Regional Production Corporation (RPC) is applying for a loan to purchase new machinery for its factory. As the lender's credit analyst, you have determined that RPC's debt to equity ratio is sufficiently low to support additional debt, but to continue your investigation you are examining RPC's accumulated depreciation to fixed assets ratio. This ratio will allow you to examine the age of the assets and thus their remaining useful life as well as whether the company is generating sufficient cash to replace fixed assets on a timely basis. A low ratio generally means that the assets have plenty of life left in them and should be able to be used for years to come. A high ratio generally suggests the opposite. It's useful to track this metric over time to detect patterns and to compare it with industry norms. A quick Google search indicates the average ratio for RPC's industry is 30%. You have enlisted the assistance of your assistant to create a Tableau Dashboard depicting trends in depreciable assets, accumulated depreciation, and the accumulated depreciation to fixed assets ratio for the most recent six years for RPC. Accumulated Depreciation on Buildings & Equipment Accumulated Deprecia Buildings and Equipm. 2020 2021 2016 2017 2018 2019 $25,000, $20.000, $15.000, $10.000, $5.000.000 50 Accumulated Depreciation to Fixed Asset Ratio 50.0 50.0 AD to Fixed Asset Ratio 360 2010 TO OG 22 WO 2021 Required 1 Required 2 Required 3 Required 4 Which possible conclusion is not supported by the Dashboard concerning RPC's buildings and equipment during the most recent six years? Further investigation is warranted regarding RPC's ability to generate sufficient cash to replace fixed assets on Ja timely basis Increases in depreciation are commensurate with the growth in depreciable assets. The data suggests a pattern of low new capital investments relative to depreciation expense.
