Answer 1

Answer of Part 1:

Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities
Working Capital = $3,690,000 - $900,000
Working Capital = $2,790,000

Answer of Part 2:

Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
Current Ratio = $3,690,000 / $900,000
Current Ratio = 4.1:1

Answer of Part 3:

Quick Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories – Prepaid Expenses) / Current Liabilities
Quick Ratio = ($3,690,000 - $1,190,000 - $250,000) / $900,000
Quick Ratio = $2,250,000 / $900,000
Quick Ratio = 2.5:1

Answer of Part 4:

Average Accounts Receivable = (Beginning Accounts Receivable + Ending Accounts Receivable) /2
Average Accounts Receivable = ($510,000 + $740,000) /2
Average Accounts Receivable = $625,000

Accounts Receivable Turnover = Sales / Average Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable Turnover = $10,000,000 / $625,000
Accounts Receivable Turnover = 16 times

Answer of Part 5:

Days Sales in Receivable = 365 days / Accounts Receivable Turnover
Days Sales in Receivable = 365 / 16
Days Sales in Receivable = 22.8 days
