Homework Answers

Answer #1

DSO = (Accounts Receivable/Total Sales) x 365

40 = (AR/1000) x 365

Accounts Receivable = $109.59

Quick Ration = (Cash & Cash Equivalents + Accounts Receivable)/Current Liabilities

2 = (100+109.59)/Current Liabilities

Current Liabilities = 104.795

Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities

3 = Current Assets/104.795

Current Assets = $314.39

Total Assets = Fixed Assets + Current Assets = 283.50+314.39 = $597.89

Return on Assets = (Net Income/Total Assets) x 100 = 8.36%

Return on Equity = Net Income/Common Equity

.12 = 50/Common Equity

Common Equity = $416.67

Long term debt = Total assets - (Common Equity+Current Liabilites) = $76.425
