Net income%= $ 50.00
Fixed assets =$ 283.50
Sales =$1,000.00
Quick ratio =2.0
Current ratio= 3.0
DSO =40.55 days
ROE =12%

liabilities, and long-term debt. Find Jacobs's
A. Accounts receivable,
B. Current liabilities,
C. Current assets,
D. Total assets,
E. ROA,
F. Common equity, and
G. Long-term debt.
1B. in part A, you should have found Jacobs's accounts

from 40.55 days to 30.4 days while holding other things
constant, how much cash would it generate? If this cash
were used to buy back common stock (at book value), thus
reducing the amount of common equity, how would this
affect
i.
The ROE
ii. The ROA
