Balance Sheet (This is a fictitious scenario - please make assumptions for any information you don't have). Required: 1.1) Calculate the firm's 2021 financial ratios. 1.2) Analyse and comment on the company's current financial position from both benchmark and time-series viewpoint. Break your analysis into an evaluation of the firm's liquidity, activity, debt and profitability.

Lathe A is a highly automated, computer-controlled lathe; lathe B is a less expensive lathe that uses standard technology. To analyse these alternatives, Mario Jackson, a financial analyst, prepared estimates of the initial investment and incremental (relevant) cash inflows associated with each lathe. These are shown in the following table. Note that Mario plans to analyse both lathes over a 5-year period. At the end of that time, the lathes would be sold, thus accounting for the large fifth year cash inflows. Mario feels the two lathes are equally risky and the acceptance of either of them will not change the company's overall risk. He, therefore, decided to apply the company's 13% cost of capital when analysing the lathes. Norwich Tool requires all projects to have a maximum payback period of 4.0 years. Required: 2a. Research the concept of Payback period and calculate the Payback period of both lathes. 2b.Perform a cost benefit analysis and advise Mario which lathe to acquire.
