Answer 1

Answer:

1) Accounts receivable amount = $550,200 - $420,000

Accounts receivable amount = $130,200

% increase = $130,200/$420,000 * 100

% increase = 0.31 * 100

% increase = 31%

2. Inventory amount = $855,600 - $620,000

Inventory amount = $235,600

% increase = $235,600/$620,000 * 100

% increase = 0.38 * 100

% increase = 38%

3. Total asset amount = $2,909,750 - $2,575,000

Total asset amount = $334,750

% increase = $334,750/$2,575,000 * 100

% increase = 0.13 * 100

% increase = 13%
