b. A current ratio of 0.5.
f. A debt capital ratio of 0.7 when the industry average is 0.15
e. A fixed asset ratio of 0.6 when the industry average is 1.1
Explanation:
A return on the asset ration may be a profitable ratio that indicates the efficiency of the usage of the assets in any business. When the ratio is higher it is better. A lower ratio shows the financial weakness of a firm for utilizing the assets.
A 0.7 debt ratio that is higher than the industry average represents a higher leverage and the higher solvency risk.
The 0.6 fixed asset ratio shows a lower utilization of the fixed assets in the generation of the turnover. Hence, it shows a financial weakness.
Current ratio represents the coverage of the current assets for the meeting of a short term obligations. The ratio is desired to be 2.
Ratio of 0.5 shows a current asset that is not sufficient for meeting the current liabilities.

Answer:
A. $3,560
B. $3,430
C. $4,120
D. $3,730
Explanation:
A. Calculation for the deposits in transit at July 31
July 1 Deposit in transit=$18,550 - ($15,720 - $730)
July 1 Deposit in transit=$18,550-$14,990
July 1 Deposit in transit= $3,560
Therefore the deposits in transit at July 31 were $3,560
B. Calculation for the outstanding checks at July 31
July 31 Outstanding checks=$18,540 - ($16,020 - $910)
July 31 Outstanding checks=$18,540-$15,110
July 31 Outstanding checks= $3,430
Therefore the outstanding checks at July 31 were $3,430
C. Calculation for the deposits in transit at August 31
August 31 Deposits in transit=$27,280 - $26,010 + $2,850
August 31 Deposits in transit= $4,120
Therefore the deposits in transit at August 31 were $4,120
D. Calculation for the outstanding checks at August 31
August 31 Outstanding checks=$24,460 - $23,110 + $2,380
August 31 Outstanding checks= $3,730
Therefore the outstanding checks at August 31 were $3,730

What is the quick ratio for 2017?
Answer:
0.82
Explanation:
Quick ratio is computed as
= Quick assets / Current liabilities
Quick assets = cash and cash equivalents + marketable securities + Account receivables
Current liabilities = Bills payable + Accounts payable + Other short term payable
With regards to the above,
Quick assets given = Cash and accounts receivables ; account payables only for current liabilities
Quick ratio = $240 + $860 / $1,335
Quick ratio = $1,100 / $1,335
Quick ratio = 0.82
So, quick ratio for 2017 is 0.82

Ivanhoe Corp. has a deferred tax asset account with a balance of $72,800 at the end of 2019 due to a single cumulative temporary difference of $364,000. At the end of 2020, this same temporary difference has increased to a cumulative amount of $416,000. Taxable income for 2020 is $762,000. The tax rate is 20% for all years. No valuation account related to the deferred tax asset is in existence at the end of 2019.
Required:
a. Record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2020, assuming that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized.
b. Record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2017, assuming that it is more likely than not that none of the deferred tax asset will be realized.
Answer:
attached below
Explanation:
Given data :
Deferred tax asset account = $72800 at the end of 2019
single cumulative temporary difference = $364,000
At the end of 2020
single cumulative temporary difference = $416,000
Taxable income for 2020 = $762000
tax rate = 20% for all years
A) attached below
deferred income tax asset = $( 416,000 - 364,000 ) * 20%
= $10400
Income tax payable = $(762,000 ) * 20% = $152,400
Income tax expense = ( income tax payable - deffered income tax )
= $152400 - $10400 = $142,000

The following information relates to a product produced by Bayfield Company:Direct materials $50Direct labor 35Variable overhead 30Fixed overhead 40Unit cost $155Fixed selling costs are $1,000,000 per year. Although production capacity is 900,000 units per year, Bayfield expects to produce only 800,000 units next year. The product normally sells for $180 each. A customer has offered to buy 60,000 units for $150 each. The customer will pay the transportation charge on the units purchased.Requirements:1) Compute the effect on income if Bayfield accepts the special order.2) If Bayfield accepts the special order, how much could normal sales drop before all of the differential profits disappear?
Answer:
1. Effect on Income = Additional Order*(Purchase Price - (Direct Material + Direct Labor + Variable Overhead))
Effect on Income = 60,000*(150 - (50+35+30))
Effect on Income = 60,000*(150 - 115)
Effect on Income = 60,000 units * $35
Effect on Income = $2,100,000
Net Income would increase by $2,100,000
2. Drop in Sales = Increase in Net Income/(Normal Sales Price - Total Variable Costs)
Drop in Sales = $2,100,000/(180 - 115)
Drop in Sales = $2,100,000/65
Drop in Sales = 32307.69231
Drop in Sales = $32,307.69

A clothing store sells T-shirts, t, for $8 a shirt and shorts, s, for $12 each. The
store earned $216 in revenue last month. The store sold three times as many
T-shirts as shorts. Which system of equations represents this scenario?
O A. 12t + 8s = 216; t = 3 + S
B. 8t+ 12s = 216; t = 3s
C. 8t + 12 s = 216; t = 3 + S
D. 12t+ 8s = 216; t = 3s
Answer:
b.
Explanation:
The store sold three times as many T-shirts as shorts the system of equations represents this scenario is 8t + 12 s = 216; t = 3 + S.
Let's start by setting up the equations. Let s be the number of shorts sold and t be the number of T-shirts sold.
From the problem, we know that:
The price of each T-shirt is $8 and the price of each short is $12. The revenue earned from selling s shorts is 12s and the revenue earned from selling t T-shirts is 8t.
The total revenue earned is $216. Therefore, we have the equation:
12s + 8t = 216
The store sold three times as many T-shirts as shorts. This gives us the equation:
t = 3s
Now we can substitute t = 3s into the first equation and solve for s:
12s + 8(3s) = 216
12s + 24s = 216
36s = 216
s = 6
Substituting s = 6 into t = 3s, we get:
t = 3(6)
t = 18
Therefore, the store sold 18 T-shirts and 6 shorts.
Checking the answer, we see that:
Revenue from T-shirts = 18 x $8 = $144
Revenue from shorts = 6 x $12 = $72
Total revenue = $144 + $72 = $216
So the answer is (C) 8t + 12s = 216; t = 3 + S.

project requires an initial fixed asset investment of $148,000, has annual fixed costs of $39,800, a contribution margin of $14.62, a tax rate of 21 percent, a discount rate of 15 percent, and straight-line depreciation over the project's 3-year life. The assets will be worthless at the end of the project. What is the present value break-even point in units per year?
Answer:
18,119 units
Explanation:
Break even Point is the level of activity at which the the project makes neither a profit nor loss.
Break even Point = (Annual fixed costs of a project + Annual equivalent cost of the project) ÷ Contribution per unit
where,
Annual fixed costs of a project = $39,800
Step 1 : Calculate PMT
This is to account for additional fixed costs on initial investment that needs to be covered.
N = 3
I = 15 %
PV = $148,000
FV = $0
PMT = ?
Using a Financial calculator, the PMT is $225,090
Step 2: Calculate Break Even Point
Break even Point = ($39,800 + $225,090) ÷ $14.62
= 18,119 units
Conclusion
The present value break-even point in units per year is 18,119 units
