Question 1

Lindley Corp.’s stock price at the end of last year was $48.71, and its book value per share was $40.50. What was its market/book ratio?

1.56


1.40


1.31


1.20



Question 2

Muscarella Inc. has the following balance sheet and income statement data:

Cash

$ 15,000

Accounts payable

$ 48,000

Receivables

80,000

Other current liabilities

32,000

Inventories

230,000

Total CL

80,000

Total CA

325,000

Long-term debt

90,000

Net fixed assets

155,000

Common equity

310,000

Total assets

$480,000

Total liab. and equity

$480,000

Sales

$310,000

Net income

$26,000


The new CFO thinks that inventories are excessive and could be lowered sufficiently to cause the current ratio to equal the industry average, 2.8, without affecting either sales or net income. Assuming that inventories are sold off and not replaced to get the current ratio to the target level, and that the funds generated are used to buy back common shares at book value, by how much would the ROE change?


3.51%


3.80%


4.05%


4.29%
