CFA財務報表分析練習題＂Financial Report＂：Financial Analysis
財務報告與分析中章節(jié)的設置是循序漸進、逐層深入的，前面介紹的術語在后面還會有詳細的解釋與探討。
由于財務報告與分析本身自立體系，它是上市公司和報表使用人之間溝通交流的語言，所以學起來與外語學習有幾分相似。
財務報告與分析一共分為四大部分：
第一部分是掃盲階段，主要介紹財務術語、體系等基本知識。
在此基礎上，第二部分更深入地講解財務報表編制以及財務報表分析的方法。
進一步地，第三部分針對存在利潤操縱空間的重點科目做詳細、深入的討論。
最后，第四部分是前面三部分內(nèi)容的綜合應用。
四大部分在考試中占比最大的是第二部分和第三部分，大概占財報分析所有題目的80%以上。其次是第一部分，占比10%左右。
由于第四部分是財務分析的綜合應用，不太適合一級的出題形式，所以出題比例相對比較少，大概占5%左右。

Questions 1:

A company operating in a highly fragmented and competitive industry reported an increase in return on equity(ROE)over the prior year.Which of the following reasons for the increase in ROE is least likely to be sustainable?The company:
A、increased the prices of its product significantly.
B、decided to make greater use of long-term borrowing capacity.
C、implemented a new IT system,allowing it to reduce working capital levels as a percentage of assets.

【Answer to question 1】A

【analysis】
A is correct.
An increase in price is not sustainable in a fragmented and competitive industry.Fragmented industries tend to be highly price competitive because of the need to increase market share and undercut prices in an attempt to steal share.
B is incorrect.Increasing the use of long-term borrowing capacity will increase leverage and increase ROE and is sustainable as long as the company maintains that level of leverage.
C is incorrect.By lowering the amount of working capital in the business,the company lowered its average total assets and average shareholders’equity and increased its turnover ratio.Holding all else equal,a lower average total asset will increase the ROE through the higher turnover ratio.This strategy is sustainable because it relies on an improvement in productivity generated by new technology(new IT system).

Questions 2:

The company’s cash conversion cycle improved.The reduction in days of sales outstanding indicates that the company improved its collections from customers and shortened the cash conversion cycle.The increase in number of days of payables indicates that the company took longer to pay suppliers,which also shortened the cash conversion cycle and indicates greater liquidity.The only metric that deteriorated is days of inventory on hand,which indicates that the company tied up more capital in inventory.Therefore,inventory management did not improve the cash conversion cycle.
A is incorrect.The reduction in days of sales outstanding indicates that the company improved its collections from customers.This also served to shorten the cash conversion cycle and indicates greater liquidity.Therefore,the response is valid as it did represent an improvement.
B is incorrect because the increase in number of days of payables indicates that the company took longer to pay suppliers,which served to shorten the cash conversion cycle and indicates greater liquidity.Therefore,the response is valid as it did represent an improvement.
