Determine the following 2011 balance sheet items:
1. Current assets
2. Shareholders’ equity
3. Non-current assets
4. Long-term liabilities
Solution 3-18
1. Acid-test ratio = Quick assets ÷ Current liabilities =1.20
Quick assets = Current assets - Inventories
Quick assets = Current assets - $840,000
Current assets ÷ Current liabilities =2.25
Current assets - $840,000 ÷ Current liabilities =1.20
$840,000 ÷ Current liabilities = 1.05
Current liabilities = $800,000 Current assets ÷ $800,000 = 2.25
Current assets = $1,800,000
2. Debt to equity ratio = Total liabilities ÷ Shareholders’ equity = 1.8
Total liabilities + Shareholders' equity = Total assets
Total liabilities + Shareholders' equity = $2,800,000
Let x equal shareholders' equity
1.8 x + x = $2,800,000 x = $1,000,000 = Shareholders' equity
3. Non-current assets = Total assets - Current assets
Non-current assets = $2,800,000 - 1,800,000 = $1,000,000
4. Long-term liabilities = Total assets - Current liabilities - Shareholders' equity Long-term liabilities = $2,800,000 - 800,000 - 1,000,000 = $1,000,000
