A为什么不对

问题如下:

An analyst is analyzing two companies in the same industry and believes that they have similar strategies regarding the use of property, plant, and equipment (PP&E). He also thinks that the PP&E assets of the two companies are roughly of the same age and have the same expected useful lives remaining. Company A uses the LIFO method of inventory valuation, and Company B uses the FIFO method. The following additional information is available from the companies’ financial statements ($ millions):

In the analyst’s opinion, which of the following conclusions is most appropriate? Compared with Company A, Company B:

选项:

A.is more liquid.

B.has a higher quality of earnings.

C.uses more aggressive accounting estimates related to PP&E.

解释:

The analyst believes the two companies’ PP&E are of the same age; however, the useful life remaining for Company B’s assets is 15 years compared with 10 for Company A, implying B is using a longer useful life or more aggressive accounting policies.

The more aggressive PP&E estimates combined with the use of FIFO indicate that Company B has a lower quality of earnings, not higher. The adjusted current ratio for Company A (adjusted to include the LIFO reserve to convert the balance sheet to FIFO for comparison) is higher than the current ratio for B, indicating that A is more liquid.



为什么A不对呢 因为和financial reporting和earning reporting quality无关吗

同学你好,注意,A和B公司使用的存货计量方法不一样,A用的LIFO,B用的FIFO,所以要比较liquidity——本题就是比较current ratio大小,至少要把两个公司的inventory调到一样

请看以下以前年度的讲义截图黄色公式(这个公式了解即可,理论上不需要掌握),通过这个公式,本题A公司的current asset就需要增加一块,也就是A的current asset = 5800+1100 = 6900

A current ratio = 6900/4300 = 1.60 B current ratio = 6200/4200 = 1.48 A公司的current ratio实际是大于B公司的,所以A选项说反了
