What will be an ideal response?
a. | Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities |
b. | Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities |
c. | Acid-test (quick) ratio = Quick assets* ÷ Current liabilities |
*Quick assets = Cash + Marketable securities + Current receivables
= $216,000 + $0 + $131,000 = $347,000
d. | Times interest earned ratio = Earnings before interest expense and income taxes ÷ |
= $62,429 ÷ $11,000 = 5.68 (rounded)
e. | Debt-to-equity ratio = Total liabilities ÷ Stockholders' equity |
f. | Equity multiplier = Average total assets* ÷ Average stockholders' equity* |
*Average total assets = ($1,321,000 + $1,280,000) ÷ 2 = $1,300,500
**Average stockholders' equity = ($975,000 + $940,000) ÷ 2 = $957,500
