CanGo Analysis Financial Analysis of CanGo

CanGo does not appear to be especially efficient given the two efficiency measures appearing here. With both the Receivables Turnover and the Inventory Turnover, higher ratios indicate better efficiency -- the company is able to collect on accounts and turnover inventory faster (Spiceland et al., 2009). In the case of the former, CanGo's ratio of 1.56 is very low, suggesting that it takes almost two-thirds of a year to actually collect on accounts receivable, which would give the company far less cash flow from operations during the period than would be desirable (Helfert, 2001). Even if the company is making money, that is, it is collecting so slowly that it could still face problems (Bragg, 2007). The latter ratio demonstrates a problem in actually moving product, or perhaps in over-inventorying; if the company cannot boost sales to improve this ratio, it should...

This will have the effect of making borrowing cheaper, all else being equal, and depending on other factors is generally desirable (Helfert, 2001).
