Energy Associates (EA), a nonprofit agency, purchases energy-saving devices in bulk, repackages them, and sells them to low-income consumers. Its products consist of shower nozzles that restrict the flow of water, thermostats with timers, and storm windows. Exhibit 1 contains the agency’s balance sheets as of 31 December of the two most recent years, and its operating statements for those two years. Assignment - Calculate all relevant ratios for EA.*
- What do the ratios tell you about EA that you didn't already know?
- What additional information would you like to have about EA to better analyze their financial statements?
* Try to set up a spreadsheet to calculate the ratios. Set it up to be as “formula driven” as possible, i.e., in such a way that you need to enter as few items as possible from the financial statements. Then use the spreadsheet for other cases when you need to calculate ratios. If you set the spreadsheet up correctly, you should be able to calculate ratios for the next organization you analyze by copying the EA file and entering the numbers from the new set of financial statements. All relevant ratios then should be calculated automatically by the spreadsheet formulas.
