Answer 1

Ans 1. Under Horizontal Analysis we compares two or more years of a company's financial statements.

So in this case option C is correct that is Horizontal Analysis is correct.

Ans 5. In general financial ratios are used to calculate solvency test of an organization and to test profitabilty of an organization and also to check the liquidity of an organization

So in this case all are correct, so option D is correct in this case.

Ans 6. Company Quick ratio = Current Assets/Current liabilties

Quick Ratio = ($5000 + $11150 + $15000 + $1800) / ($4310 + $10030) = 2.30 approx

So correct option is B that is 2.30

Ans 7. Accounts receivable turnover ratio(ARTR) = Net Credit Sales / Average accounts receivables

Average accounts receivables = opening receivables + closing receivables / 2

Average receivables = $15000 + $9000 / 2 = $12,000  

Accounts receivables turnover ratio = $300,000 / $12,000 = 25 times

Hence option C is correct
