Answer:
1. Total current assets = $104,000
2. Short term investments = $4,300
3. Retained earnings = $27,000
Explanation:
Note: The data given in the question are not complete and merged together. The complete sorted data are now given as follows:
Details Amount ($)
Cash and cash equivalents 5,700
Accounts receivable (net) 27,000
Inventory 67,000
Property, plant, and equipment (net) 160,000
Accounts pay able 46,000
Salaries payable 18,000
Paid-in capital 135,000
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
1. Total current assets
Current liabilities = Accounts playable + Salaries payable + Accrued interest = $46,000 + $18,000 + $1,000 = $65,000
Current ratio = 1.6:1
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities .............. (1)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (1) ans solve for Current assets, we have:
1.6 = Current assets / $65,000
Current assets = 1.6 * $65,000 = $104,000
Therefore, wee have:
Total current assets = $104,000
2. Short-term investments
Current assets = Cash and cash equivalents + Accounts receivables + Inventory + Short term investments ............... (2)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (2) ans solve for Short-term investments, we have:
$104,000 = $5,700 + $27,000 + $67,000 + Short term investments
$104,000 = $99,700 + Short term investments
Short term investments = $104,000 - $99,700 = $4,300
3. Retained earnings
Long term liabilities = Notes payable due in two years = $37,000
Fixed assets = Property, plant, and equipment (net) = $160,000
Current assets + Fixed assets = Current liabilities + Long term liabilities + Paid in capital + Retained earnings ................. (3)
Substituting the relevant values into equation (3) ans solve for Retained earnings, we have:
$104,000 + $160,000 = $65,000 + $37,000 + $135,000 + Retained earnings
$264,000 = $237,000 + Retained earnings
Retained earnings = $264,000 - $237,000 = $27,000
