commenced operations on #8478


Kenmare Architects Ltd. (KAL) was incorporated and commenced operations on January 1,
2014. Sheila Kenmare, the company's only employee, consults with various clients and uses
expensive equipment to complete her work.When the company was formed, Sheila bought
10,000 common shares but at the beginning of 2015, another 1,000 common shares were sold
to Sheila's mother.In addition to selling shares, KAL received financing from Sheila's Uncle
Harry in the form of a loan that was taken out on January 1, 2014. Her uncle required the
company to pay only the interest on the loan and no principal in 2014, which KAL did. However,
he wanted both interest and a portion of the principal to be paid during 2015. These payments
were made evenly throughout 2015. Harry was surprised when Sheila paid down more of the
loan balance in 2015 than he asked her to.The following shows the financial statements of the
company for the past two years:Instructions(a) When the company was formed, how much did
Sheila pay for her shares? How much did her mother pay for her shares?(b) At the end of 2014,
what portion of the loan did Uncle Harry want paid off in 2015? How much of the loan was
actually paid off in 2015? What was the total amount of cash received by Harry in 2014 and
2015?(c) Calculate the current ratio for each year. Has the company's liquidity improved?(d)
Calculate the debt to total assets ratio for each year. Did the company's solvency improve?
What effect did the change in this ratio have on the income statement?(e) Calculate the
earnings per share of the company for each year. Why do you think that the earnings per share
changed in 2015?(f) Assume that the price Sheila paid for her shares was the share price
throughout 2014. Using that price, determine the value of the price-earnings ratio for that year.
Assume that the price Sheila's mother paid for her shares was the share price throughout 2015.
Using that price, determine the price-earnings ratio for 2015. Why do you think the value of this
ratio changed? Do you think that the share price change was justified?(g) What was the major
reason for the company to sell shares in 2015?View Solution:
