Mandesa, Inc., has current liabilities of $9,800,000, current ratio of 2.0 times, inventory turnover of 12 times, average collection period of 30 days, and credit sales of $63,999,992.

Cash and marketable securities

$

Answer 1

Days of receivables = 365 / receivables turnover

30 = 365 / receivables turnover

receivables turnover = 12.17

Receivables turnover = credit sales / receivables

12.17 = 63,999,992 / receivables

receivables = 5,258,832.539

inventory turnover = Sales / inventory

12 = 63,999,992 / inventory

inventory = 5,333,332.667

Current assets = Current ratio * current liability

Current assets = 2 * 9,800,000

Current assets = 19,600,000

Cash and marketable securities = 19,600,000 - 5,333,332.667 -  5,258,832.539

Cash and marketable securities = $9,007,834.79
