Explanation / Answer

($502,500 + $34,000) / ($670,000 + $34,000)  =

$536,500 / $704,000

($502,500 - $71,000) / ($670,000 - $71,000)  =

$431,500 / $599,000

($502,500 + $135,000 ) / $670,000 = $637,500 / $670,000

New Debt - Assets Ratio Sl. No Particulars Increase or Decrease Working Debt-to-assets ratio 1 Purchaed 34,000 of new inventory on credit Increase

($502,500 + $34,000) / ($670,000 + $34,000)  =

$536,500 / $704,000

0.76 2 Paid accounts payable in the amount of 71,000 Decrease

($502,500 - $71,000) / ($670,000 - $71,000)  =

$431,500 / $599,000

0.72 3 Recorded accrued salaries in the amount of 135,000 Increase

($502,500 + $135,000 ) / $670,000 = $637,500 / $670,000

0.95 4 orrowed 285,000 from the bank to be paid in 90 days Increase ($502,500 + $285,000) / ($670,000 + $285,000)  = $787,500 / $955,000 0.82
