Answer:

(a) Current ratio = 2.746

(b) Acid-test ratio = 1.423

(c) Debt to assets ratio = 47.48%  

(d) Return on assets = 6.15%

Explanation:

For Balance Sheet, pleased see attached file.

Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current Liabilities

Current Ratio = 212,800 / 77,500

Current Ratio = 2.746

Acid-Test Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories) / Current Liabilities

Acid-Test Ratio = (212,800 – 102,500) / 77,500

Acid-Test Ratio = 1.423

Debt to Asset ratio = (Total Liabilities / Total Assets)*100

Debt to Asset ratio = (205,500 / 432,800)*100

Debt to Asset ratio = 47.48%

ROA = (Net Income / Total Assets)*100

ROA = (26,600 / 432,800)*100

ROA = 6.15%

The Current Ratio is a liquidity measure that shows the ratio between current asset and current liabilities. It tells how many dollars of the 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, but using its most liquid assets, to pay its current liabilities 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.

The Debt to Assets ratio is a financial ratio that shows how much of a company assets is owed to its creditors.  

ROA is a financial indicator that gives an idea as to how efficient a company's management is at using its assets to generate earnings, by determining how profitable a company is relative to its total assets.

Explanation:

Let angle y be the unknown angle inside the triangle.

given

y + 87 + 34 = 180 (sum of angles in a triangle)

y + 87 + 34 = 180 \\ y + 121 = 180 \\ y = 180 - 121 \\  = 59

given y + z = 180 (angles on same straight line)

y + z = 180 \\ 59 + z = 180 \\ z = 180 - 59 \\  = 121

Clarence used to work as a doctor in a federal government hospital. After retiring, he started a private clinic to continue prac
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

self-actualization

Explanation:

The answer is deeply related to "Maslows Hierarchy of Needs."

Abraham Harold Maslow is a popular American psychologist who introduced a motivational theory consisting of five stages in relation to the<em> deficiency needs and growth needs of humans.</em>

Everything starts with the deficiency needs.<u> It is very important to satisfy this need in order to engage into the growth needs.</u> For example, a boy is very thirsty. If that need will not be met, the boy will continuously crave for water. On the contrary, if this is met immediately, the boy will aim to grow as a person. This is what you call the growth needs.

This needs are presented in a pyramid.

From top to bottom:

1. Self-actualization

2. Self-esteem Needs

3. Love or Belongingness Needs

4. Safety Needs

5. Physiological Needs

It is ideal for a person to progress from Physiological Needs to Self-actualization, but it doesn't mean every stage is always met. Sometimes, fluctuations occur depending on the situation.

Regarding Clarence's case above. It was stated that he already worked as a doctor in a federal government. This means that he has already satisfied his self-esteem needs and the other needs below. Becoming a doctor is a prestige and a feeling of accomplishment. This can be found on the <u>Self-Esteem Needs </u>stage. In addition to this, <em>Clarence already reached his full potential and is seeking for personal growth and independence. </em>This is backed by the statement above that he opened a private clinic to continue his practice. This means he is already on the self-actualization stage of the hierarchy.

A company currently sells products in the United States and is considering expanding to China or Vietnam. Expanding won't impact
mariarad [96]

Answer: Company should not expand to either.

Explanation:

Find the expected values of expanding to either country and pick the country with the highest expected value:

China:

= ∑(Probability of outcome * Outcome)

= (20% * 2,000,000) + (30% * 1,000,000) + (50% * -2,000,000)

= -$300,000

Vietnam:

= (70% * 1,000,000) + (30% * -2,500,000)

= -$50,000

<em>Both countries result in an expected loss so company should not expand to either of them. </em>
