Explanation / Answer

Answer a

Calculation of current ratio

Current Assets = Cash + Accounts receivable + Inventories + Prepaid insurance

= $58,000 +$42,000 + $48,000 + $18,000 = $166,000

Current Liabilities = Accounts payable + Interest payable + Note payable**

=$13,500 + $3,500 + $13,000 = $30,000

**Only current portion of Note payable ie installment due in next 12 months is to be consider as current liabilities = $130,000 / 10 = $13,000

Current ratio = Current Assets  / Current Liabilities = $166,000 / $30,000 = 5.53

Answer b

Calculation of acid-test ratio

= ( Cash + Accounts receivable ) / Current Liabilities = ($58,000 +$42,000) / $30,000 = 3.33

Answer c

Calculation of debt to equity ratio.

Total Debt = Accounts payable +  Interest payable + Note payable

= $13,500 + $3,500 + $130,000 = $147,000

Total Equity = Common stock + Retained earnings = $ 73,000 + $82,000 = $155,000

Debt to equity ratio = Debt / Equity = $147,000 /  $155,000 = 0.95
