6. A firm has $400,000 in current assets, $400,000 in long-term assets, $80,000 in current
liabilities, and $200,000 in long-term liabilities. What is its net working capital?

A)$120,000

B)$320,000

C)$520,000

D)none of the above


Working Capital = $400,000 - $80,000

= $320,000

7. A firm has total current liabilities of $100,000. It has $900,000 in long-term debt. The
stockholders equity is $1,500,000. What is the total debt to asset ratio?

A)45%

B)40%

C)55%

D)none of the above

Total Liabilities = $100,000 + $900,000
= $1,000,000

Total Assets = Liabilities + Equity

= $1,000,000 + $1,500,000
= $2,500,000

Debt-to-Assets ratio = $1,000,000 / $2,500,000

= 0.4

9. Given the following, what is free cash flow? Cash flow from operating activities
$175,000; capital expenditures $35,000 and dividends $25,000

A)$115,000.

B)$235,000.

C)$185,000.

D)$165,000.

10. If a firm has fixed costs of $30,000, a price of $4.00, and a breakeven point of 15,000
units, the variable cost per unit is:

A)$5.00

B)$2.00
C)$.50

D)$4.00

Breakeven Point = Fixed Costs ÷ Unit Contribution Margin

15,000 = $30,000 ÷ Unit Contribution Margin

Unit Contribution Margin = $30,000 ÷ 15,000

= $2

Variable Cost per Unit = Sales Price – Unit Contribution Margin

= $4 - $2

= $2

16. You will deposit $2,000 today. It will grow for 6 years at 10% interest compounded
semiannually. You will then withdraw the funds annually over the next 4 years. The
annual interest rate is 8%. Your annual withdrawal will be:

A)$2,340

B)$4,332

C)$797

D)$1,085

FV of the $2,000 annuity = $2,000 × (1.05)12

= $3,591.71

This amount represents the present value of the 4 year withdrawals

Therefore:
                          1
                  1
                       (1.08)4
$3,591.71  C 
                       0.08

$3,591.71 = 3.31213C

C = $3,591.71 ÷ 3.31213

= $1,084.41

19. A firm has operating profit of $120,000 after deducting lease payments of $20,000.
Interest expense is $40,000. What is the firm's fixed charge coverage?

A)6.00x

B)2.33x

C)2.00x

D)3.00x



Fixed Charge Coverage =

Income before Fixed Charges and Taxes = $120,000 + $20,000 = $140,000

Fixed Charges = $20,000 + $40,000 = $60,000

Fixed Charge Coverage = $140,000 ÷ $60,000

= 2.33
20. A firm has a debt to asset ratio of 75%, $240,000 in debt, and net income of $48,000.

A)60%

B)20%

C)26%

D)not enough information




                         Total Debt
Debt to Assets Ratio =
                         Total Assets


          $240,000
0.75=
         Total Assets

Total Assets = $240,000 ÷ 0.75

= $320,000

Return on Assets = Net Income ÷ Total Assets

= $48,000 ÷ $320,000

= 0.15

ROE = 0.15 ÷ (1-0.75)

= 0.6

price of

A)$20.00

$90,000. The return on equity is

A)60%

B)15%

C)30%

Debt to equity ratio = Total Debt ÷ Total Equity

0.5 = $300,000 ÷ Total Equity

Total Equity = $300,000 ÷ 0.5

Return on Equity = Net Income ÷ Total Equity
= $90,000 ÷ $600,000

= 0.15
