Explanation / Answer

Answer 1.

Current Assets = Cash + Short-team Investments + Accounts Receivable, net + Notes Receivable (trade) + Merchandise Inventory + Prepaid Expenses
Current Assets = $12,000 + $9,200 + $33,400 + $3,000 + $34,150 + $2,650
Current Assets = $94,400

Current Liabilities = Accounts Payable + Accrued Wages Payable + Income Taxes Payable
Current Liabilities = $22,500 + $4,600 + $4,600
Current Liabilities = $31,700

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Current Ratio = $94,400 / $31,700
Current Ratio = 2.98

Answer 2.

Quick Ratio = Quick Assets / Current Liabilities
Quick Ratio = (Current Assets - Merchandise Inventory - Prepaid Expenses) / Current Liabilities
Quick Ratio = ($94,400 - $34,150 - $2,650) / $31,700
Quick Ratio = 1.82

Answer 3.

Days’ Sales Uncollected = Current Receivable / Sales * 365
Days’ Sales Uncollected = (Accounts Receivable, net + Notes Receivable (trade)) / Sales * 365
Days’ Sales Uncollected = ($33,400 + $3,000) / $452,600 * 365
Days’ Sales Uncollected = $36,400 / $452,600 * 365
Days’ Sales Uncollected = 29.35 days

Answer 4.

Average Inventory = (Inventory, Dec. 31, 2012 + Inventory, Dec. 31, 2013) / 2
Average Inventory = ($48,900 + $34,150) / 2
Average Inventory = $41,525

Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
Inventory Turnover = $298,050 / $41,525
Inventory Turnover = 7.18

Answer 5.

Days’ Sales in Inventory = 365 / Inventory Turnover
Days’ Sales in Inventory = 365 / 7.18
Days’ Sales in Inventory = 50.84 days
