Answer 1

Answer to Question 1:

Requirement 1.

Quick Ratio = Quick Assets / Current Liabilities

Quick Assets = Cash + Marketable Securities + Accounts Receivable, Net + Other Current Assets
Quick Assets = $12,000 + $23,000 + $55,000 + $2,000
Quick Assets = $92,000

Current Liabilities = Accounts Payable + Other Current Liabilities
Current Liabilities = $18,000 + $105,000
Current Liabilities = $123,000

Quick Ratio = $92,000 / $123,000
Quick Ratio = 0.75

Quick Ratio is weak, as a Company should have sufficient Quick assets to meet its current liabilities.

Days’ Sales Outstanding = 365 * Average Accounts Receivable / Net Sales

Average Accounts Receivable = ($55,000 + $69,000) / 2
Average Accounts Receivable = $62,000

Days’ Sales Outstanding = 365 * $62,000 / $868,000
Days’ Sales Outstanding = 26.07 days

Days’ sales outstanding is strong, as it collecting its sales in less than its credit period.

Requirement 2.

The two ways to speed up cash flow from receivable are:

1. Change in credit terms by providing discount rate for making early payment;
2. Change in credit period extended.
