    Accounting camparative balance sheet
    2010 2009
    Cash 25,000 30,000
    Receivables (net) 65,000 60,000
    Inventories 60,000 50,000
    Plant assets (net) 200,000 180,000
    -------------------
    350,000 $320,000


    Accounts payable 50,000 60,000
    Mortgage payable 100,000 100,000
    Common stock, $10 par 140,000 120,000
    Retained earnings 60,000 40,000
    ----------------------
    350,000 320,000

    Additional info
    1 net income was 25,000
    2 sales account was 375 sales returns and allowances amount to 25,000
    3 cost of goods sold was 198,000
    4 net cash provided by operating activities was 48,000
    5 capital expenditures were 25,000 and cash dividends were 18,000


    Question 1- current ratio

    I thought it was 1:1 because the formula is current assets / current liabilites but this is wrong.shouldn't I be using the total of assets and liabilities? What am I doing wrong?

    Question 2- cash debt coverage
    I know the formula is cash provided by operations / average total liabilities. So I took 48,000/ 335,000 but this is wrong. (350K 320K)/2=335,000

    Question 3 current cash debt coverage
    I know the formula is cash provided by operations / average current liability so I took 48,000/87,500. 87,500 is the average of all the liabilties number on the 2010 column but this is incorrect.

    I know the formulas, but I don't know what numbers to plug in to get the correct answer for these last 3 questions. I figured out all the other questions.

    Thank you
