand = Cash on hand ÷ ((Operating expenses - Noncash expenses) ÷ 365)

=2737/((27395-19-367)/365)

=36.99 days

This ratio is lower than industry average. It means that the company has lesser cash to pay for its operating cash expenses.

4:Average collection period

=365/(Credit sales/ AR)

= 365*821/ 26682

= 11.23 days

This is higher than industry average which implies that the company is taking longer to collect its receivables.
