1. Compute the following ratios for the years ended February 1, 2015, and February 2, 2014, or as of the end of those two years, as appropriate.
Beginning balances for the year ended February 2, 2014, are not available; that is, you do not have a balance sheet as of February 3, 2013. Therefore, to be consistent, use year-end balances for both years where you would normally use average amounts for the year. Finally, note that the company does not report interest expense separately on its income statement. Ignore any interest expense in computing the return on assets ratio. Use a 360 day year in days’ sales calculations.
2. Comment on lululemon’s liquidity. Has it improved or declined over the two-year period.
Check all that apply.
a. Both the current ratio and the quick ratio declined over the two-year period.
b. The number of days’ sales in inventory in 2014 means that the company turns its inventory over about every six months.
c. Cash flow from operations to current liabilities declined over the two-year period.
d. Declining liquidity ratios indicate that the company appears to be unable to meet its short-term obligations
3. Comment on lululemon’s profitability.
Check all that apply.
a. The return on assets and the return on common stockholders’ equity ratios declined from the prior year, and they still indicate a relatively high level of profitability.
b. Other factors, including information on the current market price of the stock, should be considered before making a decision.
c. Earnings per share declined from the prior year making it a poor investment.
d. The company did not pay dividends in either of the two years and therefore would not be a good investment for those who want periodic dividend receipts.
