To determine

Calculate the percentage of assets that were provided by investors, creditors and earnings.

Explanation of Solution

Stockholders’ equity to asset ratio:

Stockholders ‘equity to asset ratio is the ratio that measures the difference between total asset and stockholders ‘equity of the company. Stockholders’ equity ratio reflects the amount of assets that can be claimed by the stockholders in proportion to the value of shares owned by them.

Percentage of total assets acquired from investors is calculated as follows:

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Percentage}\text{of total}\text{assets}\\ \text{acquired}\text{from}\text{investors}\end{array})\text{=}\frac{\text{Investor's}\text{contribution}}{\text{Total}\text{assets}}\text{×100}\\ \text{=}\frac{\text{\$50,000}}{\text{\$102,000}}\text{×100}\\ \text{=49}\text{.0\%}\end{array}$

Note: Total $\text{Asset}\left(\text{\$102,000}\right)\text{=Cash}\left(\text{\$49,000}\right)\text{+Land}\left(\text{\$53,000}\right)$

Debt to Asset Ratio:

Debt to asset ratio is the ratio that measures the difference between total asset and total liability of the company. Debt ratio reflects the finance strategy of the company. It is used to evaluate company’s ability to pay its debts. Higher debt ratio implies the higher financial risk.

Percentage of assets acquired from creditors is calculated as follows:

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Percentage}\text{of total}\text{assets}\\ \text{acquired}\text{from}\text{creditors}\end{array})\text{=}\frac{\text{Creditor's}\text{ loan}}{\text{Total}\text{assets}}\text{×100}\\ \text{=}\frac{\text{\$30,000}}{\text{\$102,000}}\text{×100}\\ \text{=29}\text{.4\%}\end{array}$

Note: Total $\text{Asset}\left(\text{\$102,000}\right)\text{=Cash}\left(\text{\$49,000}\right)\text{+Land}\left(\text{\$53,000}\right)$

Return on assets:

Return on assets is the financial ratio which determines the amount of net income earned by the business with the use of total assets owned by it. It indicates the magnitude of the company’s earnings with relative to its total assets.

Percentage of total assets acquired from retained earnings:

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Percentage}\text{of}\text{total}\text{assets }\\ \text{acquired from}\text{retained}\text{earnings}\end{array})\text{=}\frac{\text{Retained}\text{earnings}}{\text{Total}\text{assets}}\text{×100}\\ \text{=}\frac{\text{\$22,000}}{\text{\$102,000}}\text{×100}\\ \text{=21}\text{.6\%}\end{array}$

Note: Total $\text{Asset}\left(\text{\$102,000}\right)\text{=Cash}\left(\text{\$49,000}\right)\text{+Land}\left(\text{\$53,000}\right)$

Conclusion

Therefore the percentage of total assets acquired from investors is 49.0%, the percentage of total assets acquired from creditors is 29.4% and the percentage of total assets from retained earnings is 21.6%.
