Tiggie’s Dog Toys, Inc. reported a debt-to-equity ratio of 1.75 times at the end of 2018. If the firm’s total assets at year-end

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Total debt is $15.91million

Total equity is 9.09miliion

Explanation:

Debt-to-equity ratio relates to how a firm is financing its operations through debt versus shareholders' equity(owners' fund)

The formula is: Total debt/total equity

Debt-to-equity ratio = 1.75times

Total assets =$25 million

We know the Equity = Asset - liability(debt)

We can rewrite the equation as:

Debt-to-equity ratio = Total debt/asset - debt

Let's represent debt as 'y'

1.75 = y/$25million - y

y = 1.75($25million - y)

y = $43.75 - 1.75y

Collect the like terms

y + 1.75y = $43.75million

2.75y = $43.75million

y = $43.75million/2.75

y = $15.91million

Therefore, total debt is $15.91million

Using the same formula: Total debt/total equity

Lets represent equity with z

1.75 = $15.91million/z

z = 15.91million/1.75

z = 9.09miliion

Therefore total equity is 9.09miliion

The following information relates to the assets of Westfield Semiconductors as of December 31, 2019. Westfield uses the straight

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Given the following:

Asset Acquisition-Cost Expected-Life Residual-Value Time-Used

Land $104,300 Infinite $100,000 10 years

Building 430,000 25 years 30,000 10 years

Machine 285,000 5 years 10,000 2 years

Patent 80,000 10 years 0 3 years

Truck 21,000 100,000 miles 3,000 44,000 miles

Therefore, we have:

Building annual depreciation = ($430,000 - $30,000) / 25 = $16,000

Building net book value (NBV) = $430,000 - (16,000 * 10) = $270,000

Machine annual depreciation = ($285,000 - 10,000) / 10 = $27,500

Machine NBV = $285,000 - ($27,500 * 2) = $230,000

Patent annual amortization = $80,000 / 10 = $8,000

Patent net written down value = $80,000 - ($8,000 * 3) = $56,000

Truck accumulated depreciation = ($21,000 - 3,000) * (44,000 / 100,000) = $7,920

Truck NBV = $21,000 - $7,920 = 13,080
