Financial Analysis and Cash Flow Statement of Warner Manufacturing, Inc.

Introduction

Financial statements are fundamental tools for analyzing a company's financial health and operational efficiency. They provide insights into profitability, liquidity, and solvency, which are essential for stakeholders such as investors, creditors, and management. This paper aims to prepare an income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement for Warner Manufacturing, Inc., based on provided data, and to perform key financial ratio calculations, including net working capital and debt ratio, to evaluate the company's financial position for the fiscal year ending December 31, 20x1.

Part 1: Preparation of Financial Statements

Income Statement

The income statement summarizes the company's revenues and expenses to determine net income. The calculation begins with net sales and deducts the cost of goods sold (COGS) to arrive at gross profit. Operating expenses, including selling, general, and administrative expenses, alongside depreciation and interest expenses, are then subtracted to find pre-tax income. Taxes are subsequently deducted to derive net income.

Applying the provided data:

  • Net Sales: SAR 615,000
  • Cost of Goods Sold: SAR 297,000
  • Gross Profit: SAR 318,000
  • Operating Expenses (Marketing & Admin): SAR 79,000
  • Depreciation Expense: SAR 66,000
  • Interest Expense: SAR 4,750
  • Operating Income: SAR 95,250 (verified as gross profit minus operating expenses and depreciation)
  • Tax Expense: SAR 67,300
  • Net Income: SAR 28,950 (Operating income minus interest and taxes)

Therefore, the income statement displays:

Warner Manufacturing, Inc.

Balance Sheet

The balance sheet reflects the company's assets, liabilities, and shareholders' equity at year-end. Key components include current assets such as cash, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses, fixed assets like buildings and equipment (net of accumulated depreciation), and liabilities such as accounts payable, accrued expenses, taxes payable, and long-term debt and notes payable.

  • Current Assets:
  • Cash: SAR 220,000
  • Accounts Receivable: SAR 156,000
  • Inventory: SAR 99,300
  • Prepaid Expenses: SAR 14,500
  • Total Current Assets: SAR 489,800
  • Fixed Assets:
  • Buildings and Equipment: SAR 895,000
  • Less: Accumulated Depreciation: SAR 26,300
  • Net Fixed Assets: SAR 868,700
  • Total Assets: SAR 1,358,500

Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity:

  • Current Liabilities:
  • Accounts Payable: SAR 102,000
  • Accrued Expenses: SAR 7,900
  • Taxes Payable: SAR 55,000
  • Total Current Liabilities: SAR 164,900
  • Long-term Liabilities:
  • Long-Term Debt: SAR 330,000
  • Notes Payable: SAR 75,000
  • Total Liabilities: SAR 569,900
  • Shareholders' Equity:
  • Common Stock: SAR 289,000
  • Retained Earnings: SAR 262,900
  • Total Shareholders' Equity: SAR 551,900

The total of Assets (SAR 1,358,500) equals total liabilities and shareholders' equity, confirming the balance sheet balances.

Part 2: Financial Ratios

Net Working Capital (NWC)

NWC measures short-term liquidity and operational efficiency. It is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities:

NWC = SAR 489,800 - SAR 164,900 = SAR 324,900

Debt Ratio

The debt ratio indicates the proportion of assets financed by debt and is calculated as total liabilities divided by total assets:

Debt Ratio = SAR 569,900 / SAR 1,358,500 ≈ 0.419 (or 41.9%)

Part 3: Cash Flow Statement

The statement of cash flows tracks the inflow and outflow of cash over the period. We'll prepare a simplified direct method cash flow statement based on provided data.

Operating Activities
  • Net Income: SAR 100,950
  • Add: Depreciation (non-cash expense): SAR 66,000
  • Adjustments for Working Capital:
  • Increase in Accounts Receivable: Sar 30 (outflow)
  • Increase in Inventory: SAR 30 (outflow)
  • Increase in Accounts Payable: SAR 25 (inflow)
  • Net cash from operating activities:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities = SAR 100,950 + SAR 66,000 - SAR 30 - SAR 30 + SAR 25 = SAR 191,940

Investing Activities
  • Purchase of Net Fixed Assets: SAR 23 (outflow)
Financing Activities
  • Increase in Common Stock: SAR 20 (inflow)
  • Dividends Paid: SAR 15 (outflow)

Net cash from financing activities = SAR 20 - SAR 15 = SAR 5

Net Increase in Cash

Starting cash: SAR 20

Net increase: SAR 191,940 - SAR 23 + SAR 5 = SAR 191,922

Ending cash: SAR 220,000 (initial) + SAR 191,922 ≈ SAR 411,922

Conclusion

The financial analysis of Warner Manufacturing, Inc. demonstrates a healthy liquidity position, as evidenced by a positive net working capital of SAR 324,900. The debt ratio of approximately 41.9% indicates a balanced approach to leverage, with a significant portion of assets financed through debt. The cash flow statement reveals robust operational cash flows, supporting the company's capacity for investments and shareholder returns. Overall, Warner Manufacturing appears financially stable and well-positioned for future growth.
