CFA level 1 Question for the dayLaxman Ltd reported a return on equity of 27%. Net profit margin of 6% and Asset turn over ratio of 1.4X. If the company had Equity of 550 crs what would be the company €™s Average total assetsa.Rs. 1650 crsb.Rs.183.3 crsc.Rs.2475 crs
I am getting the answer as 1767 crs. Please correct me where i am wrong.
PAT/Equity = return on Equity = .27 => PAT = Equity *.27 = 148.5 crores
PAT/sales = net profit margi = .06 => Sales = PAT/.06 = 2475 crores
Finally, Sales / avg assets = asset turnover = 1.4x => avg assets = 2475/1.4 = 1767 crores.

This question uses dupont analysis. Financial leverage = RoE/ (NPM * 1.4) = 0.27/ (0.06 * 1.4) =3.2X. Assets = Equity * Financial leverage = 3.2* 550 = 1768.

The right answer is 1768. Unfortunately there was an error in the choices given in the original question

Working capital turnover ratio is revenue/(current assets - current liability).

When we pay accounts payable using cash, our current assets(cash) decreased and current liability (assounts payable) also decreases by the same amount, keeping the difference of currnet assets - current liabilities CONSTANT.

Hence answer should be C. The ration will not change.

Started with FRA, and Cash Flow Statements have been the most time consuming for me so far...

although, I must say, it's a must for modeling - being strong with how the cash flows tie to the balance sheet and income statement items.

Guys Need some help:


I have secured 97%ile this year in CAT but I will give it next year.. Also I'll give CFA level 1 in June.. I just registered for it and have around 3 months to study..
