Question

Trying to calculate current ratio which is liquid assets/current liability. Which of the below items would be included under each?

• 2011 Camry worth about $11,000, with a bank loan balance of $3,000
• 2012 Volvo S60 worth about $15,000, with a bank loan balance of $10,000
• An insurance policy on Jeff's life with a face value of $100,000 and no cash surrender value. Mary is the beneficiary listed on Jeff's policy.
• An insurance policy on Mary's life with a face value of $10,000 and no cash surrender value. Jeff is the beneficiary listed on Mary's policy.
• Credit card balances that total $3,500.
• A savings account with a $1,000 balance.
• Two mutual funds earmarked for the children's college education. The account for Paul has a balance of $10,000 and Marcy's has $11,000 as a current balance. The fund has averaged an 8% annual rate of return over its life.
• 100 shares of Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: stock symbol = AAPL), formerly Apple Computer, Inc. You need to value this stock and all the stocks they own based on the May 1, 2020 price per share. You will need to find that on the Internet.
• 200 shares of AT&T
• 50 shares of Microsoft
• 75 shares of Alphabet Inc.
• A checking account with a balance of $3,000.
• Jeff estimates that their furniture, fixtures etc. in the home are worth about $7,000.
• Jeff and Mary have retirement accounts that have a current market value of approximately $200,000.
• Mary still has an education loan with an outstanding balance of $15,000. It still has seven years left on it.
• A vacation loan of $750 due in 6 months and a home improvement loan of $2,000 due in 2 years (unsecured - not a home equity loan.)
• Jeff wants to finish the basement and he has discussed this at length with Mary. He is getting estimates from contractors based on ideas that both he and Mary have to create a play area for the children and a TV/den for the family. Jeff and Mary love to play ping pong and pool and would love to introduce the children to both "sports." He believes that the project will cost about $30,000 and he is interested in tapping into the home equity.
• Jeff is also an avid baseball fan and is looking at buying a membership to a local baseball/softball facility for both Paul and Marcy. He figures that since he doesn't have any expensive hobbies, it would be fun to get Paul started as a baseball player and Marcy as a softball player. The membership costs and related costs are as follows: $1,500 per year (covers both kids), equipment $500 per year, and team registration and travel costs will be about another $1,000 to $2,000 a year depending on how serious the kids become. Mary is not sure that this is a priority at this point and wants to explore this possibility in more detail.
