What will be an ideal response?


a.Working capital = Current assets - Current liabilities
= $463,000 - $226,000 = $237,000

b.Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities
= $463,000 ÷ $226,000 = 2.05 (rounded)

c.Acid-test (quick) ratio = Quick assets* ÷ Current liabilities
= $347,000 ÷ $226,000 = 1.54 (rounded)

*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 ÷ 
Interest expense
= $62,429 ÷ $11,000 = 5.68 (rounded)

e.Debt-to-equity ratio = Total liabilities ÷ Stockholders' equity
= $346,000 ÷ $975,000 = 0.35 (rounded)

f.Equity multiplier = Average total assets* ÷ Average stockholders' equity*
= $1,300,500 ÷ $957,500 = 1.36 (rounded)

*Average total assets = ($1,321,000 + $1,280,000) ÷ 2 = $1,300,500
**Average stockholders' equity = ($975,000 + $940,000) ÷ 2 = $957,500
