1.
Ascertain the current ratio of Company E at September 30, 2016 and compare the current ratio of Company E with current ratio of Company T.
Explanation of Solution
Current Ratio: A part of liquidity ratios, current ratio reflects the ability to oblige the short term debts of a company. It is calculated based on the current assets and current liabilities; a company has in an accounting period. A current ratio is a useful tool for analysis of financials of a company.
Calculate the current ratio of Company E at September 30, 2016 as follows:
Here,
Current assets = $273 millions
Current liabilities= $135 millions
Therefore, the current ratio of Company E is 2.02.
Current ratio of Company E is 2.02 and Company T is 2.15, so Company E has less current ratio than Company T and this indicates that Company T has better position to repay the liabilities than Company E.
2.
Analyze the given transaction, and explain their effect on the accounting equation.
Explanation of Solution
Accounting equation: Accounting equation is an accounting tool expressed in the form of equation, by creating a relationship between the resources or assets of a company, and claims on the resources by the creditors and the owners. Accounting equation is expressed as shown below:
Accounting equation for each transaction is as follows:
Figure (1)
Therefore, the total assets are equal to the liabilities and stockholder’s equity.
3.
Record the journal entries based on requirement 2.
Explanation of Solution
Journal: Journal is the method of recording monetary business transactions in chronological order. It records the debit and credit aspects of each transaction to abide by the double-entry system.
Rules of Debit and Credit:
Following rules are followed for debiting and crediting different accounts while they occur in business transactions:
- Debit, all increase in assets, expenses and dividends, all decrease in liabilities, revenues and stockholders’ equities.
- Credit, all increase in liabilities, revenues, and stockholders’ equities, all decrease in assets, and expenses.
Journal entries of Company E are as follows ($ in millions):
a. Inventories purchased in cash:
Date | Accounts title and explanation | Ref. | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
Inventories (+A) | 30 | |||
Cash (-A) | 30 | |||
(To record purchase of supplies in cash) |
Table (1)
- Inventories are an assets account and it increases the value of asset by $30. Hence, debit the inventories account for $30.
- Cash is an assets account and it decreases the value of asset by $30. Hence, credit the cash account for $30.
b. Issuance of common stock:
Date | Accounts title and explanation | Ref. | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
Cash (+A) | 20 | |||
Common stock (+SE) | 20 | |||
(To record the issuance of common stock) |
Table (2)
- Cash is an assets account and it increases the value of asset by $20. Hence, debit the cash account for $20.
- Common stock is a component of stockholder’s equity and it increases the value of stockholder’s equity by $20, Hence, credit the common stock account for $20.
c. Equipment purchased on account and in cash:
Date | Accounts title and explanation | Ref. | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
Equipment (+A) | 170 | |||
Cash (-A) | 60 | |||
Notes payable (+L) | 110 | |||
(To record the purchase of equipment on account and in cash) |
Table (3)
- Equipment is an assets account and it increases the value of asset by $170. Hence, debit the equipment account for $170.
- Cash is an assets account and it decreases the value of asset by $60. Hence, credit the cash account for $60.
- Notes payable is a liability account, and it increases the value of liabilities by $110. Hence, credit the notes payable account for $110.
d. Cash borrowed from bank (short term):
Date | Accounts title and explanation | Ref. | Debit ($) | Credit ($) |
Cash (+A) | 10 | |||
Notes payable (+L) | 10 | |||
(To record cash borrowed from bank) |
Table (4)
- Cash is an assets account and it increases the value of asset by $10. Hence, debit the cash account for $10.
- Notes payable is a liability account, and it increases the value of liabilities by $10. Hence, credit the notes payable for $10.
e. Conducted negotiations to purchase a saw mill:
For this case, no entry is required, because it is not a business transaction.
4.
Prepare T-account for each account listed in the requirement 2.
Explanation of Solution
T-account: T-account refers to an individual account, where the increases or decreases in the value of specific asset, liability, stockholder’s equity, revenue, and expenditure items are recorded.
This account is referred to as the T-account, because the alignment of the components of the account resembles the capital letter ‘T’.’ An account consists of the three main components which are as follows:
- (a) The title of the account
- (b) The left or debit side
- (c) The right or credit side
T-accounts of company E are as follows:
5.
Explain the appropriate response for event (e).
Explanation of Solution
Business transaction: Business transaction is a record of any economic activity, resulting in the change in the value of the assets, the liabilities, and the stockholder’s equities, of a business. Business transaction is also referred to as financial transaction.
Explain the appropriate response for event (e) as follows:
In this case, conducting negotiation to purchase a saw mill is not creating any impact on assets, liabilities and stockholder’s equity of the business, because it is not a business transaction.
6.
Prepare the classified balance sheet of Company E at December 31, 2016.
Explanation of Solution
Classified balance sheet: This is the financial statement of a company which shows the grouping of similar assets and liabilities under subheadings.
Classified balance sheet of Company E is as follows ($ in millions):
Company E | ||

Stockholders’ Equity: | ||
Common Stock | 396 | |
Retained Earnings | 20 | |
Total Stockholders’ Equity | 416 | |
Total Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity | 731 |
Table (1)
Therefore, the total assets of Company E are $731 million, and the total liabilities and stockholders’ equity is $731 million.
7.
Ascertain the current ratio of Company E based on requirement 6 and indicate whether the given transactions has increased or decreased the company’s ability to pay current liabilities.
Explanation of Solution
Ascertain the current ratio of Company E based on requirement 6 and indicate whether the given transactions has increased or decreased the company’s ability to pay current liabilities as follows:
Calculate the current ratio of Company E as follows (refer requirement 6):
Therefore, the current ratio of Company E at December 31, 2016 is 1.68.
Current ratio of Company E at December 31, 2016 (1.68) is less than the current ratio at September 30, 2016 (2.06). It clearly shows that the given transaction has decreased the company’s ability to pay its current liabilities.
8.
Indicate whether the total assets of Company E were primarily financed by liabilities or stockholder’s equity.
Explanation of Solution
Indicate whether the total assets of Company E were primarily financed by liabilities or stockholder’s equity as follows:
The invested amounts of assets primarily come from stockholder’s equity (common stock and retained earnings) of Company E, because stockholder’s equities (common stock) have financed $416 million of Company E’s total assets, whereas liabilities (non-current and current liabilities) have financed only $315 million.
