The explanation to the discrepancy arising in Jason's accounts and his bank statement is "Jason transposed the digits on the microwave’s price, which actually cost $86. 74." This can be calculated by reconciling the balance of accounts and bank passbook.

<h3>What is reconciliation statement?</h3>

Reconciliation statement refers to a statement that is prepared to match the accounting balance with the balances in bank passbook. The differences arising due due omission, commission, duplication, or error of principal are given proper effect in the reconciliation to match account with the bank balances.

The answer to the given question can be justified as follows:

Given:

Ending balance as per accounts is $491.33.

Ending balance as per bank statement $473.33

Difference in ending balance is \%491.33 - \$473.33 = \$18

The only statement that justifies the difference of $18 is that the digits of microwave has been transposed from $86.74 to $68.74.

The difference so arising from this error is $86.74 - $68.74 i.e. $18

Hence the correct statement is D

Some recent financial statements for Smolira Golf Corp. follow. SMOLIRA GOLF CORP. 2017 and 2018 Balance Sheets Assets Liabiliti
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

the requirements are missing, so I looked for a similar question:

a. Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities

2017 = $62,976 / $50,555 = 1.25

2018 =  $67,600 / $57,000  = 1.19

b. Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities

2017 = ($62,976 - $26,042) / $50,555 = 0.73

2018 = ($67,600 - $27,500) / $57,000  = 0.70

c. Cash ratio = cash / current liabilities

2017 =  $24,086 / $50,555 = 0.48

2018 = $24,500 / $57,000 = 0.43

d. Total asset turnover = sales / average total assets

2018 = $373,473 / [($391,671 + $430,000) / 2] = 0.91

e. Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory

2018 = $254,500 / [($26,042 + $27,500) / 2] = 9.51

f. Receivables turnover = sales / average accounts receivable

2018 = $373,473 / [($12,848 + $15,600) / 2] = 26.26

g. Profit margin = net profit /  total sales

2018 = $54,319 / $373,473 = 14.54%

h. Return on assets = net income / average total assets

2018 = $54,319 / [($391,671 + $430,000) / 2] = 13.22%

i. Return on equity = net income / average equity

2018 = $54,319 / [($281,116+ $311,435) / 2] = 18.33%
