Exercise 9-6
a. Working capital before the transaction:
Current assets – Current liabilities
= $800,000 – $400,000 = $400,000
b. Current ratio before the transaction:
Current assets Current liabilities = $800,000 $400,000 = 2:1
Exercise 9-7
a. Working capital before the transaction:
$800,000 – $400,000 = $400,000
b. Current ratio before the transaction: $800,000 $400,000 = 2:1
Exercise 9-8
Working capital = Current assets – Current liabilities
= $300,000 – $200,000 = $100,000
Debt to assets ratio = Total liabilities ÷ Total assets
= $800,000 ÷ $1,250,000 = 64.0%
9-6
Exercise 9-9
a. Current assets = $432,000 – $294,000 = $138,000
$92,000 – $25,000 = $67,000.
b. Solved by simultaneous equations based on known information.
Liabilities: L Stockholders’ Equity: SE Common Stock: CS
L + SE = $432,000
c. Inventory: I Sales: S Cost of goods sold: COGS
Gross margin rate: GMR Gross margin: GM
I = COGS ÷ 10.5 = $735,000 ÷ 10.5 = $70,000
