Holliman Corp. has current liabilities of $407,000, a quick ratio of 1.90, inventory turnover of 4.50, and a current ratio of 3.

Sati [7]

Answer:

Cost of goods will be $4670325

Explanation:

We have given current liabilities = $407000

A quick ratio = 1.90

Current ratio is 3.40 and inventory turnover = 4.50

We know that current ratio is the ratio of current assets and current liabilities

So $3.4=\frac{current\ assets}{current\ liabilities}$

So current assets = $1383800

Now quick ratio is equal to = $\frac{current\ assets-inventory}{curtrent\ liabilities}$

So $0.85=\frac{1383800-inventory}{407000}\\$

Inventory = $1037850

Inventory turnover is given 4.5

So $4.5=\frac{cost\ of\ goods\ sold}{average\ inventory}$

$4.5=\frac{cost\ of\ goods\ sold}{1037850}$

So cost of goods sold = 4.5×$1037850 = $4670325

This would cause a decline in consumer spending and the aggregate demand curve will move down to the left.

An increase in consumer confidence, on the other hand, would cause consumer spending and aggregate demand to increase.
