Answer:

a) Current Ratio = 0.99

b) Quick Ratio = 0.96

c)  

The Current Ratio is a liquidity measure that shows the ratio between current asset and current debt obligations. It tells how many dollars of current asset are per dollar of current debts, that gives an idea of the company`s ability to perform its debts.    

The Quick Ratio is also a liquidity indicator that measures the capacity of a company, using its most liquid assets, to pay its current debt at maturity. The inventory, although it is a current asset, is not considered, since it cannot be converted into cash in a very short term.

The difference between the Quick Ratio and the Current Ratio, implies that while both are measures of the company's ability to pay its debts, the quick ratio also tells how much the company depends on its inventory to get that objective.

In Apple´s and Hewlett-Packard´s case we can say that Apple is better covert, but not for too much, because of their current ratio. And, because of its quick ratio, Apple doesn't depend on its inventory as much as Hewlett-Packard.

Explanation:

APPLE´S CURRENT RATIO:

Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current Liabilities

Current Ratio = 76.36 / 76.41

Current Ratio = 0.99

APPLE´S QUICK RATIO:

Quick Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories) / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio = (76.36 – 2.45) / 76.41

Quick Ratio = 0.96

The comparative financial statements for Prince Company are below:
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

It is increases by 0.155 times

Explanation:

As we know that    

Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities

where,

Current assets = Cash + account receivable + inventory

So in year 1, the current ratio is

= ($7,000 + $18,000 + $34,000) ÷ ($17,000)

= ($55,000) ÷ ($17,000)

= 3.47 times

And, in year 2 , the current ratio is

= ($4,000 + $14,000 + $40,000) ÷ ($16,000)

= ($58,000) ÷ ($16,000)

= 3.625 times

Therefore, it is increases by 0.155 times

11. Brooke Company desires net income of $720,000 when it has $2,000,000 of fixed costs and variable costs of 60% of sales. Cont
Mila [183]

Answer:

b. $2,720,000

Explanation:

The contribution margin is what is left after subtracting the variable cost from the sales.

From there, the company pays their fixed cost and the rest is net income.

In this case you have a company desiring to get 720,000 net income after paying their 2,000,000 fixed cost

So we come up with with formula:

Contribution Margin - Fixed Cost = Net Income

Replacing the know values, we get the unknow value. Like it was a solve for X question:

X - 2,000,000 = 720,000\\X = 2,000,000 + 720,000\\X = 2,720,000
