Financial Analysis
CanGo is off to a good start financially. CanGo has done a great job of not taking on more debt than they can handle. CanGo also has very good current and quick ratios, with a current ratio of 5.39 and a quick ratio of 4.53 it is pretty clear that CanGo could easily pay of their debt if need be and still be able to keep running. CanGo has a working capital of 164,820,000 on again this shows that CanGo is more than capable of paying off its debts. When looking at CanGo’s level of solvency they seem to be doing very well in this area as well with a current debt ratio is 40.23%. According to the Risk Management Association the average debt ratio for most companies is 62%, given that CanGo is at just over 40% should they need financing for a project banks will consider them as low risk and be more likely to give lower interest rates (Financial, 2008).
There are many strategies CanGo can use to improve its receivable turnover ratio; providing rebates or incentives for customers who pay their balances off quickly, imposing fees on those who take more than a specified amount of time, and lowering or even eliminating interest on accounts that are paid in a specified period of time. All of these strategies will encourage customers to pay their debt as soon as possible. It is important for any company to collect on its receivables quickly because the longer a receivable goes unpaid the more likely it is that it will be defaulted on. CanGo needs to do a complete inventory analysis, they need to determine what is in stock, how much of each item they have, how many of each item is being sold, and how often they are selling each item. They then need to determine how many of each item should be held in stock and how often they should do re-orders. The purpose is to be to keep as little stock on hand as possible without creating stock outs. This will increase CanGo’s inventory turnover ratio and save them avoidable storage and warehouse expenses.
