revenue has changed by less than 2%

NO.PZ2023040501000140

问题如下:

Spaulding extracted selected financial information for Aeolus from its financial statements and annual report. The information is presented in Exhibits 2.


Spaulding tells Tomlinson that she believes the quality of earnings has deteriorated and that the recent increase in profitability is the result of earnings management. In support, she presents several ratios in Exhibit 3.


From her analysis of Exhibits 2 and 3, which of the following would most likely have led Spaulding to be concerned about low quality earnings? The company’s:

选项:

A.

change in depreciation methods.

B.

change in receivables to revenue ratio.

C.

treatment of restructuring charges.

解释:

Normally, the ratio of the change in receivables to revenue should remain fairly stable, particularly in this case where revenues have changed by less than 2%. An increase in this ratio means that a smaller percentage of sales has been collected . This may arise due to a decrease in the customer's ability to pay and/or channel stuffing, or even fictitious sales.

请问哪里可以看到或计算出这个信息?

同学你好,解析这句话“Normally, the ratio of the change in receivables to revenue should remain fairly stable, particularly in this case where revenues have changed by less than 2%. ”——是在说一个实操中的经验(相当于一个知识点一个结论),而不是题目信息给出的内容哦

这句话是说,如果公司的revenue的变化量小于2%的时候,公司的应收账款周转率应该就会看起来很稳定,不太会发生变化,也就是一般来说公司的AR ratio是稳定不变的才对——所以由这个经验来看,现在公司的AR ratio变高了,就说明公司可能虚增收入导致AR偏高了,否则和这个ratio应该是不变的才对
