Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Acid-Test Ratio = (Cash + Accounts Receivables)/ Current Liabilities

= (19,000 + 210,000)/ 270,000

= 229,000/ 270,000

= 0.85

Times interest earned ratio = Earnings before interest and income taxes/ Interest expense

= 1,210,000/ 46,800

= 25.85

Average collection period = 365 days/ Accounts receivable turnover

Accounts receivable turnover = Sales on account/ Average accounts receivable

= 3,080,000/ [(210,000 + 230,000)/2]

= 3,080,000/ 220,000

= 14

Average collection period = 365 days/ 14

= 26.1 days

Average sale period = 365 days/ Inventory turnover

Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/ Average inventory

= 1,260,000/ [(360,000 + 270,000)/2]

= 1,260,000/ 315,000

= 4

Average sale period = 365 days/ 4

= 91.3 days

Operating cycle = Average collection period + Average sale period

= 26.1 + 91.3

= 117.3 days
