If $4,000 of the Accounts Payable were paid using cash, what would be the Debt-to-Equity Ratio taking into account the payment of the Accounts Payable?
(Round to the nearest 3rd decimal place in your answer format)
Step 1: Calculate the amount of Total Equity
Assets |
||
Cash |
$ 5,000.00 |
|
Accounts receivables |
$ 1,000.00 |
|
Supplies |
$ 7,000.00 |
|
Building & Land |
$ 13,000.00 |
|
A |
Total Assets |
$ 26,000.00 |
Liabilities |
||
Accounts Payable |
$ 5,000.00 |
|
Bonds Payable, net of discount |
$ 5,000.00 |
|
B |
Total Liabilities |
$ 10,000.00 |
C = A - B |
Total Equity (including Retained Earnings) |
$ 16,000.00 |
Step 2: Calculate updated balance after payment of $ 4000 accounts payables
Accounts Payable |
$ 1,000.00 |
|
Bonds Payable, net of discount |
$ 5,000.00 |
|
A |
Total Liabilities |
$ 6,000.00 |
B [already calculated in Step 1] |
Total Equity |
$ 16,000.00 |
A |
Total Debts = Total Liabilities |
$ 6,000.00 |
B |
Total Equity |
$ 16,000.00 |
C = A/B |
Debt to Equity ratio |
0.375 times = ANSWER |
Answer = 0.375 times = Debt to Equity Ratio
