1 to 5 below:
1.
Comment on the performance trends for current
ratio and return on total assets of AL Pty Ltd using the ratios provided and
noting 2020 was impacted by COVID-19 lock-downs. AL Pty Ltd operates in the
furniture retail industry. Choose another company in the same industry,
preferably a publicly listed company with easy access to the required relevant
financial information. Using the DuPont Method, provide a critical analysis of
AL Pty Ltd’s Return on Equity performance for the last 5 years relative to the
competitor you have chosen. Please complete the analysis using publicly
available data for the competitor (e.g. IBISWorld and/or annual reports).
2.
Comment on the view taken by the VP of
Operations that the company should be increasing stock level and opening new
stores. Take into account all key finance principles, concepts and theories
which are relevant. Also, 2020 was not a good year for AL Pty Ltd and 2021
started quite slow with the business seeing a large number of returns of
furniture (refunds). The VP of Operations has proposed that these refunds be
posted in the 2022 results to give some breathing space for 2021. Discuss the
ethical implications of this proposal from the VP of Operations.
3.
One of the suggestions from the CEO is to
consider floating the company to raise capital. Evaluate the pros and cons of
listing the company and becoming public.
4.
Identify and discuss the limitations of your
analysis.
5.
Based on your analysis and discussion, make
recommendations as to whether AL Pty Ltd should continue on the same trajectory
and whether listing the company would be beneficial. Suggest other alternative
growth options for the company as well.
