2. 2006 performance improved in terms of decreasing its accounts receivable, which is most
probably a result of better collection system. The company decreased its income tax liability for 2006,
as well. Sales increased for 2006, perhaps as a result of increase in selling and administrative
expense and investment in new non-current asset. Though the percentage increase in selling and
administrative expense (19.40%) does not cover the increase in sales (11.60%).

While there are commendable improvements, there seems to be many aspects of its operations that
failed to improve in 2006.

For one, the company is still liquid though its current ratio has decreased from 2.18 in 2005 to 1.71
in 2006. With regards to its inventory turnover, it decreased from 6.1 in 2005 to 5.12 in 2006. It has
also greatly increased its liabilities, thereby increasing creditors interest in the company.

3. No, Browning will not be able to accomplish this. To be able to accomplish this goal, Browning
must have cash more than what it has based on projection. What the company can do is to look at
its inventory, the turnover of which declined in 2006. They should predict the demand of their product
and from this, anticipate the cost they will put into purchasing their materials and into expending for
conversion costs. Its ending finished goods balance in 2006 is far greater than what it had for 2005.
The cash was tied up to inventory when it should have allocated that for paying off notes payable if
it was their objective.

4. Because the turnover did not improve for 2006, Browning has two options to improve the turnover.
Because inventory turnover is the ratio of cost of goods sold to average inventory, Browning has two
options:
a. Reduce average inventory
Michael V. Baylosis MBA 204 December 5, 2015
This can be done by anticipating the demand for their product, thereby minimising excess inventory
unsold by the end of the year. Failure to anticipate the demand for their product accurately may lead
to oversupplying of inventory, which will affect the turnover negatively. The company can also reduce
ending inventory by looking for cheaper sources of their raw materials, labor, and overhead if
possible.

b. Increase cost of goods sold


This can be done by increasing the demand for their product by tapping into marketing initiatives.
On a financial side, the company can look into reducing its markup rate on the sales price of their
products.

5. The trade credit standing will definitely be affected because of the increase in both accounts and
notes payable. Because the firm is considerably liquid, the credit standing of Browning will still be
in a somewhat good condition. This is, of course, judging by the figures alone. It would be better if
the ability of Browning to make interest payments for its notes payables would also be given
consideration in order to provide a complete picture of its credit standing. Its improved collection
system, as inferred from a decreased accounts receivable may be attractive to creditors. This does
not come without caution, however because around 26% of the capital in the business is funded by
liabilities.

In preparing the financial statements, attention was drawn to the value assigned for the coupon
books because the figures provided made use of the fair value when it should have used the selling
price instead.

Also, there was a dispute as to whether or not the proceeds from sale of equipment will be included
in the computation of 15% of gross receipts for rent expense. However working back the figures for
the rent expense the past four months reveal that only the gross receipts from normal operations
was used as basis.

2. From the four months of operations revealed so far, it appears that the capital investment of the
owners can be quickly recovered. What is noticeable from the financial statements formulated above
is that there is excess cash which may be used to invest in marketable securities or in investing
toward additional equipment or, most importantly, to pay all its outstanding liabilities.
