Question Company G has a ratio of liabilities to stockholders’ equity of 0.12 and 0.28 for 2010 and 2011, respectively. In contrast, Company M has
a ratio of liabilities to stockholders’ equity of 1.13 and 1.29 for the same period.
REQUIRED:
Based on this information, which company's creditors are more at risk and why? Should the creditors of either company fear the risk of
nonpayment?
Answer
Company M’s creditors are more at risk than are Company G’s creditors.The lower the ratio of liabilities to owner’s equity, the better able
the company is to withstand poor business conditions and pay its obligations to creditors. Without additional information, it appears that
the creditors of either company are well protected against the risk of nonpayment, because the ratios are relatively low for both. However,
the fact that both ratios are increasing over the period should be monitored for downturns in business conditions.
Question Given the following data:
Dec. 31,2012 Dec. 31,2011
Total liabilities $118,750 $104,000
Total owner’s equity 95,000 80,000
