Part II. Problems. P1. Net sales are $6,000,000, beginning total assets are $2,800,000, and the asset turnover is 2.0 times. What is the ending total asset balance? Asset turnover = net sales / average assets = 2 = 6,000,000 / ((2,800,000 + x )/2) = 2 = (2,800,000 + x ) / 2 = 3,000,000 = x = 3,200,000 Ending total asset balance is $3,200,000

P2. Assume the following sales data for a company: 2013 €1,200,000 2012 960,000 2011 840,000 2010 600,000 If 2010 is the base year, what is the percentage increase in sales from 2010 to 2012? = (2012 – 2010) / 2010 = (960,000 – 600,000) / 600,000 =360,000 / 600,000 = 60%

P3. The following information is available for Charles Company: 2011 2010 Accounts receivable $ 360,000 $ 400,000 Inventory 280,000 320,000 Net credit sales 2,470,000 1,400,000 Cost of goods sold 1,860,000 1,060,000 Net income 300,000 170,000 The receivables turnover ratio for 2011 is = net credit sales / avg net receivables = 2,470,000 / ((360,000 + 400,000) / 2) = 2,470,000 / 380,000 = 6.5 P4. The following information pertains to Cheng Company. Assume that all statement of financial position amounts represent both average and ending balance figures. Assume that all sales were on credit. All amounts are in thousands except per share items. Assets Property, plant and equipment Inventory
