kirza4 [7]

Answer:

2030

Explanation:

The computation of the total number of new generators including this year is shown below

Given that

(A) = 100

Common Ratio (r) = 1.15

n = 10

Now

Sum of 10 terms Sn is

= A × (r n - 1) ÷ (r - 1)

= 100 × (1.1510 - 1) ÷ (1.15 - 1)

= 100 × 3.0456 ÷ 0.15

= 2030

We simply applied the above formula so that the total number of new generators could come

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Liquidity measures for the year 2017 are as under:

Current Ratio = 1.5

Working Capital = $100,000

Acid Test Ratio = 0.95

Accounts Receivables Turnover = 10 times

Inventory turn over = 4 times

Explanation:

Current Ratio

Current Ratio = Current Assets ÷ Current Liabilities

Dec 31, 2017 Dec 31, 2016

$300,000 ÷ $200,000 $245,000 ÷ $155,000

Current Ratio 1.5 1.6

Working Capital

Working Capital = Current Assets – Current Liabilities

Dec 31, 2017 Dec 31, 2016

$300,000 – $200,000 $245,000 – $155,000

Working Capital $100,000 $90,000

Acid Test Ratio

Acid Test Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventory) ÷ Current Liabilities

Dec 31, 2017 Dec 31, 2016

($300,000 – $110,000) ÷ $200,000 ($245,000 – $90,000) ÷ $155,000

Acid Test Ratio 0.95 1.00

Accounts Receivables Turnover Times

Accounts Receivables Turnover = Credit Sales ÷ Average Accounts Receivables

Average Accounts Receivables = (Opening Accounts Receivables + Closing Accounts Receivables) ÷ 2

Average Accounts Receivables = ($55,000 + $95,000) ÷ 2 = $75,000

Accounts Receivables Turnover = $750,000 ÷ $75,000 = 10 Times

Inventory Turnover Times

Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold ÷ Average Inventory

Average Inventory = (Opening Inventory + Closing Inventory) ÷ 2

Average Inventory = ($110,000 + $90,000) ÷ 2 = $100,000

Inventory Turnover = $400,000 ÷ $100,000 = 4 Times

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

The maximum interest rate which the bank needs to offer the loan is 3%

Explanation:

The maximum interest rate which the bank needs to offer the loan is computed as:

Maximum interest rate = Amount received in one year - Amount invested today / Amount invested today

where

Amount received in one year is $6,180

Amount invested today is $6,000

Putting the values above:

Maximum interest rate = ($6,180 - $6,000) / $6,000

= $180 / $6,000

= 3%

So, the maximum interest rate is 3% which is needed to offer by banks
