Balance sheet

Cash                 $100,000                Current Liabilities $320,000

Receivables     $300,000                 Long Term Debt     $80,000

Inventory         $400,000                 Total Debt             $400,000

Plant                $200,000                  Common Equity  $600,000

Total Assets $1,000,000                  Total Claims      $1,000,000

Explanation:

a) Total Debt to Total Assets 40 percent:

This means that Equity = 60% (100 - 40%)

If Equity is 60% = $600,000, total claims or assets will be equal to $600,000/60% = $1,000,000

Therefore, total debt = $400,000 (40% of $1,000,000)

b) Total Asset Turnover is 2:

If total assets = $1,000,000 and the total asset turnover is 2 or Turnover/Assets = 2, where total assets = $1,000,000,

Therefore, Turnover = $2,000,000 ($1,000,000 * 2)

c) Inventory Turnover is 5:

Inventory Turnover = Turnover/Inventory = 5

= $2,000,000/Inventory = 5

Inventory = $2,000,000/5 = $400,000

d) Average Collection Period is 54 days:

= Accounts Receivable/Sales x 365 = 54

Accounts Receivable = $2,000,000/365 * 54 = $296,000 or approximately $300,000

Current assets:

Cash = $100,000

Receivables $300,000

Inventory = $400,000

Total = $800,000

e) Current liabilities = Current assets/2.5

= $800,000/2.5

= $320,000

f) Plant = Total assets - current assets

= $1,000,000 - $800,000

= $200,000

g) Long term debt = Total debt - Current liabilities

= $400,000 - $320,000

= $80,000
