What is the most appropriate conclusion an analyst can make about the solvency of the company? Solvency has:

【Answer to question 1】B

【analysis】

B is correct. Sustainable growth rate = Retention ratio × ROE The higher a company’s return on equity (ROE) and its ability to finance itself from internally generated funds (a higher retention ratio), the greater its sustainable growth rate. In the five-factor ROE, any factor that increases ROE will increase sustainable growth: ROE = Tax burden × Interest burden × Earnings before interest and taxes margin × Asset turnover × Leverage A higher tax burden ratio (Net income/Earnings before tax) implies that the company can keep a higher percentage of pre-tax profits; this result implies a lower tax rate and a higher ROE. 

A is incorrect. Higher retention (lower payout) increases sustainable growth. 

C is incorrect. Lower interest burden means that the company has high borrowing costs, reducing pre-tax income relative to EBIT and reducing ROE and sustainable growth.

【Answer to question 2】A

【analysis】

A is correct. The debt-to-equity ratio decreased, thereby improving solvency; the fixed charge ratio remained the same.

Financial Report:Sustainable growth rate

B is incorrect. The fixed charge coverage stays the same 

C is incorrect. From table above, it was shown that the solvency improved since D/E decreased. But if the candidate incorrectly uses only LTD in the ratio, the ratio does increase. See table below
