Answer:
a. An ROA of 0.7 when the industry average is 1.4
b. A current ratio of 0.5.
f. A debt capital ratio of 0.7 when the industry average is 0.15
e. A fixed asset ratio of 0.6 when the industry average is 1.1
Explanation:
A return on the asset ration may be a profitable ratio that indicates the efficiency of the usage of the assets in any business. When the ratio is higher it is better. A lower ratio shows the financial weakness of a firm for utilizing the assets.
A 0.7 debt ratio that is higher than the industry average represents a higher leverage and the higher solvency risk.
The 0.6 fixed asset ratio shows a lower utilization of the fixed assets in the generation of the turnover. Hence, it shows a financial weakness.
Current ratio represents the coverage of the current assets for the meeting of a short term obligations. The ratio is desired to be 2.
Ratio of 0.5 shows a current asset that is not sufficient for meeting the current liabilities.

The Clemson Company reported the following results last year for the manufacture and sale of one of its products known as a Tam.
Sales (6,500 Tams at $130 each) $845,000
Variable cost of sales 390,000
Variable distribution costs 65,000
Fixed advertising expense 275,000
Salary of product line manager 25,000
Fixed manufacturing overhead 145,000
Net loss ($55,000)
Clemson Company is trying to determine whether or not to discontinue the manufacture and sale of Tams. The operating results reported above for last year are expected to continue in the foreseeable future if the product is not dropped. The fixed manufacturing overhead represents the costs of production facilities and equipment that the Tam product shares with other products. Assume that discontinuing the Tam product would result in a $120,000 increase in the contribution margin of other product lines.
Required:
How many Tams would have to be sold next year for the company to be as well off as if it just dropped the line and enjoyed the increase in contribution margin from other products?
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
With regards to the above information, there would be no sales if Tam were to be dropped. Also, there would be no cost associated with it other than $145,000 fixed manufacturing overhead.
Again, since the net loss operating loss was $55,000, the $145,000 would increase that loss by $90,000.
