Answer:

C. 1.25 times

Explanation:

Given: Cash 20,000 Accounts payable 11,000 Notes receivable 15,000 Wages payable 5,000 Stock 5,000 Retained earnings 20,000 Inventory 6,000 Notes Payable 8,000.

Current Liability: Accounts payable.

Now, calculating the quick ratio.

Formula; Quick ratio= \frac{Current\ asset- Inventory}{Current\ liability}

⇒ Quick ratio= \frac{20000- 6000}{11000}

⇒ Quick ratio= \frac{14000}{11000}

∴ Quick ratio= 1.27 ( 1.25\ is\ closest\ options\ given)

Hence, Quick ratio is 1.25 times

A company has an opening stock of 6,000 units of output. The production planned for the current period is 24,000 units and expec
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

                                                Last year           Current year

Selling Price                      10                         10

Varaible Price                5                         6

Contribution Margin               5                               4

Break even is the point where total cost is equal to total revenue mean no profit and loss.

company earns the contribution margin after covering the variable cost, now only fix cost remains for break even.

Break Even using FIFO method :  first In first out system

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

contribution from opening units(6000*5)                            =     30000

Remaining Fix cost that should be Covered from

current year products                                                            =     56000

 

Units to be sold for break-even ( 56000/4)   = 14000

so we have break even units   6000+14000 = 20000

Fix cost                              = -86000

Opening 6000*5              = 30000

Current   14000*4             = 56000

Profit                                   = 0

Break Even using LIFO method : Last in first out

Fix Cost                                                                            =     86000

Break even =  Fix Cost / Contribution margin

Break even =  86000/4 =21500

current production is 24000 which is higher than break even units so we can cover the fix cost from current year production because company is using lifo method. we do not need opening units for the break even.

Midyear on July 31st, the Digby Corporation's balance sheet reported: Total Liabilities of $77.152 million Cash of $6.030 millio
jonny [76]

Answer:

$45.027 million

Explanation:

The accounting equation shows the relationship between the various elements of the balance sheet. These are the assets, liabilities and equity. It is given as

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

The owner's equity is made up of the common stock and retained earnings (which is the net income less dividend paid over the period).

Equity = $125.989 million - $77.152 million

= $48.837  million

Retained earnings = Equity - Common stock

= $48.837  million - $3.810 million

= $45.027 million

Digby Corporation's retained earnings is $45.027 million
