Explanation / Answer

Answer 1. Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities Current Assets Cash          10,000 Short Term Investments            9,000 Accounts Receivables          33,600 Notes Receivable (Trade)            6,500 Merchandise Inventory          30,150 Prepaid Expenses            3,150 Total Current Assets          92,400 Current Liabilities Accounts Payable          17,500 Accrued Wages Payable            2,800 Income Tax Payable            3,700 Total Current Liabilities          24,000 Current Ratio = 92,400 / 24,000 Current Ratio = 3.85 : 1 Answer 2. Acid Test Ratio = Quick Assets / Current Liabilities Quick Assets = Total Current Assets - (Merchandise Inventory + Prepaid exp.) Quick Assets = 92,400 - (30,150 + 3,150) = $59,100 Acid Test Ratio = 59,100 / 24,000 Acid Test Ratio = 2.46 : 1 Answer 3. Days Sales Uncollected = 365 Days / Receivable Turnover Ratio Receivable Turnover Ratio = Net Credit Sales / Avg. Receivables Receivable Turnover Ratio = 448,600 / 33,600 = 13.35 times (Approx) Days Sales Uncollected = 365 Days / 13.35 = 27.34 Days Answer 4. Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Avg. Inventory Inventory Turnover = $296,850 / $30,150 = 9.85 Times (Approx.) Answer 5. Days Sales in Inventory = 365 / Inventory Turnover Ratio Days Sales in Inventory = 365 / 9.85 = 37.07 Days Answer 6. Debt-to-equity Ratio = Total debt / Equity Total debt = $65,400 (Long-term Notes Payables) + $24,000 (Current Liabilities) = $89,400 Equity = $86,000 (Common Stock) + $66,300 (Retained Earnings) = $152,300 Debt-to-equity Ratio = $89,400 / $152,300 = 0.59 Times (Approx.) Answer 7. Times Interest Earned = Earning before Interest & Tax / Interest Charges Times Interest Earned = $98,500 / $3,800 = 25.92 Times (Approx.) Answer 8. Profit Margin ratio = Net Income / Sales Profit Margin ratio = $29,530 / $448,600 = 6.58% (Approx.) Answer 9. Total Assets Turnover = Net Sales / Total Assets Total Assets Turnover = $448,600 / $241,700 = 1.86 times (Approx) Answer 10. Return on Total Assets = Net Profit After Taxes / Total Assets Return on Total Assets = $29,530 / $241,700 = 12.22% Answer 11. Return on Common Stockholders' Equity = (Net Profit After Tax - Pref. Div.) / Equity Return on Common Stockholders' Equity = ($29,530 - 0) / ($86,000 + $66,300) Return on Common Stockholders' Equity = 19.39% (Approx.)
