Effect of decisions on ratios

Betsy Ross Flag Company's long-term debt agreements make certain demands on the business. For example, Ross may not purchase treasury stock in excess of the balance of retained earnings. Also, long-term debt may not exceed stockholders' equity, and the current ratio may not fall below 1.50. If Ross fails to meet any of those requirements, the company's lenders have the authority to take over management of the company.

Changes in consumer demand have made it hard for Ross to attract customers. Current lia-bilities have mounted faster than current assets, causing the current ratio to fall to 1.47. Before releasing financial statements, Ross's management is scrambling to improve the current ratio. The controller points out that an investment can be classified as either long-term or short-term, depending on management's intention. By deciding to convert an investment to cash within one year, Ross can classify the investment as short-term-a current asset. On the controller's recom-mendation, Ross's board of directors votes to reclassify long-term investments as short-term.

Requirements

1. What effect will reclassifying the investments have on the current ratio? Is Ross's true finan¬cial position stronger as a result of reclassifying the investments?

2. Shortly after the financial statements are released, sales improve and so, too, does the current ratio. As a result, Ross's management decides not to sell the investments it had reclassified as short-term. Accordingly, the company reclassifies the investments as long-term.

Has management behaved unethically? Give the reasoning underlying your answer.

2. Evaluate Inspired's cash flows for the year. Discuss each of the categories of cash flows in your response.

Prepare statements of cash flows (indirect and direct method) (Learning Objectives 1, 2, & 3) Barton Publication Company, Inc., has the following comparative balance sheet as of March 31, 2010.
