Answer:

Yes;a.because the money will be recovered in 2.10 years

Explanation:

Assume the company takes uses the loan to expand, how much time will it take to pay back the loan?

This can be expressed as;

T=F+S+T

where;

T=total cash flow needed to repay the loan

F=cash flow for the first year

S=cash flow for the second year

T=cash flow for needed in the third year to pay the loan

In our case;

T=$215,000

F=$60,000

S=$140,000

T=unknown

replacing;

215,000=60,000+140,000+T

T+200,000=215,000

T=215,000-200,000=15,000

The cash flow needed in the third year to pay the loan=$15,000

Determine how long it will take to raise $15,000 in the third year;

total cash flow in the third year=$150,000

1 year=$150,000

To raise $15,000=15,000/150,000=0.1 years

Total number of years=1+1+0.1=2.1 years

It will take 2.1 years to pay back the loan.

The firm should expand since the money will be recovered in 2.1 years even before the repayment period.

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Current (quick) assets: $195,000

Working capital: $138,000

Explanation:

We can find the correct answer by laying out the information appropriately:

Current Assets:

Accounts Receivable: $65,000

Cash: $20,000

Inventory: $72,000

Marketable securities: $36,000

Prepaid expenses: $2,000

Total: $195,000

Current Liabilities:

Accounts payable: $30,000

Accrued liabilities: $7,000

Notes payable (short-term): $20,000

Total: $57,000

Working capital = current assets - current liabilities

Working capital = $195,000 - $57,000

                           = $138,000

The following accounts mentioned in the question are non-current assets: intangible assets, long-term investments, and property, plant and equipment.

And long-term liabilities, as the name implies, is classified as a non-current liability.

Explanation:

Balance Sheet of a company has different heads under which items are classified according to their nature. The major account heads for classification are Assets, Liabilities and Equity.

Prepaid Advertising and Account receivable are classified as current asset because this is expected to be used within a year.

Equipment is classified as Long term asset under the head, Property, Plant and Equipment. The equipment has estimated useful life more than a year then it is classified as Long term asset.

Trademarks and patents are classified as intangible assets, because they are not physical in nature.

Salaries and Wages payable, Income Tax payable and Unearned sales revenue are classified as Current liabilities. These expenses are due to pay within a year.

Retained Earnings and Common Stock are classified as Stockholders equity. The amount after subtracting all liabilities from total assets is referred to as Stockholder equity.

Accumulated depreciation is deducted from Property, Plant and Assets. This has negative sign and is a contra asset account.

The journal entry is shown below:

Estimated Warranty Liability A/c Dr $14,000

         To Merchandise Inventory  $14,000

Hence, all other options are wrong except last one
