Explanation:

Data given

Cash and cash equivalents $760 $77

Accounts receivables net $2,080 $1,890

Inventory $830 $810

Other current assets $440 $433

Total current assets $4,110 $3,210

Total current liabilities $2,100 $1,590

Net credit sales $8,258

Cost of goods sold $5,328

1. Current ratio = Current assets/Current liabilities

= 4,110/2,100

= 1.96

2. Accounts receivable turnover = Credit sales/Average accounts receivables

= 8,258÷ [(2,080+1,890)/2]

= 8,258 ÷ 1,985

= 4.16 times

3. Average collection period = Average accounts receivables/Credit sales × 365 days

= (1,985/8,258) × 365

= 87.7 days

4. Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/Average inventory

= 5,328/[830 + 810)/2]

= 5,328/820

= 6.5 times

5. Days in inventory = Average inventory/Cost of goods sold × 365

= (820/5,328) × 365

= 56.2 days
