Liquidity ratios can be found by just simply putting the given values in their appropriate formulas. All you have to memorize is the simple formulas
1.Current Ratio
CURRENT RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS/CURRENT LIABILITIES
CURRENT RATIO = $300,000/$200,000
CURRENT RATIO = 1.5 Times
2. Working Capital
WORKING CAPITAL= CURRENT ASSETS- CURRENT LIABILITIES
WORKING CAPITAL= $300,000 - $200,000
WORKING CAPITAL= $100,000
3. Acid ratio
ACID RATIO = CURRENT ASSETS - INVENTORY - PREPAID EXPENSES/CURRENT LIABILITIES
ACID RATIO = ($300,000 - $110,000 - $35,000)/$200,000
ACID RATIO = 0.775 Times
4. Receivable turnover
RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = CREDIT SALES/AVERAGE RECEIVABLE
RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = $750,000/$75,000
RECEIVABLE TURNOVER = 10 Times
Working
AVERAGE RECEIVABLE = (Opening receivables+Closing receivables)/2
AVERAGE RECEIVABLE = ($55,000 + $95,000) / 2 = $75,000
5. Inventory Turnover
INVENTORY TURNOVER = COST OF GOODS SOLD / AVERAGE INVENTORY
INVENTORY TURNOVER = $400,000 / $100,000
INVENTORY TURNOVER = 4 Times
Working
AVERAGE INVENTORY = (Opening inventories+Closing inventories)/2
AVERAGE INVENTORY = (110,000 + 90,000)/2
AVERAGE INVENTORY = $100,000

Tyler Company applies manufacturing overhead to production at the rate of $4.9 per direct labor hour and ended August with $12,900 underapplied overhead. Actual manufacturing overhead incurred for August amounted to $110,410.
How many direct labor hours did Tyler Company incur during August?
Answer: 19,900 hours
Explanation:
Direct Labor hours = Applied Manufacturing Overhead/ Applied Overhead rate per hour
Applied Manufacturing Overhead
When the overhead is said to be under-applied, the Applied overhead is less than the Actual Overhead.
To find the Applied overhead therefore;
= Actual Overhead - Under-applied amount
= 110,410 - 12,900
= $97,510
Direct Labor hours = Applied Manufacturing Overhead/ Applied Overhead rate per hour
= 97,510/4.9
= 19,900 hours
If I currently sell 10,000 units, and my use of Formula 1 indicates that I will need to sell 500 additional units to justify my suggested change to the marketing mix, what percentage of sales does that represent
Answer:
It represents a 5% change to the marketing mix.
Explanation:
The change = 500/10,000 x 100 = 5%.
Company A's change in a variable can be compared with another index, by expressing the change (addition) as a percentage of the index. For instance, the sale of 10,000 units is an index. The additional 500 units that is needed to be sold represent the change. In percentage terms, the change can be divided by the index and then multiplied by 100.

a. $62.50
b. 57.69
c. 56.25
d. 37.50
Answer:
b. 57.69
Explanation:
Calculation for what price that you will get a margin call
First step
200 shares *$25 per share=$10,000
Second step
Based on the information given we are required to post a 50% margin on the short sale.
Now let find the 50% margin
50% margin =50%*$10,000
50% margin=$5,000
Hence,
$10,000+$5,000=$15,000
Third step
Based on the information given we were told that the broker requires a 30% maintenance margin.
.30=($10,000-200p)/200p
60p=$15,000-200p
260p= $15,000
Hence
$15,000/260
Price= $57.69
Therefore the price that you will get a margin call will be $57.69
A firm has a profit margin of 5.1 percent, a total asset turnover of 1.84, and a return on equity of 16.2 percent. What is the debt-equity ratio
Answer:
Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%
Explanation:
The ROE or return on equity can be calculated using the Du Pont equation. It breaks the ROE into three components. The formula for ROE under Du Pont is,
ROE = Net Income / Sales * Sales / Total Assets * Total Assets / Shareholder's equity
or
ROE = Net Income / Total equity
Assuming that sales is $100.
Net Income = 100 * 0.051 = 5.1
Total Assets = 100 / 1.84
Total Assets = 54.35
0.162 = 5.1 / Total equity
Total Equity = 5.1 / 0.162
Total Equity = 31.48
We know that Assets = Debt + Equity
So,
54.35 = Debt + 31.48
Debt = 54.35 - 31.48
Debt = 22.87
Debt / Equity = 22.87 / 31.48
Debt / Equity = 0.72649 : 1 or 72.649%

The principle that each World Trade Organization member must accord to all other member countries tariff treatment no less favorable than it provides to any other country is known as the __________ principle.
Answer:
Most favoured nation principle
Explanation:
Most favoured nation (MFN) clause of the World Trade Organisation requires that when a nation trades with others the concessions, immunities, and privileges granted to one nation should be the the same granted to all WTO members.
It discourages discrimination where one nation in international trade is favoured above another.
For example if Ghana reduces tariff on trades with South Africa it is expected that tariffs to other WTO nations will also be reduced to 3%.
Exceptions to this principle are for developing nations, regional free trade areas, and custom unions.

3. Expansionary MonetaryPolicy - can be used to address a Recessionary Gap
During times of economic downturn, monetary policy tends to be expansionary: expanding the money supply to lower the interest rate, so that investment becomes cheaper, and the economy reactivates.
1. Contractionary Monetary Policy - can be used to address an Inflationary Gap.
When the money supply is too high, or has grown too fast, inflation often starts. For this reason, the fed usually implements contractionary monetary policy (less money supply, higher interest rate), in order to keep inflation from increasing.
c. To enact Contractionary Monetary Policy, the central bank will - sell bonds
When the fed sell bonds, it takes money from the market, reducing the money supply.
This - reduces - the amount of cash in the economy.
As explained above.
This will cause bond prices to - fall - and interest rates to - rise
The change in interest rates causes investment and consumption to - fall
shifting - Aggregate Demand
Contractionary monetary policy will cause interest rates to rise, making investment more expensive, and causing price hikes, this will reduce consumption.
This in turn will shift the Aggregate Demand curve to the left or inward.
