Question

You have the following information on Marco's Polo Shop: total liabilities and equity = $210 million; current liabilities = $50 million, inventory = $65 million, and quick ratio = 1.7 times. Using this information, what is the balance for fixed assets on Marco Polo's balance sheet?

Answer 1

Answer:

$60 million

Explanation:

The quick ratio is  the financial ratio of the current assets less inventory to current liabilities. While the accounting equation shows the relationship between the elements of a balance sheet which are assets liabilities and equity.

This may be expressed mathematically as

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Given that quick ration is 1.7 and current liabilities = $50 million

1.7 = current assets less inventory/$50 million

current assets less inventory = 1.7 * $50 million

= $85 million

The total asset is made up of the current assets less inventory, inventory, fixed assets. Let the balance for fixed assets be y

$85 + $65 + y = $210   (all amounts in millions)

y = $210 - $150   (all amounts in millions)

y = $60   (all amounts in millions)
