Answer 1

For 2016

a. Total current assets = $2,600,400

Total current liabilities = $3,156,000
working capital = Total current assets- Total current liabilities

= 2,600,400-3,156,000

= -$555,600

b.

Current ratio = Total current assets/ Total current liabilities

= 2,600,400/3,156,000
= 0.82

c.

Acid test ratio = ( Cash + Accounts receivable)/Current liabilities

= (397,000+1,089,000)/3,156,000
= 1,486,000/3,156,000

= 0.47

d.

Average accounts receivable = (Beginning accounts receivable+ Ending accounts receivable)/2

= (776,400+1,089,000)/2

= $932,700

Accounts receivable turnover = Sales / Average accounts receivable

= 10,177,300/932,700

= 10.91

a.	Working capital		-$555,600
b.	Current ratio		0.82
c.	Acid-test ratio		0.47
d.	Accounts receivable turnover		10.91	times
