Answer:

a. Current Ratio  = current assets / current liabilities = 190,000 / 153,000 = 1.24

b. Acid-test ratio  = (current assets - inventory) / current liabilities = (190,000 - 50,000) / 153,000 = 0.92

c. Times interest earned  = EBIT / interest expense = 65,000 / 8,000 = 8.13

d. Inventory turnover  = COGS / inventory = 90,000 / 50,000 = 1.8

e. Total asset turnover  = net sales / total assets = 210,000 / 525,000 = 0.4

f. Operating profit margin  = operating income / total sales = 65,000 / 210,000 = 0.31

g. Days in receivables  = (accounts receivables / total sales) x 365 = (30,000 / 210,000) x 365 =  52.14 days

h. Operating return on assets  = operating income / total assets = 65,000 / 525,000 = 0.12

i. Debt ratio  = total liabilities / total assets = 273,000 / 525,000 = 0.52

j. Fixed asset turnover  = total sales / fixed assets = 210,000 / 335,000 = 0.63

k. Return on equity = net income / total equity = 45,030 / 252,000 = 0.18

Your classmates from the University of Chicago are planning to go to Miami for spring break, and you are undecided about whether you should go with them. The round-trip airfare is $600, but you have a frequent-flyer coupon worth $500 that you could use to pay part of the airfare. All other costs for the vacation are exactly $900. The most you would be willing to pay for the trip is $1,400. Your only alternative use for your frequent-flyer coupon is for your trip to Atlanta two weeks after the break to attend your sister's graduation, which your parents are forcing you to attend. The Chicago-Atlanta round-trip airfare is $450. If the Chicago-Atlanta round-trip air fare were $350, should you use the coupon to go to Miami?

On January 20, 2017, Tamira Nelson, the accountant for Picton Enterprises, is feeling pressure to complete the annual financial statements. The company president has said he needs up-to-date financial statements to share with the bank on January 21 at a dinner meeting that has been called to discuss Picton's obtaining loan financing for a special building project. Tamira knows that she will not be able to gather all the needed information in the next 24 hours to prepare the entire set of adjusting entries. Those entries must be posted before the financial statements accurately portray the company's performance and financial position for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2016. Tamira ultimately decides to estimate several expense accruals at the last minute. When deciding on estimates for the expenses, she uses low estimates because she does not want to make the financial statements look worse than they are. Tamira finishes the financial statements before the deadline and gives them to the president without mentioning that several account balances are estimates that she provided.
Required:
1. Identify several courses of action that Tamira could have taken instead of the one she took.
2. If you were in Tamira's situation, what would you have done?
