Answer 1

Based on the given information, the first following ratios can be calculated:

Current Ratio = Total Current Assets / Total Current Liabilities

= $426,700 / $150,600

= 2.83

Working notes:

Quick Ratio = Total Current Assets - Prepaid Expenses - Inventory / Total Current Liabilities

= $426,700 - $11,300 - $152,400 / $150,600

= $263,000 / $150,600

= 1.75

Return on Equity = Net Income - Preferred Dividends / Total Shareholders' Equity

Total Shareholders' Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities

Total Shareholders' Equity = $842,300 - $386,800

Total Shareholders' Equity = $455,500

Working notes:

Therefore -

Return on Equity = Net Income - Preferred Dividends / Total Shareholders' Equity

= $82,900 - $0 / $455,500

= 0.18

Return on Assets = Net Income / Total Assets

= $82,900 / $842,300

= 0.10
