Answer:

(1) Debt Ratio in 2017 = 44.57%; Debt Ratio in 2016 = 39.33%; Equity Ratio in 2017 = 55.43%; and Equity Ratio in 2016 = 60.67%.

(2) Debt-To-Equity Ratio in 2017 = 80.42%; and Debt-To-Equity Ratio in 2016 = 64.83%.

(3) Times Interest Earned in 2017 = 4.71 times; and Times Interest Earned in 2016 = 4.22 times.

Explanation:

(1) Calculation of debt and equity ratios

Debt ratio is a ratio that is used to measure the ability of a company to pay off its liabilities with its assets. Debt ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Debt Ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets

We can then calculate as follows:

Total debt = Accounts payable + Long-term notes payable secured by mortgages on plant assets

Total debt in 2017 = $159,605 + $120,505 = $280,110

Total debt in 2016 = $89,723 + $123,354 = $213,077

Total assets in 2017 = $628,417

Total assets in 2016 = $541,739

Debt Ratio in 2017 = $280,110 / $628,417 = 0.4457, or 44.57%

Debt Ratio in 2016 = $213,077 / $541,739 = 0.3933, or 39.33%

Equity ratio is a ratio that is used to measure the amount of assets of a company that are financed by the investments of the owners of the company. Equity ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Equity Ratio = Total Equity / Total Assets

We can then calculate as follows:

Total equity = Common stock, $10 par value + Retained earnings

Total equity in 2017 = $162,500 + $185,807 = $348,307

Total equity in 2016 = $162,500 + $166,162 = $328,662

Equity Ratio in 2017 = 0.5543, or 55.43%

Equity Ratio in 2016 = 0.6067, or 60.67%

(2) Calculation of debt-to-equity ratio.

The debt-equity ratio provides the proportion of financing of a company that is contributed by creditors and investors. Debt-equity ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Debt-To-Equity Ratio = Total Debt / Total Equity

Using the data in part (1) above, we can then calculate as follows:

Debt-To-Equity Ratio in 2017 = $280,110 / $348,307 = 0.8042, or 80.42%

Debt-To-Equity Ratio in 2016 = $213,077 / $328,662 = 0.6483, or 64.83%

(3) Calculation of times interest earned

The times interest earned ratio is a ratio that is used to determine the proportionate amount of income that that is required to cover interest expenses. The times interest earned ratio can be calculated using the following formula:

Times Interest Earned = Earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) / Interest expenses

We can then calculate as follows:

EBIT = Sales - Cost of goods sold - Other operating expenses

EBIT in 2017 = $816,942 - $498,335 - $253,252 = $65,355

EBIT in 2016 = $644,669 - $419,035 - $163,101 = $62,533

Interest expenses in 2017 = $13,888

Interest expenses in 2016 = $14,827

Times Interest Earned in 2017 = $65,355 / $13,888 = 4.71 times

Times Interest Earned in 2016 = $62,533 / $14,827 = 4.22 times

faust18 [17]

Answer:

There are at least 2 opportunity costs associated with of letting your colleague have another month:

  1. if you invested in the oil-well venture, you could have earned $5,100 x 36% = $1,836 in one year
  2. if you invested in the new IT stock, you could have earned $5,100 x 48% = $2,448 in one year

You could invest in one of these options, or divide your money and invest in both options, e.g. invest $2,000 in the oil company and $3,000 in the IT company. Each different investment proportion results in a different opportunity cost.

Explanation:

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs associated to carrying out an investment or activity instead of another alternative. Sometimes you might have several opportunity costs for one investment, e.g. invest in the IT company which is risky, invest in corporate bonds which is less risky or invest in US securities which is a safe investment.
