Answer 1

1. Working Capital:

Working Capital for 20Y2 is $1,584,000. It is calculated by deducting the current liabilities from current assets.

2. Current Ratio:

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities

= $2,464,000 / $880,000

= 2.8 times

Current Assets of the company are 2.8 times the current liabilities.

3. Quick Ratio:

Quick Ratio = Liquid Assets / Current Liabilities

Liquid Assets = Cash + Marketable Securities + Accounts Receivable

Quick Ratio = ($1,050,000 + $301,000 + $585,000) / $880,000

= $1,936,000 / $880,000

= 2.2

Quick Ratio is 2.2, that is the company is having liquid assets at 2.2 times its current liabilities.

4. Accounts Receivable Turnover:

Accounts Receivable Turnover = Net Credit Sales / Average Net Receivables

Net Credit Sales for 20Y2 be $10,850,000

Average Net Accounts Receivable = (Accounts Receivables 20Y1 + Accounts Receeivables 20Y2)/2

= ($500,000 + $585,000)/2

= $542,500

Accounts Receivable Turnover = $10,850,000 / $542,500

= 20 times.

This implies that accounts receivable can be collected 20 times in the cycle.
