某企业去年的销售净利率为5.73%，资产周转率为2.17；今年的销售净利率为4.88%，资产周转率为2.88。若两年的资产负债率相同，今年的权益净利率比去年的变化趋势为（）。

A.下降

B.不变

C.上升

D.难以确定

【答案】C

【解析】权益净利率=销售净利率×资产周转率×权益乘数

去年的权益净利率=5.73%×2.17×A=12.43%×A

今年的权益净利率=4.88%×2.88×A=14.05%×A

因此，权益净利率今年比去年呈上升趋势。

ABC公司是一个有较多未分配利润的工业企业。下面是上年度发生的几笔经济业务，在这些业务发生前后，速动资产都超过了流动负债。请回答下列问题。

（1）长期债券投资提前变卖为现金，将会（）。

A.对流动比率的影响大于对速动比率的影响

B.对速动比率的影响大于对流动比率的影响

C.影响速动比率但不影响流动比率

D.影响流动比率但不影响速动比率

长期债券投资提前变现，使现金增加，流动负债不变，因此会影响流动比率和速动比率，可将C、D排除。现金是速动资产项目，其变化会引起流动资产和速动资产增长相同数额，由于流动比率大于速动比率，因此当二者计算公式的分子增加相同数额时，速动比率变化幅度要大，应当选择B.

例如,原来的流动资产为500万元，速动资产为400万元，流动负债为200万元，则原来的流动比率为500÷200*100%＝250%，速动比率为400÷200*100%＝200%，现在把100

万元的长期债券投资变为现金，则流动比率变为：（500＋100）÷200*100%＝300%，增加（300%－250%）÷250%＝20%，速动比率变为：（400＋100）÷200*100%＝250%，增加（250%－200%）÷200%＝25%，显然，25%大于20%。

2）赊购原材料若干，将会（）。

A.增大流动比率

B.降低流动比率

C.降低营运资本

D.增大营运资本

赊购原材料使流动资产和流动负债等额增加，所以营运资本不变，则应排除C、D，又因为，已知业务发生前后，速动资产都超过了流动负债，即流动比率大于100%，因此，流动比率分子、分母同时增加相同金额，流动比率会降低，所以应排除A，即应该选择B。

由杜邦财务分析体系可知，权益净利率等于资产净利率乘以权益乘数。因此，企业的负债程度越高，权益净利率就越大。（错）

本题的主要考核点是杜邦财务分析体系。由杜邦财务分析体系可知，权益净利率等于资产净利率乘以权益乘数。因此，在资产净利率不变的前提下，权益净利率与权益乘数呈同向变化。该题的错误在于缺少资产净利率是否发生变化的假设，因为如果资产净利率下降的幅度大于权益乘数提高的幅度，尽管企业的负债程度提高，但权益净利率可能保持不变或变大。

【例9：2009年计算题（旧）】B公司目前生产一种产品，该产品的适销期预计还有6年，公司计划6年后停产该产品。生产该产品的设备已使用5年，比较陈旧，运行成本（人工费、维修费和能源消耗等）和残次品率较高。目前市场上出现了一种新设备，其生产能力、生产产品的质量与现有设备相同。设置虽然购置成本较高，但运行成本较低，并且可以减少存货占用资金、降低残次品率。除此以外的其他方面，新设备与旧设备没有显著差别。

旧政策与税法有关规定相同。

（1）计算B公司继续使用旧设备的相关现金流出总现值（计算过程及结果填入答题卷第4页给定的表格内）。

（2）计算B公司更换新设备方案的相关现金流出总现值（计算过程及结果填入答题卷第5页给定的表格内）。

（3）计算两个方案的净差额，并判断应否实施更新设备的方案。

【答案及解析】两个方案的相关现金流出总现值的净差额＝新－旧＝475070.48－430562.95＝44507.53（元）应该继续使用旧设备，而不应该更新。

决策树

（1）J公司拟开发一种新的高科技产品，项目投资成本为90万元。

（2）预期项目可以产生平均每年l0万元的永续现金流量。该产品的市场有较大不确定性。如果消费需求量较大，预计经营现金流量为12.5万元；如果消费需求量较小，预计经营现金流量为8万元。

（3）如果延期执行该项目，一年后则可以判断市场对该产品的需求量，届时必须做出放弃或立即执行的决策。

（4）假设等风险投资要求的最低报酬率为l0％，无风险报酬率为5％。

要求：

（1）计算不考虑期权的项目净现值。

（2）采用二叉树方法计算延迟决策的期权价值（列出计算过程，将结果填列在答题卷第15页给定的“期权价值计算表"中），并判断应否延迟执行该项目。（1）净现值＝10/10％－90＝10（万元）

1.构建现金流量和项目期末价值二叉树

上行项目价值＝12.5/10％＝125（万元）

下行项目价值＝8/10％＝80（万元）

2.期权价值二叉树

（1）确定第1年末期权价值

现金流量上行时期权价值＝125－90＝35（万元）

现金流量下行时项目价值80万元，低于投资额90万元，应当放弃，期权价值为零。

（2）根据风险中性原理计算上行概率

报酬率＝（本年现金流量+期末价值）/年初投资－1

上行报酬率＝（12.5+125）/90－1＝52.78％

下行报酬率＝（8+80）/90－1＝－2.22％

无风险利率5％＝上行概率×52.78％+（1-上行概率）×（-2.22％）

上行概率＝0.1313

（3）计算期权价值：

期权到期日价值＝0.1313×35+（1-031313）×0＝4.60（万元）

期权现值＝4.60/1.05＝4.38（万元）

（4）如果立即进行该项目，可以得到净现值10万元，相当于立即执行期权。如果等待，期权的价值为4.38万元，小于立即执行的收益（10万元），因此应当立即进行该项目，无须等待。
