Calculations | ||||
Current Assets: | ||||
Cash | Total Current Assets -Accounts Receivable -Inventory = 880000-330000-480000 = | $ 70,000 | ||
Accounts Receivables, Net | (Credit Sales /Accounts Receivable turnover)*2-Beginning Accounts receivable =(4200000/14)*2- 270000= | $ 330,000 | ||
Inventory | Total Current Assets - (Current Liabilities * Acid Test Ratio) = 880000-(320000*1.25) = | $ 480,000 | ||
Total Current Assets | Current Liabilities * Current Ratio = 320000*2.75 = | $ 880,000 | ||
Plant and Equipment, net | Total Assets - Total Current Assets = 1788889-880000= | $ 908,889 | ||
Total Assets | Net Income / Return on Total Assets = 322000/18% = | $ 1,788,889 | ||
Liabilities: | ||||
Current Liabilities: | $ 320,000 | |||
Bonds Payable, 10% | Total Liabilities - Current Liabilities = 834815-320000= | $ 514,815 | ||
Total Liabilities | Total Assets * Debt to equity ratio / (1+Debt to equity ratio) = 1788889*0.875/1.875 = | $ 834,815 | ||
Stockholder's Equity: | ||||
Common Stock, $5 par value | (Net Income / Earnings per share )*Par value = (322000/2.3)*5 = | $ 700,000 | ||
Retained earnings | Total Stockholder's Equity - Common Stock = 954074-700000= | $ 254,074 | ||
Total Stockholder's Equity | Total Assets - Total Liabilities = 1788889-834815 = | $ 954,074 | ||
Total Liabilities and Stockholder's Equity | Total Liabilities and Stockholder's Equity = Total Assets = | $ 1,788,889 |
Pepper Industries | ||||
Income Statement | ||||
For the year ended Mar. 31 | ||||
Sales | $ 4,200,000 | |||
Cost of Goods Sold | Average Inventory * Inventory Turnover = ((360000+480000)/2))*6.5= | $ 2,730,000 | ||
Gross Margin | Sales - Cost of Goods Sold = 4200000-3900000= | $ 1,470,000 | ||
Selling and administrative expenses | Gross Margin -Net operating income = 1470000-540000= | $ 930,000 | ||
Net operating income | Interest expense * Times interest earned ratio = 80000*6.75 = | $ 540,000 | ||
Interest Expense | $ 80,000 | |||
Net Income before taxes | Net operating income - Interest Expense = 540000-80000= | $ 460,000 | ||
Income taxes (30%) | Net Income before taxes * 30% = 460000*30% = | $ 138,000 | ||
Net Income | Net Income before taxes - Income tax = 460000-138000= | $ 322,000 |
