PROBLEM 2-4B
(a) Wise’s net income is $215,000 ($900,000 – $450,000 –$150,000 –
$10,000 – $75,000).
(b) Wise’s 2014 working capital of $470,000 ($700,000 – $230,000) is over
4 times as high as Omaz’s working capital of $105,000 ($180,000 – $75,000).
(c) Omaz appears to be less solvent. Omaz’s 2014 debt to assets ratio of
34% ($265,000 ÷ $780,000)a is slightly higher than Wise’s ratio of 29%
($430,000 ÷ $1,500,000)b. The lower the percentage of debt to assets, the
lower the risk that a company may be unable to pay its debts as they
come due.
PROBLEM 2-5B
(a) (i) Current ratio =
$302,600
$148,700
= 2.0:1.
(ii) Working capital = $302,600 – $148,700 = $153,900.
(b) During 2014, Divine’s current ratio decreased from 2.4:1 to 2.0:1 and its
working capital dropped from $178,000 to $153,900. Both measures
indicate a slight decline in liquidity during 2014.

Ratio

Lowe’s
(All Dollars are in Millions)
(a)
Working capital
$14,674 – $12,706 = $1,968
$8,686 – $7,751 = $935
(b)
Current ratio
1.2:1 ($14,674 ÷ $12,706)
1.1:1 ($8,686 ÷ $7,751)
(f) The comparison of the two companies shows the following:
Liquidity—Home Depot’s current ratio of 1.2:1 is slightly better than
Lowes’ 1.1:1 and Home Depot has significantly higher working capital
than Lowe’s.
PROBLEM 2-8B
(a) The primary objective of financial reporting is to provide information
useful for decision making. Since Yocum’s shares appear to be ac-
tively traded, investors must be capable of using the information made
available by Yocum to make decisions about the company.
