The prediction that the company

c)  bankrupt company
d) is  on the verge of financial ruin
e) a and b
d) c and d



1. Working capital = Current assets - current liabilities = 140000 - 70000 = 70,000
2. Total assets = 210000+90000+35000+10000+5000 = 350000
3. Retained earnings. = Reserves & surplus = 30000
4. EBIT = operating profit = 200000
5. Market value of shares = 10000 x 15 = 150000
6. Book value of total debts = Long term liabilities + current liabilities = 150000 + 70000 =
220000.
7. Sales = 200000 x 4 = 800000, since operating profit is 25% on sales.
Conclusion:
Z = 1.2×0.20 + 1.4 × 0.09 + 3.3 × 0.57 + 0.6 × 0.68 + 1.0 × 2.29 = 4.945, say 4.95
