因此,本题的正确选项为A。
单选题 Using the following information, what is the firm's cash flow form operations?
Net income
Decrease in accounts receivable
Depreciation
Increase in inventory
Increase in accounts payable
Decrease in wages payable
Increase in deferred tax liabilities

$46000
$6000
  • A. $872000
  • B. $503000
  • C. $492000
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 营业现金流=净收益-土地销售利润+折旧+应收账款的减少金额-存货的增长金额+应付账款的增长金额-应付工资的减少金额+递延税金负债的增长金额=330000-6000+45000+86000-50000+75000-23000+46000=503000(美元)
单选题 Morris Inc. had the following transactions during 2009:
●Purchased new fixed assets for $105000.
●Converted $83000 worth of preferred shares to common shares.
●Received cash dividends of $24000. Paid cash dividends of $32000.
●Repaid mortgage principal of $18000.
Assuming Morris, Inc. follows U.S. GAAP, which of the following amounts represents Morris's cash flow from investing and cash flow from financing in 2009, respectively?
cash flow from investing cash flow from financing
① ($105000) ($50000)
② ($83000) ($18000)
③ ($105000) ($18000)
  • A. ①
  • B. ②
  • C. ③
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 从对现金流进行分析的角度来讲,用105000美元购进新的固定资产属于投资现金流的流出,将价值83000美元的优先股转变为普通股属于非现金交易,获得24000美元的现金股息属于营业现金流的流入,支付32000美元的现金股息属于融资现金流的流出,偿付18000美元的分期付款本金属于融资现金流的流出。因此,投资现金流=-105000美元,融资现金流=-(32000+18000)=-50000(美元)。

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 对于没有债务的公司而言,其权益自由现金流等于营业现金流(CFO)减去资本支出后的余额。 CFO=净收益+折旧+机器销售亏损+应收账款的减少金额-存货的增加金额+应付账款的增加金额=45.8+18.2+1.6+4.2-3.4+2.5=68.9(百万美元) 权益自由现金流=营业现金流(CFO)-资本支出=68.9-7.3=61.6(百万美元) 因此,本题的正确选项为C。
单选题 Which of the following is least likely a limitation of financial ratios?
  • A. Data on comparable firms are difficult to acquire.
  • B. Determining the target or comparison value for a ratio requires judgment.
  • C. Different accounting treatments require the analyst to adjust the data before comparing ratios.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 财务比率的局限性体现在以下几个方面: (1)对财务比率进行的孤立分析往往无法得出有价值的分析结论,只有与其他厂商的财务比率和厂商的历史业绩进行比较才能真正发挥其作用。 (2)由于各厂商所使用的不同会计方法,从而使不同厂商财务比率的比较较为困难,特别是不同国家厂商的横向比较。 (3)对于一些业务领域涉及多个行业的厂商来说,很难找到合适的行业参照财务比率。 (4)所有财务比率都必须与另一财务比率进行比较才能得出相关结论。 (5)确定财务比率的分析目标和对比值往往存在困难。 由上述内容可知,选项B最不可能属于财务比率的局限。
单选题 An analyst who is interested in a company's long-term solvency would most likely examined the:

  • A. numerator and denominator would decrease proportionally, leaving the current ratio unchanged.
  • B. numerator would decrease by a greater percentage than the denominator, resulting in a lower current ratio.
  • C. denominator would decrease by a greater percentage than the numerator, resulting in a higher current ratio.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 流动比率的计算公式为: [*] 由上式可知,如果现金和应付账款下降相同的金额,且流动比率大于1,则公式分母将下降相对较大的比例,从而使流动比率上升。因此,本题的正确选项为C。
单选题 An analyst prepares common-size balance sheets for two countries operating in the same industry. The analyst notes that both companies had the same proportion of current liabilities, long-term liabilities, and shareholders' equity and the following ratios:
Company A Company B
current ratio 2.0 2.0
cash ratio 0.3 0.3
quick ratio 0.5 0.8
The most reasonable conclusion is that, compared with Company B, Company A had a:
  • A. higher percentage of assets associated with inventory.
  • B. higher percentage of assets associated with accounts receivable.
  • C. lower percentage of assets associated with marketable securities.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 速动比率是一种较为严格的流动性比率,这是因为,该比率不包含存货和其他具有较高流动性的资产,其计算公式为: [*] 现金比率是最保守的流动性比率,其计算公式为: [*] 流动比率包含存货而速动比率则不包含存货。速动比率包含应收账款,而现金比率则不包含应收账款。上述三类财务比率的分母均为流动负债,且两家公司的流动负债所占比例均相等。因此,上述财务比率所存在的差异是由存货和应收账款的差异所造成的。对于A公司而言,由于其流动比率和速动比率之间的差额较大,因而该公司的存货占资产的比例较高。对于B公司而言,由于其速动比率和现金比率之间的差额较大,因而该公司的应收账款占资产的比例较高。综上所述,本题的正确选项应为A。
单选题 A company's quick ratio is 1.2. If inventory were purchased for cash, the:
  • A. numerator and denominator would decrease proportionally, leaving the current ratio unchanged.
  • B. numerator would decrease by a greater percentage than the denominator, resulting in a lower current ratio.
  • C. denominator would decrease by a greater percentage than the numerator, resulting in a higher current ratio.
【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】[解析] 由式[*]可知,如果现金减少,则速动比率也将相应下降,而公式分母则保持不变。因此,本题的正确选项为B。
单选题 If a company has a current ratio of 2, the effect of repaying $150000 in short-term borrowing will most likely decrease:
  • A. the current ratio, but not the cash flow from operations.
  • B. the cash flow from operations, hut not the current ratio.
  • C. neither the current ratio nor the cash flow from operations.
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 短期债务的偿还将使融资现金流减少,但不会对营业现金流产生影响。由式[*]可知,在流动比率大于1的情况下,如果流动资产和流动负债发生相同金额的变化,则流动比率将相应上升而非下降。在本题中,假设流动资产为550000美元,流动负债为275000美元,则流动比率=流动资产/流动负债=550000/275000=2。在银行清偿短期贷款后,该比率相应变为(550000-150000)/(275000-150000)=3.2。综上所述,本题的正确选项应为C。
单选题 A&G Inc.'s receivable turnover is six times, the inventory turnover is two times, and the payables turnover is fifteen times. A&G's cash conversion cycle is closest to:
  • A. 219 days.
  • B. 277 days.
  • C. 426 days.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 应收账款天数=365/应收账款周转率=365/6=60.8(天) 存货处理天数=365/存货周转率=365/2=182.5(天) 应付账款天数=365/应付账款周转率=365/15=24.3(天) 现金转换周期=应收账款天数+存货处理天数-应付账款天数=60.8+182.5-24.3=219天 因此,本题的正确选项为A。
单选题 A&G Inc.'s income statement shows sales of $3000, cost of goods sold of 1200, pre-interest operating expense of $400, and interest expense of $50. A&G's interest coverage ratio is closest to:
  • A. 28 times.
  • B. 33 times.

  • A. 9.3%
  • B. 43%
  • C. 84%
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 权益回报率(ROE)=净利润率X资产周转率X财务杠杆乘数=20%×3×1.4=84% 因此,本题的正确选项为C。
单选题 Using the following information for A&G Inc. :
●EBIT/revenue = 15%
●tax retention rate = 70%
●revenue/assets = 2.3 times
●current ratio = 3 times

【答案解析】[解析] 经过发展的杜邦分析法将传统方法中的净利润率进行了进一步分解。我们可以将传统的杜邦分析法的基本公式进一步改写为: [*] 由上式可知,三部分方法中的净利润率被分解为以下三部分: [*]称为税金负担,它等于(1-税率); [*]称为利息负担; [*]称为EBIT率。 从而我们可以得到扩展的杜邦分析法的基本公式: 权益回报率(ROE)=税金负担×利息负担×EBIT率×资产周转率×财务杠杆 权益回报率(ROE)=70%×60%×15%×2.3×1.7=24.6% 因此,本题的正确选项为B。

  • A. 8.2%
  • B. 18.7%
  • C. 26.5%
【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】[解析] 自留率(RR)=1-股息支付率=1-30%=70% 权益回报率(ROE)=净利润率×资产周转率×财务杠杆乘数=15%×1.4×1.8=37.8% 可持续增长(g)=自留率(RR)×权益回报率(ROE)=70%×37.8%=26.5%

  • B. in either the operating or financing section under U.S. GAAP.
  • C. only in the financing section under both IFRS and U.S. GAAP.
【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[解析] 根据美国GAAP准则,利息支付应当被归为营业现金流;IFRS标准的相关规定较为灵活,基于上述标准,企业既可以将利息支付金额归为营业观会流,也可以将其归为融资现金流。
