  8. High investment in capital expenditure: This is another major problem of cash flow. Such problem arises when the company makes investment of large funds even if it is not able to generate adequate revenue (Mclellan and Moustafa, 2013). Investment in capital expenditure has to be carried out only when Vodafone possess sufficient funds that can be invested in fixed assets.  Problem associated with overdrafts: Negative cash flow of business demonstrates liquidity position of the organization. This represents that company does not possess adequate amount of cash to meet its overheads and expenses.

Because of this, company has to make payment within shorter time duration that result in increasing the cash outflow in each month.  Bad debts: Various problems in the cash flow arise due to bad debts. When the debtors of the company become bankrupt and refuse to make payment then this result in decreasing the cash inflow of the business.

  9. Decrease in time of payment allowed to debtors: The Company can reduce the time period allowed to debtors for payment (Needles, Powers and Crosson, 2008). By minimizing the time the consistency in revenue from debtors will enhance.  Using the benefits of overdraft: Overdraft facility is offered by the bank to the company so that it can manage its negative cash flows. Banks grants overdraft facility for specified period of time without any interest. The firm can take advantage of such type of service for specific time period.  Payment for creditors: The Company can make payment of due amount to creditors by taking advantage of the terms that are provided for payment. Organization should not make payment before the duration specified by the creditors (Nikbakht and Groppelli, 2006). Moreover it can negotiate with its suppliers as well as creditors to make payment after stated time period. Negotiation with creditors allows company to gain advantage of making payment after particular time span. This assist business in bringing liquidity.  Management of capital expenditure of organization: It is important for firm to manage its capital expenditure when there is shortage of cash. Further organization should not make purchase of assets that require huge amount of funds (Romeo, Lee, and Bao, 2010). Such situation can be managed by making purchase on assets on hire purchase or on lease. This does not require involvement of huge amount of funds. TASK 2 (P4) Preparing profit and loss account and balance sheet For the present report organization selected is Vodafone.

This ratio will measure the profit of Vodafone and examines the relationship between sales and profitability of the firm. It acts as an aid for the firm in determining its financial performance with respect to profit. If the organization has higher profitability ratio then this reflects that firm has sound position (Ratio analysis, 2013). On the other hand lower ratio reflects poor business performance. a) Gross profit ratio: From the above calculation it can be interpreted that profitability of Vodafone is decreasing. In year 2013 the GPR is 31.36%. However it has increased in 2012 that is 32.03%. Thus it can be determined that sales of the company have decreased because of which its profitability is affected adversely. 2013: (13940/ 44445)* 100 = 31.36 2012: (14871/46417) * 100 = 32.03 TOLL-FREE NO: +61 879057034 EMAIL: help@assignmentprime.com WHATSAPP NO: +61 450461655 WEBSITE: www.assignmentprime.com ASSIGNMENT WRITING HELP FOR AUSTRALIAN STUDENTS

  14. b) Operating profit ratio: In the year 2013 the operating profit ratio of Vodafone is 10.60%. However in 2012 it was 24.10%. This implies that sales of the company have decreased drastically (Vodafone annual report, 2013). Due to this the cost of production of the firm has increased which has thereby resulted in lowering down its profitability. Vodafone needs to strengthen its marketing strategy so that it can promote its products and services in the market. 2013: (4728/ 44445)* 100 = 10.63 2012: (11187/46417) * 100 = 24.10 Liquidity ratios: This ratio measures the liquidity of the business. It assists the business in determining whether or not it is capable enough to meet its short term obligations.

The current ratio of company in year 2012 is .83 which has ben decreased in year 2013. In 2013 current ratio of Vodafone was .74. This reflects that liability of the company has increased greatly which can obstruct the firm’s activities in future. It represent that company is not possessing sound liquidity position as compared to previous year. In order to increase the liquidity position company needs to keep control over its expenses.

  15. 2013: (23287/ 31224) = 0.74 2012: (20025/24025) = 0.83 b) Quick ratio: This ratio determines the liquidity position of the firm by taking into account the available inventories. In 2013 the quick ratio of Vodafone is .73 which was .81 in 2012. This reflects that quick ratio of the company has declined from the previous year which implies that business incur high cost in maintaining its inventory. Moreover it does not possess the ability to meet its short as well as long term obligations. This reflects that company is not able to manage its accounts receivables, securities as well as cash in an effective manner. The liquidity position of the company in comparison to previous year is not sound. 2013: (23287- 450/ 31224) = 0.73 2012: (20025-486/24025) = 0.81 Efficiency ratios: This ratio determines how effectively business makes utilization of its assets and liabilities. Efficiency ratio is effective in determining the enhancement in the profitability of Vodafone (Jones and Clatworthy, 2006). This will reflect the efficiency of the business with respect to its inventory, creditor and debtor payment period. This ratio assists the firm in evaluating its receivables and payable turnover and the time in which business collects and make payment. a) Asset turnover ratio: This ratio reflects the efficiency of the business on the basis of effective utilization of resources. Asset turnover ratio of Vodafone in year 2013 is 31.14%. This was 33.25% in 2012. This implies that firm is not effectively making utilization of resources. Moreover company is not managing its assets in an appropriate manner due to which its overall efficiency is lowering down (Kwok, 2002). Lower asset turnover ratio reflects that firm is experiencing problems with respect to special category of asset such as inventory, receivables and fixed asset. 2013: (44445/ 46417) = 31.14 2012: (46417/139576) = 32.25 TOLL-FREE NO: +61 879057034 EMAIL: help@assignmentprime.com WHATSAPP NO: +61 450461655 WEBSITE: www.assignmentprime.com ASSIGNMENT WRITING HELP FOR AUSTRALIAN STUDENTS

  16. b) Inventory turnover ratio: It reflects the efficiency of the business to enhance its revenue. In 2013 the inventory turnover ratio of Vodafone is 67.78%. This reflects that company is incurring high storage cost. In 2012 the ratio of the company was 64.90% which was much better than the current year. From the interpretation it has been found that company is not able to convert its inventory into profitability as its management is not effective. This has affected the operations of the business greatly. Moreover it reflects that company is not able to manage its inventory in an effective manner. 2013: (30505/ 450) = 67.78 2012: (31546/ 486) = 64.90 Investment ratio: This ratio reflects the amount of investment made by the firm and return on investment of the business. High return on investment indicates that the firm has managed its operations in an effective manner (Romeo, Lee and Bao, 2010). Moreover it has adopted activities that help in lowering the cost of production thereby resulting in increasing the profitability of the firm in long run. This ratio reflects the amount of borrowing and equity with the company. a) Debt-equity ratio: This indicates the financial and liquidity ratio that compares the company's total debt with total equity. Ratio reflects the percentage of company's financing that comes from creditors as well as investors. Higher debt and equity ratio indicates that the company has made use of more creditors financing that is bank loan rather than investor financing that is shareholders. The debt equity ratio of the company in 2013 is .40 which was .36 in the year 2012 (Vodafone annual report, 2013). This reflects that debt equity ratio of Vodafone has increased which implies that liability of the firm from creditors has increased greatly. 2013: (29108/ 72488) = 40.15 2012: (28362/78202) = 36.26 TOLL-FREE NO: +61 879057034 EMAIL: help@assignmentprime.com WHATSAPP NO: +61 450461655 WEBSITE: www.assignmentprime.com ASSIGNMENT WRITING HELP FOR AUSTRALIAN STUDENTS
