Essentially,
operating leverage
boils down to an analysis of fixed costs and from each additional sale if they don't have to
increase
costs to produce more
sales
made after the
break
-
even point
will generate a higher contribution to profit.
As stated
above
, in good times, high
operating leverage
can supercharge profit.
Operating leverage is equal to __________________.
Report Question

operating
income by increasing revenue. A business that generates sales with a high gross margin and low variable costs has high
operating leverage
.

Old Ratio - New Ratio = _______.
Report Question
0%
Sacrificing ratio
0%
Gaining Ratio
0%
Deficiency Ratio
0%
Current Ratio
Explanation
When a new partner is admitted he is given an agreed share in profits this share is only given due to sacrifice made by the old partners from their existing profit sharing ratio hence
The ration in which the partners have agreed to sacrifice their share in profit in favour of other partner is known as sacrificing ratio.
The difference between old ratio and new ratio is the sacrifice ratio.
For example:
Old profit sharing ratio is 3:2:1 among A,B and C
New profit sharing ratio is 1:2:3 among A,B and C
Sacrificing ratio = Old ratio-New ratio
Gaining ratio= New ratio-Old ratio
A sacrifices=3/6-1/6 = 2/6
B sacrifices=2/6-2/6= No change
C gaining=1/6-3/6=2/6.

0%
$$4$$ months
0%
$$3$$ months
0%
$$2$$ months

Acid test ratio
Explanation
Acid test ratio or Quick ratio = Quick Assets/ Current Liabilities
= [Current Assets minus Inventory]/Current Liabilities
The Quick ratio is a much more conservative measure of short term liquidity than the Current ratio. We reduce the amount of funds held up in inventory form the current assets ,so that we can get a clear picture of how much fund can we mobilize for payment of dues in case of a cash crunch or a liquidity crisis.
Which of the following comes under efficiency ratios?
Report Question
0%
Average collection period.
0%
Inventory turnover ratio.
0%

Quick ratio

Quick ratio is a liquidity ratio or short term solvency ratio. Whereas the remaining three ratios are leverage ratios.
The immediate solvency ratio is?
Report Question
0%
Current Ratio
0%
Quick Ratio
0%
Debtors Turnover Ratio
0%
Stock Turnover Ratio
Explanation
The immediate solvency ratio is the quick ratio.
Quick Ratio = [Current Assets- Inventory] / [Current liabilities - Bank Overdraft and Cash credit]
While calculating the quick ratio we reduce the amount of inventory as it is less liquid than the other current assets. The reason to reduce the amount of bank overdraft and cash credit is that mostly these are secured against inventory. So quick ratio gives us an immediate solvency ratio and is a much more conservative ratio than the current ratio.
Hence b is the correct answer.
If the current ratio is $$2 : 1$$ and working capital is $$Rs. 60,000$$, what is the value of the current assets?
Report Question
0%
$$Rs. 60,000$$
0%
$$Rs. 1,00,000$$
0%
$$Rs. 1,20,000$$
0%
$$Rs. 1,80,000$$
Explanation
Current Ratio = Current Assets (C.A)/ Current Liabilities (C.L) = $$2/1$$
So, CA= $$2$$ CL
Now, Working Capital = Current Assets(C.A) minus Current Liabilities (C.L) = $$Rs.60000$$
So, C.A - C.L = $$60000$$
$$2$$ C.L-CL = $$60000$$
C.L = $$Rs. 60000$$
Now, C.A = $$2$$ x $$60000$$ = $$Rs. 120000$$

Sales
Sales Asset

Return
= Profit margin and
Sales
= Asset turnover
Sales Asset
Therefore R.O.I = Profit margin x Asset turnover
= $$10\%$$ x $$3$$
= $$30\%$$
