a. 0.55 b. 0.45 c. 0.82 d. 1.22

Explanation / Answer

1.
Total Debt / Assets = 0.55
or, Total Debt = 0.55*Assets

Hence, Equity = Liabilities - Total Debt
But, Assets = Liabilities,
Equity = Assets - 0.55*Assets = 0.45*Assets

Debt-Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Equity
= 0.55*Asset/0.45*Assets = 1.22


2.
Current Assets - Current Liabilities = Net Working Capital
or, Current Assets - 8580 = 4050
or, Current Assets = 8580 + 4050 = 12630

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilites
= 12630/8580 = 1.47

3.
Cash to Shareholders = Dividends - Increase in Equity
= 515000 - 712500 = -197500
