In order to make a meaningful comparison of the performance of Woodbank Co d March 20X4 with its performance during the year to 31 March 20X3, it is necessary to i acquisition and consider how Woodbank Co's performance would have looked without S Shaw Co has contributed positively to profitability with both the gross profit margin and and tax margin both being higher after the acquisition. However, the $50 million of loa the acquisition have increased capital employed and so exerted a downward pull on RO is 12%. Without Shaw Co it would have been 13%. This is likely to be due to only three Co being included in operating profit. If 12 months' profits were used, we could expect correspondingly higher. The current ratio of Woodbank Co has fallen from 1.7 to 1.08. This is a steep drop. We cash reserves have declined by $4.5 million, which is likely to be due to using cash res acquisition of Shaw Co. Trade payables have increased by $8 million. This suggests tha trouble paying its suppliers on time or that Shaw had a large amount of trade payables consolidated within the group. The retained earnings balance shows that Woodbank Co million during 20X4. This was perhaps unwise when working capital was needed to fina the additional loan interest. Had the dividend not bene paid the current ratio for 20X4 w from 20X3, but less alarming. Gearing has risen from 5.3% to 36.7%, attributable to an additional $50 million loan no acquisition of Shaw Co. The interest payments each year will be $5.5 million which is th the dividend paid 20X4. Shareholders may expect to receive less in future years as the take priority, but had the acquisition been funded by a share issue their returns would Gearing of 36.7% is still within acceptable limits and future good returns from the acqu retained earnings and keep gearing in check. Woodbank Co's performance would have been broadly comparable to the previous yea taken place. The acquisition of Shaw Co has had a detrimental effect on liquidity and g appears from three months' results to have the capacity to significantly increase profit seems likely that over a longer period this will also improve liquidity and gearing, givin result for shareholders.
