Note: Refer to Table (3) for total assets and total liabilities values.
(d)
To prepare: (d) Analyze the current ratio and debt to assets ratio, and decide whether to sell the equipment to Corporation F
(d)

Explanation of Solution
Change in current ratio and debt to assets ratio: Equipment is a fixed asset, not a current asset. 5-year note payable is a long-term liability. So, these two items will have no effect on current ratio. But the referred loan (note payable) would affect Corporation F’s debt to asset ratio. If total assets and total liabilities increase, the debt to assets ratio will also increase from 15.5% to 39.1% as shown below:
Decision to make sale: The sales manager of L Equipment would prefer to make sale of equipment based on the computed current ratio of 6.3:1 and debt to assets ratio of 15.5%. These ratios indicate that the company has good ability to pay off short-term and long-term obligations. But the sales manager would also estimate the interest paying capacity of L Equipment in the future. Moreover, this year Corporation F is in losses. The sales manager could better lower his note payable amount by considering a down payment initially.
