29. Answer : (b)

Cost of goods sold = Rs. 39, 00,000.
Gross profit margin is given to be 25%. In other words gross profit is 25% of sales.
Let Sales be x. Therefore,
Cost of goods sold + 0.25 x = x
39, 00,000 + 0.25x = x
Hence x (i.e. Sales) = Rs. 52, 00,000.
Average receivables turnover ratio is given to be 52:15
i.e.
Net credit sales/Average accounts receivables = 52 /15 (assume that the entire sales are on a credit
basis)
52, 00,000 /Average accounts receivables = 52 /15
Therefore, Debtors (or average account receivables) = Rs. 15, 00,000.

3,55,000 3,55,000
Margin on cost 33 1/3 %
So, margin on sales = 33.33/133.33 = 25%
So, Gross Profit = 25% on Sales
= 25% 2, 50,000 = 62,500
55. Answer : (d)

Diagnostic Tool can be used to diagnose the strengths and weaknesses of a firm by assessing the
profitability and the financial soundness of the company.
56. Answer : (c)
Margin of Safety is = Profit / P/v ratio
P/v ratio = Contribution/ Sales
= 300000/500000
= 0.60
Contribution = (Sales – Fixed Cost)
= (5, 00,000 – 2, 00,000)
= 3, 00,000
Profit = Sales – Fixed Cost – Variable Cost
= 5, 00,000 – 2, 00,000 – (1, 50,000 + 40,000 + 40,000)
= 70,000
So, MOS = 70000/ 0.60
= 1, 16,667
57. Answer: (a)
P/V ratio = Change in Profit/ Change in Sales I
FA
= (23,400 – 17,000) / (1, 54,000 – 1, 38,000)
= 0.40
Contribution (Second year)
= Sales X P/V ratio
IC
= 1, 54,000 X 0.40
= 61, 600
So, Fixed Cost
= (Contribution – Profit)
= 61,600 – 23, 400
= 38,200
BEP sales
= Fixed Cost / P/V ratio
= 38,200/0.40
= 95,500
58. Answer: (d)
EVA
= NOPAT – (Avg. Capital Employed X WACC %)
= 15, 50,000 – (40, 00,000 X 14.50%)
= 9, 70,000
59. Answer: (d)

Current Ratio = CA/CL
= CA/15.50
So, CA= 46.50
Acid Test Ratio = (CA- Inventory) / CL
1.80 = (46.50- I) / 15.50
Inventory = 18.60 lakhs.
60. Answer : (e)
D/E = 4/5
Or, Equity = (5/9 X 45, 00,000)
= 25, 00,000
Equity/F.A = 8/15
25, 00,000/F.A = 8/15
So, F.A = 46.875 lakhs.
61. Answer: (e)
Net Profit Margin = (Net Profit/ Net Sales) X 100
I
FA
25% = (5, 60,000/Net Sales) X 100
Net Sales = 22, 40,000
Gross Profit
= (Net Sales – Cost of goods sold)
IC
= 22, 40,000 – 12, 00,000

= 10, 40,000
So, Gross profit margin = (Gross Profit/Net Sales) X 100
10, 40,000/22, 40,000 X 100
= 46.43%
62. Answer: (d)

Dividend payout ratio = DPS/EPS
DPS=500000/100000 = 5

= 41.67

91. Answer: (a )
The depreciated value of the asset Rs.2, 04,120
Depreciation rate – 10% Depreciation charged under straight line method for 3 years
Cost of asset before depreciation = Rs.2, 04,120 / [1−(3 X 10%)]
Rs.2, 04,120  / 0.7 = Rs.2, 91,600.
The cost of the asset before depreciation = Rs.2, 91,600.
92. Answer: (a)
Total debt to owners’ equity = 0.6
I
FA
Therefore, Total debt = 0.6 x Owners’ equity = 0.6 x 10, 00,000 = Rs.6, 00,000
Current debt to Total debt  = 0.40
= Current debt = 0.4 x Total debt = 0.4 x 6, 00,000 = Rs.2, 40,000.
Fixed assets to Total debt = 0.8
IC
= Fixed assets = 0.8 x Total debt =0.8 x 6, 00,000 = Rs.4, 80,000.

Total assets = Total liabilities= Owners’ equity + Total debt = Rs.10, 00,000 + 6, 00,000
= Rs. 16, 00,000
Current assets = Total assets – Fixed assets = 16, 00,000 – 4, 80,000 = Rs.11, 20,000.
Assets turnover = Sales /Assets = 2
Sales 2 x Assets = 2 x 16, 00,000 = Rs.32, 00,000
Inventory turnover = Sales/ Inventory 8
Inventory = Sales/8 = 32, 00,000/8 = Rs. 40, 00,000
Inventory to current assets ratio = 4, 00,000/11, 20,000 = 0.357
