Answer: Safeguard assets — A company must safeguard its assets against waste, inefficiency, and fraud. Employees should be encouraged to follow company policies — Everyone in an organization should work toward the same goals. A proper system of controls provides clear policies that result in fair treatment of both customers and employees. Promote operational efficiency — Effective controls minimize waste, which lowers costs and increases profits. Ensure accurate, reliable accounting records — Without proper controls, records may be unreliable, making it impossible to tell which part of the business is profitable and which part needs improvement. A business could be losing money on every product it sells — unless it keeps accurate records for the costs of its products. Comply with legal requirements — When companies disobey the law, they are subject to fines, or in extreme cases, their top executives may even go to jail. Effective internal controls help ensure compliance with the law and avoidance of legal difficulties.

31) For each of the following ratios, (a) provide the formula for computing the ratio, (b) state what the ratio measures and (c) discuss how the ratio is interpreted. 1. Quick Ratio 2. Accounts Receivable Turnover 3. Days' Sales Outstanding Answer: 1. Quick Ratio (a) Formula: (b) This ratio measures the ability to pay current liabilities with quick assets. This ratio is more stringent than the current ratio because only the most liquid current assets are used (cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and net current receivables). (c) The higher the quick ratio, the easier it is to pay current liabilities. A quick ratio of 0.75 means that the company has $0.75 of quick assets to pay each $1 of current liabilities. 2. Accounts Receivable Turnover (a) Formula: (b) This ratio measures the ratio of net credit sales to average net accounts receivable. The ratio shows the number of times a company collects its receivables annually. (c) The accounts receivable turnover shows the number of times per year the company completely collects its average accounts receivable. An accounts receivable turnover of 10.7 means that, on average, the company collects its accounts receivable 10.7 times each year. A higher turnover is preferable. 3. Days' Sales Outstanding (a) Formula: (b) This ratio measures how long it takes for the company to collect its average level of receivables. (c) The days' sales outstanding ratio converts the accounts receivable turnover into the average number of days that it takes to collect accounts receivable. This can be compared to the credit terms. For example, if the sales are made n/30 and the days' sales outstanding is 45 days, customers are not paying within the period allowed in the credit terms. In this case, the collection period is too long, and the company should take corrective action.

19) How does the disclosure principle help financial statements users compare the financial statements of retailers, with regard to inventories? Answer: The disclosure principle holds that a company's financial statements should report enough information for outsiders to make informed decisions about the company. The company should report relevant and representationally faithful information about itself. This means properly disclosing inventory accounting methods, as well as the substance of all material transactions impacting the existence and proper valuation of inventory. It also requires the use of comparable methods for consistency of presentation from period to period. The financial statements typically contain a footnote describing the inventory pricing method used, as well as the fact that inventory was valued at the lower of that method or market. The financial statements of retailers can be compared if they use the same inventory method. The disclosures reveal the inventory method used by each company, so users can compare companies with the same inventory method.
