C. State true or false with reasons.

Question 1.
Financial statements include only the Balance Sheet.
Answer:

This statement is False.
Financial statements include Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss A/c. This is because financial statements are prepared by business organisations to find out the efficiency, solvency, profitability, growth, strength, and status of the business. For this, they need information from the balance sheet as well as from Profit and Loss A/c.

Question 2.
Analysis of financial statements is a tool but not a remedy.
Answer:

This statement is True.
Based on analysis of the financial statement one can get an idea of the financial strength and weakness of the business. However, based on this one cannot take decisions about the business on various issues. Hence analysis of financial statements is a tool but not a remedy.

Question 3.
Purchase of fixed assets is operating cash flow.
Answer:

This statement is False.
Purchase of fixed assets is cash flow from investing activities. It is not a day-to-day operations activity like office/selling/distribution finance expenses/activities.

Question 4.
Dividend paid is not a source of funds.
Answer:

This statement is True.
The dividend is always paid on shares issued by a company as an expense. Shares itself is a source of funds. In payment of dividends, cash goes out from the company. It is an outflow of cash and not a source of funds.

Question 5.
Gross profit depends upon net sales.
Answer:

This statement is True.
The gross profit ratio discloses the relation between gross profit and total net sales. The gross profit ratio is an income-based ratio, where gross profit is an income. There is a direct relation between net sales and gross profit. Higher the net sales higher the gross profit.

Question 6.
Payment of cash against the purchase of stock is the use of funds.
Answer:

This statement is True.
Cash payment for the purchase of stock is made from cash balance or/and from bank balance which is a part of the business fund. When stock or materials we purchase we use cash for payment.

Question 7.
Ratio Analysis is useful for inter-firm comparison.
Answer:

This statement is True.
The comparison of the operating performance of a business entity with the other business entities is known as an inter-firm comparison. This ratio analysis assists to know-how and to what extent a business entity is strong or weak as compared to other business entities.

Question 8.
The short-term deposits are considered as cash equivalent.
Answer:

This statement is True.
The short-term deposits are liquid assets. It means deposits are kept for some period (usually less than one year) and they are kept with an intention to get money quickly as and when required.
They are as good as cash and considered as cash equivalent.

Question 9.
Activity ratios and Turnover ratios are the same.
Answer:

This statement is True.
Turnover ratio is an efficiency ratio to check how efficiently a company is using different assets to extract earnings from them.
Activity ratios are financial analysis tools used to measure a business’s ability to convert its assets into cash. From both these definitions, we can say that Activity ratios and Turnover ratios are the same.

Question 10.
The current ratio measures the liquidity of the business.
Answer:

This statement is True.
The current ratio shows the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. If the proportion of current assets is higher than current liabilities, the liquidity position of the business entity is considered good. More liquidity means more short-term solvency. From the above, it is proved that the current ratio measures the liquidity of the business.

Question 11.
Ratio analysis measures profitability efficiency and financial soundness of the business.
Answer:

This statement is True.
With the help of profitability ratios (Gross profit, Net profit, and Operating profit) one can get the idea of profitability efficiency of the firm, and with the help of liquidity ratios (Current ratio and liquid ratio) one can get the idea of solvency or financial soundness of the business.

Question 12.
Usually, the current ratio should be 3 : 1.
Answer:

This statement is False.
Usually, the current ratio should be 2 : 1. It means current assets are double of current liabilities. It shows the short-term solvency of business enterprises.
