so before you do anything, you have to determine what categories are what…
ie–utilities and rent would be an expenses, because your company pays money monthly for them
sales, etc. are included in your income, because its cash coming into your company
debt ratio = total debt/total assets
ie–if your companys total assets (cash, inventory, land, etc) totals 50,000…and your company has 60,000 in debt (accounts payable, notes payable, etc)…then your debt ratio is 1.2 : 1—not good…you would always like to see your debt ratio at 1:1 or less…
hope that helped…
If all those things mentioned above are EXPENSES for the year then you’ve got a totally different(and much higher) net loss and debt to income ratio. And I would also say a poorly run company 😛
Hope that helps. Post back if you’d like about whether those are expenses or assets or if the question doesn’t say. If it doesn’t say then you can only give it your best guess and complain to the teacher…
In the given data, Gross Income was not stipulated. In my analysis, Cash and the Account Receivables comprise the Gross Income earned for the year. And the only expense incurred was the Office Supplies. Therefore :
Net Income = 19,324 + 22,947 – 3,381
Net Income = 38,890
#2. Debt Ratio = Total Debts / Total Assets
Total Debts = Accounts Payable + Notes Payable
Total Assets = (Based on the data given) Cash + Accounts Receivable + Office Supplies + Office Equipment + Trucks + Building
Debt Ration = 149,185 / 483,103
ASSUMING ALL THE FIGURES ARE IN DOLLARS.
IN ACCOUNTANCY,
EQUITY+CURRENT LIABILITIES=ASSETS+CUREENT ASSESTS
; EQUITY=22947+55462+184883+46137-38165+19324
EQUITY=290588
THEREFORE EQUITY=290588-NOT PAYABLE
=290588-111020
=179568
HENCE BY,THESE
EQUITY ALWAYS STANDS FOR OWMER CAPITAL PLUS CURRENT YEAR PROFIT, AS YOU HAVE NOT MENTIONED THE OWNERS CAPITAL HENCE ASSUMING THAT TOTAL EQUITY AMOUNT IS THE NET INCOME I.E.,
NET INCOME=179568-3381=176187
DEBT RATIO IS THERE OF EQUAL TO
TOTAL DEBT/TOTAL ASSETS
IF TAKE AN EXAMPLE THAT YOUR COMPANY TOTAL DEBT ARE 120000 AND YOUR TOTAL ASSETS ARE 1200000
THEN IT SEEMS NOT GOOD THAT YOUR COMPANY FACE A RATIO OF NEGATIVE INTERMS AS 1:10
SO, IT IS SUGGESTABLE THAT THE DEBT RATIO MUST ALWAYS BE EQUAL TO THE TOTAL ASSETS THAT IS 5:5
RATIO HENCE HOPING THAT THIS WILL HELP YOU !!!!!!!
BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
