Answer 1

Answer:

1. $132,600

2. $7,700

3. $25,600

Explanation:

1. Calculation to determine Total current assets

First step is to calculate the Current liabilities using this formula

Current liabilities = salaries payable + accounts playable + accrued interest

Let plug in the formula

Current liabilities= 19000 + 58000 + 1000

Current liabilities= 78000

Now let calculate the Total current assets using this formula

Total current assets = current ratio * current liabilities

Let plug in the formula

Total current assets = 1.7* 78000

Total current assets = $132,600

Therefore Total current assets is $132,600

2. Calculation to determine Short-term investments

Using this formula

Short term investments = Current assets - [cash + accounts receivables + inventory]

Let plug in the formula

Short term investments = 132,600 - [6900 + 39,000 + 79,000]

Short term investments = $7,700

Therefore Short term investments will be $7,700

3. Calculation to determine the Retained earnings

Using this formula

Current assets + fixed assets = Current liabilities + Long term liabilities + paid in capital + retained earnings

Let plug in the

132,600 + 215,000 = 78,000 + 49,000 + 195,000 + Retained earnings

347,600 = 322,000 + retained earnings

Retained earnings = 347,600 - 322,000

Retained earnings = $25,600

Therefore Retained earnings will be $25,600
