Answer to Question 1

D
Explanation: D) Via Calculator: N = 5, I = 3.90, PV = 26,499, Solve for PMT = 5,935.68.

Answer to Question 2

1. Solve for common equity using ROE: Common Equity = 16,900
2. Retained Earnings = Common Equity  Common Stock = 11,900
3. Solve for total assets using ROA: Total Assets = 25,350
4. Total Liabilities & Equity = Total Assets = 25,350
5. Solve for net fixed assets using fixed asset turnover: NFA = 12,500
6. Current Assets = Total Assets  Net Fixed Assets = 12,850
7. Solve for current liabilities using the current ratio: Current Liabilities = 6,425
8. Accounts Payable = Current Liabilities  Short-term Notes Payable = 5,000
9. Plug Long-term Debt: 2,025
10. Use the quick ratio to find inventory: Inventory = 5,140
11. Use the days sales outstanding ratio to find accounts receivable: AR = 2,466
12. Plug the cash figure: Cash = 5,244
