Given: Total current assets (CA), $14,000; accounts receivable (AR), $5,500; total cur- rent liabilities (CL), $9,000; inventory (Inv), $3,900; net sales, $36,500; total assets, $32,000; net income (NI), $8,000. Calculate:
a. Current ratio.
b. Acid test.
c. Average day’s collection.
d. Profit margin on sales (round to the nearest hundredth percent).
(a) Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities
Current assets = $14000, Current liabilities = $9000
Current ratio = $14000 / $9000 = 1.55
(b) Acid test ratio = Current assets – Inventories – Prepaid expenses / Current liabilities
Current assets = $14000, Current liabilities = $9000, Inventories = $3900
Acid test ratio = ($14000 - $3900) / $9000
Acid test ratio = $10100 / $9000 = 1.12
(c) For average day's collection, we need to calculate receivables turnover ratio as below:
Receivable turnover ratio = Sales / Accounts receivables
Sales = $36500, Accounts receivables = $5500
Putting these values in the receivable turnover ratio formula, we get,
Receivables turnover ratio = $36500 / $5500 = 6.64
Now, we will calculate Average day's collection as below:
Avearge day's collection = 365 / Accounts receivable turnover ratio
Receivable turnover ratio = 6.64 times ( as computed above)
Putting these values in the Avearge day's collection formula, we get,
Average day's collection = 365 / 6.64 = 54.97 days
(d) Profit margin on sales = Net income / Sales * 100
Net income = $8000, Sales = $36500
Net Profit margin = $8000 / $36500 * 100 = 21.92%
