Compute the long-term liabilities for Bronco:
A) Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Current Ratio = 4
4 = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Current Assets = 4 * Current Liabilities
Current Assets = 4 Current Liabilities
This means that Current Assets is 4 Times of Current Liabilities
Acid Test Ratio = Quick Assets / Current Liabilities
Acid Test Ratio = 2.4 : 1
Current Assets = 4 Current Liabilities
Inventories = $ 160,000
Quick Assets = Current Assets - Inventories
Acid Test Ratio = 4 Current Liabilities - 160,000 / Current Liabilities
2.4 * Current Liabilities = 4 Current Liabilities - 160,000
160,000 = 4 Current Liabilities - 2.4 Current Liabilities
160,000 = 1.6 Current Liabilities
Current Liabilities = 160,000 / 1.6
Current Liabilities = $ 100,000
B) Debt Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Total Equity
Debt Equity Ratio = 1.5
Debt Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Total Equity
1.5 = Total Debt / Total Equity
Total Debt = 1.5 Total Equity
Total Debt + Total Equity = Total Assets
Total Debt + Total Equity = 17,90,000
1.5 Total Equity + 1 Total Equity = 17,90,000
2.5 Total Equity = 17,90,000
Total Equity = 17,90,000 / 2.5
Total Equity = $ 716,000
Total Debt = 716,000 * 1.5 Times
Total Debt = $ 10,74,000
C ) Long Term Liabilities = Total Debt - Current Liabilities
Long Term Liabilities = 10,74,000 - 100,000
Long Term Liabilities for Bronco Electronics = $ 974,000
Total Debt in the formula of Debt Equity Ratio means Total Liabilities as well.
Current Liabilities is already calculated above.
