- Return on net operating assets ( RNOA = NOPAT/Average NOA) is commonly used to evaluate a companies financial performance. If managers cannot increase NOPAT, they can still increase RNOA by reducing the amount of net operating assets (NOA). Listed below are four operating items that can be effectively managed to reduce operating assets, and/or increase RNOA: Inventories Accounts Receivable Plant, Property, and Equipment (fixed assets) Accounts Payable List and explain ONE action you would take, for EACH operating item above, to increase RNOA and/or reduce net operating assets (NOA). In your response, you should have ONE action item for EACH operating item listed.arrow_forwardWhen measuring the investment of the firm, assets are often used. Select all that are issues with this measurement: Question 2 options: a) The book value of assets declines with use for sales (matching), which makes it appear that the same sales can be made with a smaller investment in assets in the future b) The firm has paid for these assets already (cash flow in the past) c) The market value of assets can vary d) Assets do not represent everything that is needed to make salesarrow_forwardWhich of the following is consistent with an increase in a firm's return on investment? a. an increase in the asset level required to maintain current sales volume b. costs decrease less than revenues do c. costs increase more than revenues do d. an increase in sales revenuearrow_forward
- Which of the following statements is true? I. In the payback method, depreciation is added back to net operating income when computing the annual net cash flow. II. When a company is cash poor, a project with a short payback period but a low rate of return may be preferred to a project with a long payback period and a high rate of return. III. A shorter payback period does not necessarily mean that one investment is more desirable than another. Only statement III is true. O All of the statements are true. None of the statements are true. Only statement I is true.arrow_forward5. Using regression analysis to forecast assets The AFN equation and the financial statement–forecasting approach both assume that assets grow at relatively the same rate as sales. However, the relationship between assets and sales is often a little more difficult than that. In particular, some firms use regression analysis to predict the required assets needed to support a given level of sales. General Services Corp. has used its historical sales and asset data to estimate the following regression equations: Accounts Receivable = –$99,220 + 0.225(Sales) Inventories = $9,110 + 0.180(Sales) General Services Corp. currently has sales of $900,000, but it expects sales to grow by 30% over the next year. Use the regression models to calculate General Services Corp.’s forecasted values for accounts receivable and inventories needed to support next year’s sales. Forecasted Values for Next Year Accounts receivable Inventories Based on the…arrow_forwardIs it true that A high return on assets (Ropa) is an indication that a firm has a high level/value of assets compared to a low profit margin?arrow_forward
