    does the problems provide any ratios like current ratio, working capital or acid-test ratio? what it turnover in the problem? recievbles turnover or inventory turnover? and why is it equal to sales? your net income cannot be equal to your cash because the problem is based on accrual. what does undivided means? is it retained earnings? to get the floating liabilities, the problem should atleast provide you the current ratio. im wondering why the shares dont have interest rates. what is trade income and why is it equal t income before tax?

    Thanks again Abril,


    1-the problem does not provide any current ratio, Working capital or acid test ratio.It only asks me to Calculate it
    2- TURNOVER the problem does not specify it it exacly, if receivables or inventory. in the book help sheet It says that turnover is or equals to net sales given in question.
    3- UNDEVIDED iam not sure too what it is
    4-the problem does not provide current ratio

    then how will you compute for the balance sheet account if you have been given no relationships/ratio at all?
    maybe if turnover is equal to net sales then most probably that is inventory turn over, and from this you can get your ending inventory. the problem is, turnover should be in the form of ratio and its crazy to have that amount on turnover. maybe NON DEVISIBLE RESERVES anappropriated retained earnings.

    here's what i think, maybe since there was no given ratio then those figures are just what they are.

    example. your gross income is 157,500 and your cost of sale is 298,500. combine the two, you'll get you total sales which is 456,000. the problem is in accrual form then your SALES would be your RECIEVABLES TOO.

    you can start from that.

    hope that helps.
