(a) Cost of goods sold for 2017. (b) Net credit sales for 2017. (c) Net income for 2017. (d) Total assets at December 31, 2017.

Explanation / Answer

a) Inventory Turnover = Cost of goods sold/Average Inventory

Average Inventory = (Closing Inventory 2016+Closing Inventory 2017)/2

= ($181,000+$204,800)/2 = $385,800/2 = $192,900

Inventory Turnover = 4.1 times

4.1 = Cost of goods sold/$192,900

Cost of good sold = 4.1*$192,900 = $790,890

Therefore the cost of goods sold for 2017 is $790,890

b) Receivable Turnover = 11.8 times = Net Credit Sales/Average Accounts receivables

Average Accounts receivables = (Opening Receivables+Closing Receivables)/2

= ($126,400+$75,100)/2 = $201,500/2 = $100,750

11.8 times = Net credit Sales/$100,750

Net credit Sales for 2017 = 11.8*$100,750 = $1,188,850

Therefore the net credit sales for 2017 is $1,188,850.

c) Return on common stockholder's equity = (Net Income/Average Common stockholder's Equity)

  Average Common stockholder's Equity = (Opening + Closing)/2

= [($406,600+$101,900)+($406,600+$118,600)]/2

= $1,033,700/2 = $516,850

Return on common stockholder's equity = 18% or 0.18

0.18 = Net Income for 2017/$516,850

Net Income for 2017 = $516,850*0.18 = $93,033

d) Return on Assets = 18% = Net Income/Average Total Assets

Average Total Assets = Net Income/18% = $93,033/18% = $516,850

Average Total Assets = (Total Assets 2016+Total Assets 2017)/2

$516,850 = ($613,200+Total Assets 2017)/2

($516,850*2) - $613,200 = Total Assets 2017

Total Assets 2017 = $1,033,700 - $613,200 = $420,500
