Question

1)

The 2007 and 2008 balance sheets for Alan Jack and Sons showed net accounts receivable of $10,000 and $14,000, respectively, and inventory of $8,000 and $6,000, respectively. Their 2008 income statement showed net sales of $109,500 and cost of goods sold of $70,000. Compute the following ratios for 2008:



1. Accounts receivable turnover.



2. Days' sales in receivables.



3. Inventory turnover.

2)

In addition to the information from above, assume that cash on the 2008 balance sheet was $20,000 and current liabilities totaled $24,000. Compute the following ratios for 2008:

1. Current ratio

2. Quick ratio

Explanation / Answer

Accounts Receivable turnover = Net sales / [(opening receivable+ closing received)/2]

                                                  = 109500/ [(10000+14000)/2]

                                                   = 9.125 times

Days sales in receivable = 365/ accounts receivable turnover

                                        = 365/ 9.125       = 40 days

3. Inventory Turnover = Cost of goods sold / [ (opening inventory+ closing inventory )/2]

                                    =70000/ [ (8000+6000)/2]

                                     = 10 times

Current ratio = Current asset/ current liablity

                    = cash+ accounts receivable + inventory/ current liabilty

                     = (20000+ 14000+6000)/ 24000 = 1.67 times

Quick ratio = Current assets - Inventory / current liabilities = 40000-6000/ 24000 = 1.42 times
