at an interest cost of 8 per cent per year. The direct costs for the year are estimated at

To Question 4:

1. Total debt = 0.60 * Owner’s Equity

= 0.60 * 1,00,000 = 60,000

2. Fixed Assets = 0.60 * Owner’s Equity

= 0.60 * 1,00,000 = 60,000

3. Total Capital = Total Debt + Owner’s Equity

= 60,000 + 1,00,000 = 1,60,000

4. Total Assets = Current Assets + Fixed Assets = 1,60,000 = Total Capital

Since FA = 60,000, Thus, 1,00,000

5. Assets Turnover = 2 times

Sales/TA = 2 times Thus, x/1,60,000 = 2 and therefore Sales = 3,20,000

6. Inventory turnover ratio = 8 times

COGS or Sales / Average Inventory => 3,20,000/x = 8 and therefore Inventory = 40,000

7. Cash = Current Assets - Inventory (assumption)

1,00,000 – 40,000 = 60,000

8. Current Debt = 0.40 * Total Debt

0.40 * 60,000 = 24,000

9. Long-term debt = Total debt – current debt

60,000 – 24,000 = 36,000

Therefore,

Sources/Liabilities Amount (Rs.) Applications/Assets Amount (Rs.)

Current Debt 24,000 Cash 60,000
Long-term Debt (+) 36,000 Inventory (+) 40,000
Total Debt 60,000 Total Current Assets 1,00,000
Owner's Equity (+) 1,00,000 Fixed Assets (+) 60,000
TOTAL LIABILITIES 1,60,000 TOTAL ASSETS 1,60,000
