The current asset section of Guardian Consultant's balance sheet consists of cash, accounts recelvable, and prepald expenses. The 2018 balance sheet reported the following: cash, $1,440,000; prepald expenses, $500,000; noncurrent assets, $3,800,000; and shareholders' equity. $3,900,000. The current ratio at the end of the year was 20 and the debt to equity ratio was 1.4.

Required:

Determine the following 2018 amounts and ratios: (Round your "The acid-test ratio" answer to 1 decimal place.)

1. Current liabilities

2. Long-term liabilities

3. Accounts receivable

4. The acid-test ratio

a) Current Liabilities $2,780,000

b) Long term liabilities $2,680,000

c) Accounts receivable $3,620,000

d) Therefore Acid Test 1.8

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the Current Liabilities

The question requires a work-back based on the information given as follows

Stockholders Equity (A) $3,900,000

Debt Equity Ration 1.4

Total debt therefore ($3,600,000 x 1.4) (B) $5,460,000

Total debt and equity therefore is (A + B) $9,360,000

($3,900,000 + $5,460,000)

Total Equity and Debt = Total Assets

Total Assets therefore $9,360,000

Therefore Current Assets $5,560,000

(Total debt - Non Current Asset)

($9,360,000 - $3,800,000)

Less: Cash and prepaid expenses ($1,940,000)

($1,440,000 + $500,000)

Accounts receivable $3,620,000

Current Ratio therefore is 2.0 (not 20)

Meaning: Current Liabilities $2,780,000

(Current Assets / Current ratio)

($5,560,000/2)

Step 2: Calculate Long term Liabilities

Total debt (from step 1) $5,460,000

less; Current Liabilities $2,780,000

Long term liabilities $2,680,000

Step 3: Accounts Receivable

Total Assets $9,360,000

Current Assets $5,560,000

(Total debt - Non Current Asset)

($9,360,000 - $3,800,000)

Less: Cash and prepaid expenses ($1,940,000)

($1,440,000 + $500,000)

Accounts receivable $3,620,000

Step 4: The Acid test ratio

Cash $1,440,000

Accounts Receivable $3,620,000

Quick Asset (Cash + Accounts receivable) $5,060,000

Current Liabilities $2,780,000

Therefore Acid Test 1.8

(Quick Asset / Current liabilities)

(5,060,000/2,780,000) 1.8
