E24-4 (Ratio Computation and Analysis; Liquidity)As loan analyst for Utrillo Bank, you have been presented the following information.

Each of these companies has requested a loan of $50,000 for 6 months with no collateral offered. Inasmuch as your bank has reached its quota for loans of this type, only one of these requests is to be granted.

Instructions

Which of the two companies, as judged by the information given above, would you recommend as the better risk and why? Assume that the ending account balances are representative of the entire year.

Toulouse Co. Lautrec Co.

Lautrec Co. has a higher current ratio, acid-test ratio, A/R turnover, and cash to current liabilities ratio. The cash to current liabilities ratio is of particular interest as Lautrec has only $.91 cash to each $1.00 of liabilities. This is not a good ratio, however, this is a much better ratio then Toulouse Co.’s of $0.39 cash to each dollar of debt. Toulouse is going to have cash inflow problems of a very serious nature soon and is a worse risk.
