Answer:

Answers are calculated below

Explanation:

Financial ratios can be calculated according to their formulas. Both formulas and calculation are as follows

CURRENT RATIO

Current ratio = Current assets/current liabilities

Current ratio (2016) = $360,000/$250,000

Current ratio (2016) = 1.44

Current ratio (2017) = $450,000 / $300,000

Current ratio (2017) = 1.50

ACID RATIO

Acid ratio = (Current asset - inventory)/current liabilities

Acid ratio (2016) = (360,000 - 165,000)/250,000

Acid ratio (2016) = 0.78

Acid ratio (2017) = (450,000-225,000)/300,000

Acid ratio (2017) = 225,000/300,000

Acid ratio (2017) = 0.75

INVENTORY TURNOVER RATIO

Inventory turnover ratio = cost of good Sold / Average inventory

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 864,000/(360,000 ÷2)

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 864,000/180,000

Inventory turnover ratio (2016) = 4.80

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 1,023,750 / ( 390,000 ÷ 2)

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 1,023,750 / 195,000

Inventory turnover ratio (2017) = 5.25

DAYS SALE IN RECEIVABLE

Days sale in receivable = 365/Average receivable turnover ratio

Days sale in receivable (2016) = 365/ 12.67(w1)

Days sale in receivable (2016) = 28.81 days

Days sale in receivable (2017) =365/11.7(w1)

Days sale in receivable (2017) = 31.20 days

Working 1

Account receivable turnover ratio = Sales/ Average receivable

Account receivable turnover ratio (2016) = 1,752,000/138,288(w2)

Account receivable turnover ratio = 12.67 times

Account receivable turnover ratio (2017) = 1,642,500/140,351(w2)

Account receivable turnover ratio (2017) = 11.7 times

Working 2

Average receivable = (Opening + Closing) /2

Average receivable (2016) = (132,000 + 144,576) /2

Average receivable (2016) = 138,288

Average receivable (2017) = (144,576 +136,125 ) /2

Average receivable (2017) = 140,351

Incremental % for each year deposit- 5 %

Rate of Interest provided by the education savings account- 6%

The term for which they would be depositing- 18 years (until the baby turns of 18 years means 18 annual instalments)

The amount that parents would deposit on the second birthday-

The amount deposited by parents would be 5% more than the amount deposited by them on the previous birthday

Hence incremental amount would be 5% of 3000

(5/100) *3000= $ 150

The amount that would be deposited on 2nd birthday would be 3000+150= $ 3150

If Marv can decorate 8 wedding cakes or 13 cheesecakes, it follows that the opportunity cost of making 8 wedding cakes is 13 cheesecakes. The question asks the cost of making a cake. This is given by:

= 1.6 cheesecakes to the nearest tenth as the answer.
