CHAPTER 2: ANALYSIS OF THE FINANCIAL SITUATION

OF BIBICA COMPANY 2.1.

In addition to analyzing financial figures over time, presenting the balance sheetand income statement as a percentage provides a wealth of useful information to the

analyst The percentage number can be placed in relation to a total, such as total assets

or total sales, or relative to the base year Although part of the financial picture has

been formed from the analysis of financial parameters, these trends can be better

understood by expanding the analysis of omissions In addition, these two new

analytical methods are particularly useful when comparing companies of different

sizes because each item in the financial statements is placed on a relative or standard

basis

Block analysis and method of representing balance sheet items as a percentage

of total assets and income statement items as a percentage of sales Expressing

financial statement items as a percentage of totals helps analysts see structural trends

Block analysis for balance sheets will give you a very clear picture of changes in asset

structure and capital structure

Index analysis is a method of analyzing financial statements in such a way thatmanagers compare the items in the statements to historical values Analysts can use

this method to compare trends over time for each item in a report

2.2 Parameter analysis

2.3 Solvency

The financial position of the enterprise is shown quite clearly through theindicators of solvency The solvency parameter measures a business's ability to use

rapidly converting cash assets to meet its short-term financial obligations With that in

mind, we compare short-term debt obligations with the short-term resources available

to meet these obligations At the same time, we also consider the correlation between

low-yielding fixed assets that can be converted into cash quickly on the one hand and

low-cost liabilities that the borrower must regularly use on the other deal with the

payment of due debts This parameter group includes 6 indicators as follows:

Table 2 3: Bibica's solvency parameter

Inventory Cost of goods sold

40.96 51.06 40.00 89.11 104.05 conversion cycle Inventory turnover

One of the most common and used metrics to measure solvency is the current

solvency parameter This parameter indicates a company's ability to meet its

short-term debt obligations This parameter emphasizes the ability of short-short-term assets to be

converted into cash in relation to short-term liabilities Looking at Table 2.3, we see

that the current solvency parameters of Bibica Joint Stock Company in the last 3 years

are not stable In 2019 from 1.54 increased to 1.67 in 2020, by 2021, it decreased to

1.11 In 2019, the company's current ratio is 1.54 which means that if the company has

1 dong of short-term debt, the company will have 1.54 dong of short-term assets to

finance that one short-term debt and by 2020 it will increase 1.67 dong This

parameter over 3 years is greater than 1, this period shows the company's high debt

repayment ability

Usually, a higher current ratio gives the impression of a greater ability to repay,

but this parameter does not take into account the transferability of each asset in the

Current Assets group Therefore, we turn to another more rigorous tool to check the

company's solvency, which is the quick ratio

This parameter focuses mainly on assets that are more convertible to cash such as

cash, negotiable securities and trade receivables From Table 2.3, we can see that

Bibica's quick solvency fluctuates over the years From 1.32 in 2019 increased to 1.37

in 2020, by 2021, it decreased to only 0.95 In 2019, one dong of the company's

short-term debt is being secured by 1.32 dong of short-short-term assets after deducting inventory

Or it can be said that for every VND of short-term debt, there will be VND 1.32 of

highly convertible assets to finance This number increased the following year with an

index of 1.37

14

Continue with the accounts receivable turnover parameter Bibica's receivables

turnover ratio in the last 3 years has fluctuated Specifically, the number of times

customer receivables were converted into cash in 2019 was 9.86, decreased to 3.50 in

2020 and increased sharply to 10.49 in 2021

For the average collection period parameter, it shows the number of days sales

remain in receivables until it is collected and converted to cash This parameter of

Bibica in the last 3 years has fluctuated strongly In 2019 it is 36.51 increasing to

102.86 in 2020, in 2021 this index will decrease to 34.32

To understand the effectiveness of the company's inventory management, we

consider the inventory turnover parameter Bibica's inventory turnover number

fluctuates from 2019 to 2021 Specifically, in 2019 the inventory turnover is 8.79

rounds, in 2020 it will decrease to 7.05 rounds and in 2021 it will increase to 9.00

rounds This parameter shows the number of times the inventory converted into

receivables through sales activities of Bibica during the year decreased year by year

Compared to the industry average, Bibica's receivable turnover is higher This

comparison shows that the company's inventory management in 2021 is more effective

than in previous years and Bibica is maintaining inventory better than its peers

For the inventory conversion cycle, this parameter shows how many days the

company's inventory holdings increase or decrease each year Looking at Table 2.3,

we see that there is not much difference In 2019 from 40.96 days increased to 51.06

days in 2020, and in 2021 decreased to 40.00 days The daily trend reflects the

increasing length of inventory holding times, with the company having to store

inventory within 40 days This negatively affects cash flow and reduces the liquidity

2.5 Debt-to-equity ratio

This indicator reflects the level of use of debt capital of the company This

parameter also shows how many coins of financing are provided by creditors for each

dollar provided by shareholders Or how many dong of capital guarantees a loan,

The formula for calculating the debt-to-equity ratio:

Debt to Equity (RD/E) = Total Debt / Total Equity

Figure 2 1: Debt-to-equity parameters of Bibica 2019 – 2021

Looking at figure 2.1, we see that Bibica's debt-to-equity (RD/E) ratio has

increased and decreased over the years and remained at less than 1 Normally, if this

ratio is less than 1, the company's assets The company is financed mainly by equity,

whereas the company's assets are financed mainly by debt Specifically:
