Explanation / Answer

Avg Receivables= Beginning receivables + Ending Receivables /2
                              =$350+$340/2

                                =$690/2

                                =$345

Avg Inventory= Beginning Inventory + Ending Inventory /2

                            =$220+$220/2

                                =$440/2

                                =$22

a.Working Capital= Current Assets- Current Liabilities

                              =$968-$528

                                =$440

b.Current Ratio= Current Assets/ Current Liabilities

                        =$968/$528

                          =1.83

c.Acid test ratio= [Current assets-( Inventory- Pre paid expenses)]/Current liabilities

                            =[$968-($220-$68)/$528

                                =$680/$528

                                =1.29
d.Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Credit Sales/(Avg Receivables)

                                                                 =$1,520/$345

                                                                       =4.41

e.Average Collection period=365/ Accounts receivable turnover ratio=365/4.41=82.85 days

f.Inventory Turnover= Cost Goods Sold/Avg Inventory=$930/$220=4.23
